Recollecting Lotte EisnerCinema, Exile, and the Archive\nAuthor(s): Naomi DeCelles\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University of California Press, United States\nImprint: University of California Press\nISBN-13: 9780520388130, 978-0520388130\nSynopsis\nRecollecting Lotte Eisner provides the first in-depth examination of the remarkable transnational career of film journalist, archivist, and historian Lotte Eisner [tel]. From her early years as a film critic in interwar Berlin to her escape from prison in occupied France and from her role as chief curator at the Cinmathque franaise to that as the mythic \""collective conscience\"" of New German Cinema, Eisner was a prolific writer and lecturer and a pivotal voice in early film and media studies. Situated at the juncture of feminist media historiography and disciplinary intellectual history, this groundbreaking book is based on extensive multilingual archival research and the excavation of a rich corpus of previously overlooked materials. .
