A study of Soviet factography, an avant-garde movement that employed
photography, film, journalism, and mass media technologies.
This is the first major English-language study of factography, an avant-garde
movement of 1920s modernism. Devin Fore charts this style through the work of its
key figures, illuminating factography’s position in the material culture of the early
Soviet period and situating it as a precursor to the genre of documentary that arose in
the 1930s. Factographers employed photography and film practices in their campaign
to inscribe facts and to chronicle modernization as it transformed human experience
and society. Fore considers factography in light of the period’s explosion of new media
technologies—including radio broadcasting, sound in film, and photo-media
innovations—that allowed the press to transform culture on a massive scale.
This theoretically driven study uses material from Moscow archives and little-known
sources to highlight factography as distinct from documentary and Socialist Realism
and to establish it as one of the major twentieth-century avant-garde forms. Fore
covers works of photography, film, literature, and journalism together in his
considerations of Soviet culture, the interwar avant-gardes, aesthetics, and the theory
of documentary.
