Cinema Scope’s Chinese Journey: the technological modernisation and the logistics of perception of the cold war / Kang, Ling   Journal Article
Kang, Ling Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article argues that the advent of the technological system of CinemaScope in socialist China should be understood as a historical product of the specific material, cultural, and political conditions and configuration of the Cold War. On the one hand, it is the cultural network of the communist bloc that enabled China to obtain this new technology of media infrastructure. On the other hand, the social discourse of CinemaScope embodies the Manichaean Cold War narrative that worked to justify the political-ideological supremacy of communism by articulating a technological modernisation superior to the capitalist model. What is more, CinemaScope also bespeaks the logistics of perception that effectively turns people’s perceptual experience into a political battlefield of the Cold War.

Technological modernisation in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia: practices and continuities / Autio-Sarasmo, Sari   Article
Autio-Sarasmo, Sari Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Focusing on the Soviet system of scientific and technical cooperation, the study analyses the structures and agency created on the basis of scientific–technical cooperation during the Cold War. The essay introduces a model of the process of East–West interaction based on agency created through scientific and technical cooperation. By encompassing a long temporal trajectory, the essay suggests that it is possible to recognise similar practices and continuities in the modernisation project in contemporary Russia.
