Kino-Eye: The Writings of Dziga Vertov (1984)
Filed under book | Tags: · cinema, film, film theory, montage, screen, soviet union
Dziga Vertov was one of the greatest innovators of Soviet cinema. The radical complexity of his work—in both sound and silent forms—has given it a central place within contemporary theoretical inquiry. Vertov’s writings, collected here, range from calculated manifestos setting forth his heroic vision of film’s potential to dark ruminations on the inactivity forced upon him by the bureaucratization of the Soviet state.

Comment (1)Theodor W. Adorno: Negative Dialectics (1966-) [DE, EN, PT]
Filed under book | Tags: · dialectic, epistemology, Frankfurt school, identity, metaphysics, negative dialectics, ontology, phenomenology, philosophy, philosophy of history, sociology
“Theodor Adorno was one of the great intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Negative Dialectics is his major and culminating work. In it he attempts to free critical thought from the blinding orthodoxies of late capitalism, and earlier ages too. The book is essential reading for students of Adorno. It is also a vital weapon for making sense of modern times.”
