The name of Eisenstein is synonymous with
the idea of montage, as exemplified in his
silent classics such as The Battleship Potemkin
(1925) and October (1927). In the 1930s
Eisenstein elaborated his ideas on montage
and in this series of essays, written between
1937 and 1940, which were published in
English for the first time in this volume, he
presents the essence of his thinking on
cinema and aesthetics more generally.They
reveal him as one of the most significant
philosophers of art of the twentieth century.

BAUDRILLARD REFRAMED
A Guide for the Arts Student
Kim Toffoletti, Deakin University,Australia
Perhaps best remembered for his theories of simulation and hyperreality, along with his controversial claims about the
Gulf War, Jean Baudrillard has been a unique intellectual voice in many of the key debates and issues facing an increasingly
globalised, media-ted world. Baudrillard Reframed surveys the ideas of this influential often provocative French
thinker as they relate to todays image-saturated environment. It demonstrates how to apply his theories in analysing
contemporary visual phenomena such as advertising, photography, reality TV, fashion, art, pornography and virtual reality.
Baudrillards key themes and arguments are illustrated through a range of visual texts including the graffiti art of
Banksy, Katherine Hamnetts protest t-shirts, fashion designer Marc Jacobs advertising campaigns, Sophie Calles
photography and programs like Next Top Model. In illuminating Baudrillards contemporary relevance to the study of
images, Kim Toffoletti also assesses his contribution to visual culture scholarship more broadly.

how art both reflects and influences the wider world.
