Title
"The Sequence of Motion and Fact": Cubist Collage and Filmic Montage in Death in the Afternoon
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Analyzes the relationship between Hemingway’s work and the montage, focusing on the connections between Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein’s theories on omission and juxtaposition and Hemingway’s characteristic iceberg style. Argues that Hemingway reshaped time by collapsing the past and present, and thus created a history that cannot be erased by death. Draws largely on the Old lady portions of chapters seven and twenty.
