Drawing the Curtain is the compelling story of Soviet and western relations during the Cold War, as told through cartoons and propaganda art. Seventy-five Soviet cartoons, many of them previously unpublished, reveal the extraordinary obsessions and ferocious propaganda campaigns of the period. The Soviet works are juxtaposed throughout with western cartoons on similar themes. Together they not only reveal one of the Cold War's most unlikely battlegrounds, but also highlight the remarkable similarities between each side's depiction of the other.With a foreword by Sergei Khrushchev, son of the Soviet leader at the heart of some of the Cold War's tensest exchanges, Drawing the Curtain contains essays by Timothy S. Benson, a leading authority on cartoons, and Polly Jones, Fellow in Russian at University College, Oxford. Igor Smirnov, one of the great Russian cartoonists of the 1970s and 80s, provides a glimpse of life as a cartoonist under the Soviet regime.Drawing the Curtain is part art book, part post-war history, with interleaving inset pages providing the historical background to events portrayed. Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, it offers a very different take on East-West relations in the second half of the twentieth century.Bron : http://www.thamesandhudson.com

Which strategies has Mel Brooks used to survive, adapt and thrive in the cultural industries? How has he gained his reputation as a multimedia survivor? Alex Symons takes a unique, artist-focused approach in order to systematically identify the range of Brooks's adaptation strategies across the Hollywood film, Broadway theatre and American television industries. By combining a cultural industries approach together with that of adaptation studies, this book also identifies an important new industrial practice employed by Brooks - defined here as 'prolonged adaptation'. More significantly, Symons also employs this method to explain the so far neglected way that Brooks's adaptations have contributed towards changing production trends, changes in critical attitudes, and towards the ongoing integration of the cultural industries today.
