The Ethic of the Image<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catherine Wheatley<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWheatley provides excellent close readings of a number of films and crucial film scenes. The book as a whole could be used in conjunction with a film course on Haneke, or its various chapters would lend themselves to discussions in graduate and even undergraduate courses on contemporary European film\u2026The writing style is clear and while it pursues a critical theoretical analysis, it remains free from jargon.\u00a0<\/em>\u201c\u00a0 \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Monatshefte<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Political Aesthetics of Contemporary German and Austrian Cinema<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leila Mukhida<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through illuminating explorations of Michael Haneke, Valeska Grisebach, Andreas Dresen, and other filmmakers of the post-reunification era, Mukhida develops an analysis centered on film aesthetics and experience, showing how medium-specific devices like lighting, sound, and mise-en-sc\u00e8ne can help to cultivate political sensitivity in spectators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Existentialism and Contemporary Cinema<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Beauvoirian Perspective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edited by Jean-Pierre Boul\u00e9 and Ursula Tidd<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is an attempt to redress this balance and reopen the dialogue between Beauvoir\u2019s writings and film studies. The authors analyse a range of films, from directors including Claire Denis, Michael Haneke, Lucille Hadzihalilovic, Sam Mendes, and Sally Potter, by drawing from Beauvoir\u2019s key works such as\u00a0The Second Sex\u00a0<\/em>(1949),\u00a0The Ethics of Ambiguity\u00a0<\/em>(1947) and\u00a0Old Age\u00a0<\/em>(1970).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Austrian Film<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edited by Robert von Dassanowsky and Oliver C. Speck<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of a film culture originally starved of funds have emerged rich and eclectic works by film-makers that are now achieving the international recognition that they deserve: Barbara Albert, Michael Haneke, Ulrich Seidl, and Stefan Ruzowitzky, to give four examples. This comprehensive critical anthology, by leading scholars of Austrian film, is intended to introduce and make accessible this much under-represented phenomenon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Existentialism and Contemporary Cinema<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Sartrean Perspective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edited by Jean-Pierre Boul\u00e9 and Enda MacCaffrey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of this volume is the assertion that Sartrean existentialism, most prominent in the 1940s, particularly in France, is still relevant as a way of interpreting the world today. […] In a scholarly yet accessible style, the contributors exploit the rich interplay between Sartre\u2019s philosophy, plays and novels, and a number of contemporary films including\u00a0No Country for Old Men<\/em>,\u00a0Lost in Translation<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Truman Show<\/em>, with film-makers including the Dardenne brothers, Michael Haneke, and Mike Leigh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn extraordinary work,<\/em>\u00a0in Postwar Austrian Cinema\u00a0adds to its lucid presentation of the social and aesthetic dynamics of Austrian national cinema after 1945 a welcome number of superb readings of better and lesser-known \ufb01lms.

“This is a series which, in a very short period of time, has had a huge impact on the field.”<\/em>  \u00b7  Monatshefte<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

German cinema is normally seen as a distinct form, but this series emphasizes connections, influences, and exchanges of German cinema across national borders, as well as its links with other media and art forms. Individual titles present traditional historical research (archival work, industry studies) as well as new critical approaches in film and media studies (theories of the transnational), with a special emphasis on the continuities associated with popular traditions and local perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browse Visual And Media Cultures Of The Cold War And Beyond<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Published by Berghahn Books and the DEFA Film Library at the University of Massachusetts Amherst<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This interdisciplinary series focuses on a range of visual and media cultures in and beyond the Cold War period (1945-1991) in both social and transnational contexts. It explores ways in which film and other media, their creators and audiences, and industries and states participated in, were shaped by and, in turn, shaped cultural relations during the Cold War. Beyond 1991, this series also welcomes interdisciplinary explorations of the legacies of the Cold War and its ongoing cultural impact in a global context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
