Making Worlds: Affect and Collectivity in Contemporary European Cinema

Claudia Breger

4.9/5 (30137 ratings)

Description:The twenty-first century has witnessed a resurgence of economic inequality, racial exclusion, and political hatred, causing questions of collective identity and belonging to assume new urgency. In Making Worlds, Claudia Breger argues that contemporary European cinema provides ways of thinking about and feeling collectivity that can challenge these political trends.Breger offers nuanced readings of major contemporary films such as Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon, Alejandro Gonz�lez I��rritu's Biutiful, Fatih Akın's The Edge of Heaven, Asghar Farhadi's A Separation, and Aki Kaurism�ki's refugee trilogy, as well as works by Jean-Luc Godard and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Through a new model of cinematic worldmaking, Breger examines the ways in which these works produce unexpected and destabilizing affects that invite viewers to imagine new connections among individuals or groups. These films and their depictions of refugees, immigrants, and communities do not simply counter dominant political imaginaries of hate and fear with calls for empathy or solidarity. Instead, they produce layered sensibilities that offer the potential for greater openness to others' present, past, and future claims. Drawing on the work of Latour, Deleuze, and Ranci�re, Breger engages questions of genre and realism along with the legacies of cinematic modernism. Offering a rich account of contemporary film, Making Worlds theorizes the cinematic creation of imaginative spaces in order to find new ways of responding to political hatred.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
