From expressive movement to pathos: Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein's theory of montage

The module, part of Prof. Laura Piccolo's course, aims at providing an overview of the types of the eisenstenian montage. The lectures will trace the different definitions of montage elaborated by Eisenstein, between an experimentation carried throughout the directorial practice, and a theoretical reflection characterized by the search for a "universal" and, at the same time, protean methodological criterion.
The starting point will be the analysis of theories on cinema developed by the Formal school during the Twenties, to which Eisenstein, although strongly influenced by them, relates in an original way.
