{"product_id":"after-authority-kalling-heck-9781978806986","title":"After Authority: Global Art Cinema and Political Transition","description":"\u003ci\u003eAfter Authority\u003c\/i\u003e explores the tendency in art cinema to respond to political transition by turning to ambiguity, a system that ideally stems the reemergence of authoritarian logics in art and elsewhere. By comparing films from Italy, Hungary, South Korea, and the United States, this book contends that the aesthetic tradition of ambiguity in art cinema can be traced to post-authoritarian conditions and that it is in the context of a transition away from authoritarianism where art cinema aesthetics become legible. Art cinema, then, can be seen as a mode of cinematic practice that is at its core political, as its constitutive ambiguity finds its roots in the rejection of centralized and hierarchical configurations of authority. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eAfter Authority\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a history of art cinema predicated on the potentials, possibilities, and politics of ambiguity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kalling Heck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978806981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978806986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021","brand":"Kalling Heck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448028246271,"sku":"9781978806986","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b802e3a8-e689-4475-ae84-11dd6513e2a1.jpg?v=1777236411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-authority-kalling-heck-9781978806986","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
