S. M. Eisenstein is a soviet filmmaker and a cinema theorist. Starting from 1923, he elaborated theories about montage, regarding how montage of attractions, intellectual montage, vertical montage produce changes in the spectator. But after the late 30s, he pointed out others aspects of montage. Using concepts such as ’organicity’, ’pathos’, ’extasy’ and distinguishing an ’image’ (’obraz’) from a ’representation’, he revealed the structure of the movie that make the pathos figurable. Georges Didi-Huberman considers Eisenstein’s montage as a double running of ’dis-montage’ and of ’re-montage’. In this double operation, pathos, a destructive agent, contributes finally to produce the organicity of a work. Roland Barthes analysed still shots in Eisenstein’s movies and considered the pathos as the means of creating an ’obvious meaning’. Didi-Huberman criticizes Barthes’s ’simplistic’ point of view on pathos and proposes the montage as thought for the figuration of the pathos.
