From its earliest representation in silent films such as Walsh's \u003ci\u003eRegeneration\u003c\/i\u003e (1915), and Eisenstein's \u003ci\u003eStachka\u003c\/i\u003e\/\u003ci\u003eStrike\u003c\/i\u003e (1925), to recent productions such as Chukwu's \u003ci\u003eClemency\u003c\/i\u003e (2019), and Aronofsky's \u003ci\u003eThe Whale\u003c\/i\u003e (2022), the naturalist film narrative encompasses the whole of film history, traversing language, movement, and genre. The naturalist film is predicated on two foundational, intersecting paradigms that configure as one ideological system in an overarching scientific and social experimental narrative. Either the scientific or social paradigm may be dominant in the film narrative or they may simply co-exist, but a naturalist film reveals both templates and, most significantly, suggests an implicit cinematic anthropology that renders the body as an observed spectacle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Singer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474426344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474426343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.59d","brand":"Robert Singer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458590683391,"sku":"9781474426343","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5441cf43-216e-4946-987e-7c2aab7c1bf3.jpg?v=1777405369","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-realism-robert-singer-9781474426343","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
