Arresting biographies : the personal file in the Soviet Union and Romania -- The master and Margarita : the devil's secret police file -- Early Soviet cinema's shots at policing -- Secret police shots at filmmaking : the gulag and cinema -- Literary theory and the secret police : writing and estranging the self.
Summary
"The documents emerging from the secret police archives of the former Soviet bloc have caused scandal after scandal, compromising revered cultural figures and abruptly ending political careers. Police Aesthetics offers a revealing and responsible approach to such materials. Taking advantage of the partial opening of the secret police archives in Russia and Romania, Vatulescu focuses on their most infamous holdings--the personal files--as well as on movies the police sponsored, scripted, or authored."--Page 4 of cover.
