Cinema, Nation, and Empire in Uzbekistan, 1919-1937 by Publication Date: 2018Online Resource
In "Cinema, Nation, and Empire in Uzbekistan" Cloé Drieu uses Uzbek films as a lens to explore the creation of the Soviet State in Central Asia, starting from the collapse of the Russian Empire up through the eve of WWII. By exploring all of film's dimensions as a sociopolitical phenomenon ― including film production, film reception, and filmic discourse ― Drieu reveals how nation and empire were built up as institutional realities and as imaginary constructs.
