Description de l'ouvrage:
Traces the influence of Soviet philosopher Merab Mamardashvili on a generation of Soviet and Russian filmmakers
• Shortlisted for the 2020 AATSEEL Best Book in Cultural Studies award
• The first study of Mamardashvili’s significant influence on cinema, culture and philosophy in Russia
• Offers a compelling analysis of contemporary Russian filmmakers, including Alexander Sokurov, Andrey Zvyagintsev and Alexei Balabanov
• Provides a carefully researched study of Mamardashvili’s philosophy and intellectual biography, written for scholars from all disciplines
Known as the ‘Georgian Socrates’ of Soviet philosophy, Merab Mamardashvili was a defining personality of the late-Soviet intelligentsia. In the 1970s and 1980s, he taught required courses in philosophy at Russia’s two leading film schools, helping to educate a generation of internationally prolific directors.
Exploring Mamardashvili’s extensive philosophical output, as well as a range of recent Russian films, Alyssa DeBlasio reveals the intellectual affinities amongst directors of the Mamardashvili generation – including Alexander Sokurov, Andrey Zvyagintsev and Alexei Balabanov. This multidisciplinary study offers an innovative way to think about film, philosophy and the philosophical potential of the moving image.

Revue de Presse:
The Filmmaker’s Philosopher is a highly effective text that handles complex, ever-elusive philosophical thinking with great confidence and clarity. It will undoubtedly be useful to a great variety of researchers, from Mamardashvili scholars to film-philosophers who are yet to discover his invigorating ideas.– Ilia Ryzhenko, Film-Philosophy
The Filmmaker’s Philosopher is a deep, sustained study that reads with great interest to the end. In addition to its rigorous philosophical explorations and insightful new readings of particular films, DeBlasio crafts a vivid portrait of Mamardashvili himself, with his sartorial elegance, the smoky lecture halls of late socialism, and the exhilaration of free thought. The book is a must-read for Russian film studies, but will also greatly interest students and specialists of late Soviet culture and philosophy.– Justin Wilmes, East Carolina University, Slavic Review Vol. 79, Issue 4

DeBlasio’s book has the merit of introducing Merab Mamardashvili to scholars who do not read Russian and it does so from an interesting angle. [...] two hundred pages of pleasant and clear narrative [...]– Elisa Pontini, Radboud University, Studies in East European Thought (2020) 72
[A] fascinating and original book [...] DeBlasio is a reliable guide to both the cinema and the philosophy.– Anthony Anemone, The New School, The Russian Review, Vol. 80, No. 2
We have been missing this book. Merab Mamardashvili was force of freedom in the Soviet academy, not for what he said, but how. His life spanned the cold-war divide, influencing an entire generation of filmmakers and intellectuals. He showed the crowds in his lecture halls that thinking out loud can itself be a political act. DeBlasio's book moves back and forth between the man and the films he inspired, providing a fresh understanding of his times.– Professor Susan Buck-Morss, CUNY Graduate Center
