The dynamics of this shift are particularly evident in the works of many displaced filmmakers, which often manifest a conflicted interaction between language and vision, and through this question the signifying potential, and the perceptual ambiguities, of cinema itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn tracing the encounter between cinema and language loss across a wide range of films - from Billy Wilder's \u003cem\u003eSunset Boulevard\u003c\/em\u003e to Chantal Akerman's \u003cem\u003eNews from Home \u003c\/em\u003eto Michael Haneke's \u003cem\u003eCaché\u003c\/em\u003e - Mamula reevaluates the role of displacement in postwar Western film and makes an original contribution to film theory and philosophy based on a reconsideration of the place of language in our experience and understanding of cinema. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tijana Mamula\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415807182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415807180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Tijana Mamula","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064960364799,"sku":"9780415807180","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d83ac0c7-930a-45b1-812b-9872edfb5f3f.jpg?v=1768672198","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cinema-and-language-loss-tijana-mamula-9780415807180","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
