Awards Modern Language Association (MLA) Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Studies in Slavic Languages and Literatures (2011) Award citation: “Condee brilliantly accomplishes two pressing goals at once. The book is an insightful guide to six major post-Soviet filmmakers whose work it explores aesthetically as a function of cinematic style and cultural ideology and historically as an imaginative response to the decay and collapse of the Soviet Union and to the turbulent post-Soviet aftermath. If the debate on Russia’s imperial and national identities has been dominated by historians and social scientists, then The Imperial Trace insists on the pertinence of cultural production even as it engages in a dialogue across disciplines. Condee succeeds in her goal, not by dissolving each filmmaker into his or her context, but by exploring the more oblique tricks of the imaginative trade by which a work of art ponders, disavows, or transfigures its own time.” Annual research prize from the Society for Cinema and Media Studies (Katherine Singer Kovács Book Award 2010): Award citation: “Our selection for the K.S. Kovacs Book Award was Nancy Condee’s The Imperial Trace: Recent Russian Cinema (Oxford, 2009).  Condee’s book is an intellectually serious and erudite study of Russian cinema that intervenes squarely and decisively into one of the debates around which our field is centered:  the role of media in national culture and the question of understanding cinemas as national in character.  In proposing Russian cinema (taken through the tsarist, Soviet, and post-Soviet eras) as “imperial,” Condee notices what she calls a “radical disjunction” between Benedict Anderson’s model of nation with its horizontal comradeship of “imagined community” and, by contrast, the vertical, state-centered, but also spatially vast and fragmented territories of the Russian empire. What Condee does with this distinction is dazzling.  In prose that is as beautiful as it is careful, she sets out to perform readings of Russia’s imperial cinema, not on the level of content (although sometimes it’s surely there) but of form, what she calls the “imperial trace.”  The material circumstances of cinematic production become central to articulating the elements that contribute formally to this haunting or trace, sometimes belonging to mise-en-scene (lighting in Tarkovsky) or to broader visual treatments of collectivity and belonging.  This is passionate cinema/media study, informed, acute, and capable of transforming our field.” One of eight recommended books on Russo-Soviet cinema in Martha P.
