Propaganda kapitalizma in komunizma v ameriški in sovjetski kinematografiji Magistrska naloga se loteva problema prikazovanja ideoloških programov dveh največjih političnih velesil 20. stoletja. Tako Združene države Amerike (ZDA) kot Zveza sovjetskih socialističnih republik (ZSSR) so oblikovale državno podprte propagandne aparate, ki so proizvajali integracijsko in agitacijsko filmsko gradivo za legitimacijo svojih političnih interesov. Filmska industrija obeh federacij je bila od samega začetka razvoja filmskega medija zaradi pogojev produkcijske infrastrukture neposredno ali posredno odvisna od vladnih organizacij. V delu podajamo primerjalno analizo razvoja obeh političnih sistemov z vidika njunih kinematografskih dejavnosti, da bi osvetlili delovanje mehanizmov za reprodukcijo političnih ideologij v dobi množičnih medijev. Filmski medij je bil eno izmed osrednjih prizorišč glavnega političnega konflikta prejšnjega stoletja, na katerem so se prikazovali interesi ene in druge velesile. V liberalnem političnem okviru ameriškega prostega trga so tendenciozne filmske vsebine določale organizacije, kot so CIA, FBI, OWI, MPAA, HUAC in USIS, medtem ko je centralizirano sovjetsko gospodarstvo dajalo direktive prek državnih aparatov, kot so GOSPLAN, VSNKh, NARKOMPROS, SOIUSZKINO, in društev, kot sta VOKS ali SSOD. Prav tako smo ugotovili, da so v različno strukturiranih filmskih industrijah avtorji ideološko zaznamovana dela proizvajali tudi brez vladnih posredovanj. V delu bomo prikazali medsebojno odvisnost političnih filmskih vsebin ter vladnih in nevladnih, zasebnih in državnih organizacij v dveh ideoloških blokih prejšnjega stoletja. Ključne besede: film, propaganda, kapitalizem, komunizem, ZDA, ZSSR. Propaganda of capitalism and communism in Soviet and American cinematography The master’s thesis addresses the problem of broadcasting ideological programs of the two most powerful political superpowers of the 20 th century. Both the United States of America (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) had formed state-founded propaganda apparatus with the purpose of producing integration and agitation film material to legitimate their political interests. Since the beginning of the development of the media, the film industries of both federations were directly or indirectly dependent on governmental organizations because of the conditions of their production infrastructure. In this paper we are presenting a comparative analysis of the development of both political systems from the perspective of their cinematic activities in order to illuminate the workings of the mechanisms for reproducing political ideologies in the age of mass media. The film medium was one of the central venues of the main political conflict of the previous century, depicting the interests of both superpowers. In the liberal political framework of the American free market the tendentious film contents were determined by such organisations as the CIA, CPI, FBI, OWI, MPAA, HUAC and USIS, while in the centralized Soviet command economy the directives were given through the state apparatus such as GOSPLAN, VSNKh, NARKOMPROS, SOIUSZKINO and societies such as VOKS or SSOD. We have also established that ideologically marked works had been created by filmmakers even without governmental interventions. In this paper we present the interdependence of political film contents with governmental, non-governmental, private, or state organizations of the two ideological blocs of the previous century. Key words: film, propaganda, capitalism, communism, the USA, the USSR.

  • AMERICANS and SOVIETS AFTER the BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION by DAVID E. GREENSTEIN DISSERTATION Submitted in Partia
    BETWEEN TWO WORLDS: AMERICANS AND SOVIETS AFTER THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION BY DAVID E. GREENSTEIN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Kristin Hoganson, Chair Professor Diane Koenker Associate Professor Emeritus Mark Leff Associate Professor Kathryn Oberdeck Professor Frank Costigliola, University of Connecticut ii Abstract This dissertation investigates the ways that migration and the ongoing legacies of imperialism shaped the United States’ engagement with the world in the early twentieth century. It focuses on interaction between Americans and Russian Soviets during an era marked by both multidirectional migration and the increasing deployment of American power abroad. In the decade after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, Americans attempted to transform Russia through military occupation, humanitarian work, and the spread of cultural and industrial products. Between Two Worlds shows that such ventures were not unilateral extensions of American values and interests. Russian émigrés, workers, and refugees substantially affected American programs and even core questions about the United States’ role in the world and what it meant to be an American. This research also shows that rather than precursors to the cold war, American approaches to Russia were part of the history of early twentieth century imperialism. Chapters trace these interactions through a series of case studies. A chapter on economic connections engages histories of international business, labor, and migration during Ford Motor Company’s Russian operations. A study on cultural interaction examines the circulation of filmmaking techniques and sentimental narratives in the Russian and American motion picture industries.

  • Memory and Popular Film
    Memory and popular film Inside Popular Film General editors Mark Jancovich and Eric Schaefer Inside Popular Film is a forum for writers who are working to develop new ways of analysing popular film. Each book offers a critical introduction to existing debates while also exploring new approaches. In general, the books give historically in- formed accounts of popular film, which present this area as altogether more complex than is commonly suggested by established film theories. Developments over the past decade have led to a broader understanding of film, which moves beyond the traditional oppositions between high and low culture, popular and avant-garde. The analysis of film has also moved beyond a concentra- tion on the textual forms of films, to include an analysis of both the social situations within which films are consumed by audiences, and the relationship between film and other popular forms. The series therefore addresses issues such as the complex inter- textual systems that link film, literature, art and music, as well as the production and consumption of film through a variety of hybrid media, including video, cable and satellite. The authors take interdisciplinary approaches, which bring together a variety of theoretical and critical debates that have developed in film, media and cultural studies. They neither embrace nor condemn popular film, but explore specific forms and genres within the contexts of their production and consumption.
