Cinema, Memory, Modernity: The Representation of Memory from the Art Film to Transnational Cinema: Routledge Advances in Film Studies, cartea 6

Autor Russell Kilbourn
en Limba Engleză Hardback – mai 2010
Since its inception, cinema has evolved into not merely a ‘reflection’ but an indispensable index of human experience ߝ especially our experience of time’s passage, of the present moment, and, most importantly perhaps, of the past, in both collective and individual terms. In this volume, Kilbourn provides a comparative theorization of the representation of memory in both mainstream Hollywood and international art cinema within an increasingly transnational context of production and reception. Focusing on European, North and South American, and Asian films, Kilbourn reads cinema as providing the viewer with not only the content and form of memory, but also with its own directions for use: the required codes and conventions for understanding and implementing this crucial prosthetic technology — an art of memory for the twentieth-century and beyond.

Recenzii

"Cinema, Memory Modernity: The Representation of Memory from the Art Film to Transnational Cinema is a detailed, insightful and, at times, brilliantly perceptive view of this difficult and expansive subject. Kilbourn's choices are certainly representative of memory in post-World War II cinema.[...] Kilbourn's analysis of memory in the cinema, an ongoing theoretical debate often full of incompatibilities and abstractions, is lucidly argued in relation to the ideas of the theorists with whom he either agrees or disagrees. This book provides an engaging read for those who are interested in this aspect of cinema, but will also appeal to scholars of modernity and philosophy at the same time". --Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media
 
In his book Kilbourn "offers a subtle and fascinating account of the cinematic representation of the problem of memory." --Mark Furstenau, University of Toronto Quarterly
