Abstract

In this paper the role of "ideology" in the Russian Avant-Garde is examined in its historical development. Within this period two phases can be distinguished, running parallel to socio-political events. The author demonstrates the difference between the two by contrasting two key texts, Shklovskii's 'Art as Device' and its central concept of "ostranenie", and Eisenstein's discussion of the principle of "montage of attractions".
