- Summary:
- Eisenstein?s adaptation of Karl Marx?s 'Capital' (1927?1928) is a phantom in a double sense: although never realized, it has nonetheless haunted the imagination of many filmmakers, historians, and writers to the present day, most recently with Alexander Kluge?s 'News from Ideological Antiquity: Marx - Eisenstein - Capital'. Furthermore, its first public?materialization? - a ten-page fragment of the director?s work diaries - was marked by what remained absent: Eisenstein?s images and working materials.0'Dance of Values' aims to conjure the phantom of 'Capital' once again - only this time on the basis of the full scope of 'Capital?s' archival body. This?visual instruction in the dialectical method,? as Eisenstein himself called it, comprises over 500 pages of notes, drawings, press clippings, expression diagrams, plans for articles, negatives from October, theoretical reflections and extensive quotations. 'Dance of Values' explores the internal formal necessity underlying Eisenstein?s choices in 'Capital', arguing that its visual complexity as well as its epistemic efficacy reside precisely within thestate of its material: the dance of heterogeneous themes and disparate fragments, a non-linear, provisory, and non-articulated flow.0.
