New Soviet man : gender and masculinity in Stalinist Soviet cinema
John Haynes
Cinema has long been recognised as the privileged bridge between
Soviet ideologies and their mass public. Recent feminist-oriented work
has drawn out the symbolic role of women in Soviet culture, but, not
surprisingly, men too were expected to play their part. In this first
full-length study of masculinity in Stalinist Soviet cinema, John Haynes
examines the ‘New Soviet Man’ not only as an ideal of masculinity
presented to Soviet cinemagoers, but also, precisely, as a man in his
specific, and hotly debated social, cultural and political context.
A
detailed analysis of Stalinist discourse sets the stage for an
examination of the imagined relationship between the patriarch Stalin
and his ‘model sons’ in the key genre cycles of the era: from the
capital to the collective farms, and ultimately to the very borders of
the Soviet state. Informed by contemporary and present day debates over
the social and cultural significance of cinema and masculinity, New
Soviet Man draws on a range of theoretical and comparative material to
produce engaging and accessible readings accounting for both the appeal
of, and the inherent potential for subversion within, films produced by
the Stalinist culture industry.
New Soviet Man will be widely
read by students and specialists in the fields of film studies, Russian
and Soviet studies, gender and modern European history.
