Conference themes:  

In recent decades, much attention has been paid to theories revolving around the body, the senses, and affect in cultural studies in general, and film studies in particular. After what Brian Massumi has referred to as the ‘waning of grand narratives’, and the loss of confidence in previously established categories of inquiry, there has been a growing feeling in media and film theory that the body and the senses are central to an understanding of our culture. Ideas around the body, affect and sensation do not, however, provide theorists with a new stability; rather, these aspects are configured as fluctuating entities and unfinished projects.

While much research has been conducted within film studies into the representation of the body in Western European cinema, much less attention has been paid to bodies, affects and sensations in Eastern European and Russian film. Eastern European and Russian cinema provides exceptionally fertile ground for research into the body, due to its preoccupation with topics such as war trauma, the Holocaust, migration, exploitation, sex work, rape, abortion, memory, as well as the ideal Soviet bodies propagated under the regions’ Communist regimes and the dissident bodies and affects that challenged them. The purpose of this conference is to showcase and exchange views on the role of body, the senses and affect in Eastern European and Russian cinema, both in its specificity and in its similarity to the types of bodies and affects found in other international film cultures.
