James Bond's Socialist Rivals: Television Spy Heroes and Popular Culture in the Cold War East - Couverture souple
Synopsis
"Focusing on three blockbuster television series from the Soviet Union, Poland, and East Germany, James Bond's Socialist Rivals recovers an essential aspect of the history of popular culture in Europe's Cold War East. As in the West, fictitious spy characters achieved mass appeal through film. In their countries, and often beyond them as well, the protagonists of "Seventeen Moments of Spring," "Stakes Greater than Life," and "The Invisible Visor" were as prominent as super-agent icon James Bond on the other side of the iron curtain. The actors playing them were stars, and their roles as spy heroes defined their public image. For authoritarian political regimes in search of popular legitimacy, these shows offered an ideal blend merging ideological messages and suspenseful entertainment. Shaped by their cultural and political backgrounds in three societies in a heterogeneous postwar Eastern Europe, they also came to reflect different responses to the Bond phenomenon in the West"--

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In August 1973, the large and growing television audience of the Soviet Union first laid eyes on what would become its quintessential if fictitious hero spy. He was nothing liketo global fame in the 1960s. By contrast, Shtirlits made his middle-aged man on a meditative stroll in wintry woods, to the score of a very slow piano rendition of the show'swistful signature theme. The Cold War East, the Soviet Union and its sphere of domination and influence in Eastern Europe, produced a rich array of home-made intelligence heroes who became vastly popular among television audiences in the 1960s and '70s. In this work, Tarik Cyril Amar recovers and analyzes a world of spy fiction entertainment, focusing on three blockbuster series in the former Soviet bloc: Seventeen Moments of Spring (USSR), Stakes Greater Than Life (Poland), and The Invisible Visor (East Germany). Not only did these shows feature secret agents as heroes, but they were also important to party-state authorities, including security and intelligence services, who were combatting Western subversion and deliberately polishing their own image behind the Iron Curtain. The series made reference to World War II, the Holocaust, and the Cold War, shaping public interpretations of historical events and inspiring a rising generation to join intelligence services, including Vladmir Putin. And they remained persistently popular, surviving the collapse of the authoritarian-socialist political regimes under which they had been produced. Based on exhaustive research of unpublished primary sources in archives in Berlin, Moscow, and Warsaw, James Bond's Socialist Rivals offers a more expansive vision of the phenomenon of the spy as popular-culture hero and of the complex nature of Cold War interactions across ideological divisions, geopolitical blocs, and national borders.
