Description

Explore a deep theoretical investigation into the relationship between film and political thought. Towards a Political Aesthetics of Cinema: The Outside of Film offers a unique contribution to cinema aesthetics by grounding its analysis in Marxist theory. Instead of looking at how specific films impact political consciousness, this work examines the fundamental question of how the subject of politics can be thought within the medium of film. This book moves away from traditional historical approaches, opting for a systematic-theoretical method to explore cinematic structures. A central focus of the text is the retrospective rehabilitation of the psychoanalytical concept of "suture." Through this lens, the author reveals the political core of the concept, providing new insights for students and scholars of film culture and theory. This title is an essential addition to the Film Culture in Transition series for those interested in the intersection of psychoanalysis, Marxism, and visual media.
