  • Montage October : Dialectic of the Shot*
    Montage October : Dialectic of the Shot* ROSALIND E. KRAUSS While the conventional film directs the emotions, this suggests an opportunity to encourage and direct the whole thought process, as well. —Eisenstein Ten years after the event, Grigory Alexandrov, Sergei Eisenstein’s colleague and codirector, wrote about their one audience with Joseph Stalin in the tones of childlike reverence and obedience that reveal the loss of innocence rather than its opposite. “The idea,” his account began, “that we, young Soviet filmmakers, were to see the great leader of the people, to talk with him personally, filled us with excitement and joy.” And it ended with, “We were sincerely sorry that the talk with Cde Stalin had not taken place before we made our film. It would have been a very different film. .” 1 The interview had been held in the spring of 1929, in the interval between the completion and the official release of The General Line , Eisenstein’s fourth film. Stalin had expressed displeasure about the ending of the film, which purported to express the official position on the collectivization of agriculture. And his criticism had resonated through the Communist Party ranks to deprive the film of its origi - nal release title, substituting instead Old and New , a title that would no longer sig - nal the work as an embodiment of official Soviet directive. During that same meet - ing, Stalin had said something else. The “great friend of Soviet cinema” had spo - ken of the weakness of his comrade filmmakers’ grasp of Marxism. “Cde Stalin spoke heatedly,” reports Alexandrov, “about the slight acquaintance that masters of Soviet film art had with the works of Marx.

  • This Essay on Benjamin Strong, the First Governor of the Federal Reserve
    Benjamin Strong, the Federal Reserve, and the Limits to Interwar American Nationalism Part I: Intellectual Profile of a Central Banker Priscilla Roberts his essay on Benjamin Strong, the first governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (1914–1928), evolved from the author’s research on T the development of an American internationalist tradition during and largely in consequence of the First World War. Viewing Strong’s activities in the broader context of the world view and diplomatic preferences of the edu- cated East Coast establishment, a foreign policy elite to which Strong belonged and most of whose norms he accepted, greatly illuminates his broader moti- vations and the interwar relationship between finance and overall international diplomacy. Strong’s work for international stabilization also provides revealing insight into the limits of American internationalism during the 1920s and the degree to which, in both finance and diplomacy, the interwar years represented a transitional period between the restricted pre-1914 American world role and the far more sophisticated assumptions which would guide United States policies in the aftermath of the Second World War. Strong’s career as governor encompassed 15 years of rapid domestic and international change. The outbreak of the First World War just a few weeks This article is based on a paper presented as part of the seminar series at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The author, Priscilla Roberts, is Lecturer in History and Director of the Centre of American Studies, University of Hong Kong.
