Description

This is the first book-length study to specifically examine Czech animated cinema, stretching from the immediate post-war works of Jirí Trnka and Hermína Týrlová, through Jan vankmajer's internationally recognised stop-motion projects, to contemporary animations by the likes of Michaela Pavlátová and Jan Balej. The book's central argument is that the political messages of these films are communicated primarily through on-screen objects and things, rather than through dialogue or narration. This ties into the theme of allegory as a form that can circumvent censorship, allowing artists to surreptitiously make critiques of a regime without persecution. The book develops and implements a materialist methodology usable within Film and Media Studies, integrating several of the assumptions and methods of Bill Brown's Thing Theory, Bruno Latour's Actor-Network-Theory, and Henri Lefebvre's Rhythmanalysis. In short, it is object-focused with close analysis given to individual scenes and the rhythms of editing patterns. Although concepts from psychoanalysis and debates on national cinema would be discussed, it is intended as a work of 'film theory', not 'Film Theory' with a capital 'T' as per David Bordwell's distinction.
