A key architect of the New German Cinema and a pioneer of auteur television programming, he has also cowritten three acclaimed volumes of critical theory, published countless essays and numerous works of fiction, and continues to make films even as he expands his video production to the internet. Despite Kluge's five decades of work in philosophy, literature, television, and media politics, his reputation outside of the German-speaking world still largely rests on his films of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the aim of introducing Kluge's heterogeneous mind to an Anglophone readership, \u003ci\u003eDifference and Orientation\u003c\/i\u003e assembles thirty of his essays, speeches, glossaries, and interviews, revolving around the capacity for differentiation and the need for orientation toward ways out of catastrophic modernity. This landmark volume brings together some of Kluge's most fundamental statements on literature, film, pre- and post-cinematic media, and social theory, nearly all for the first time in English translation. Together, these works highlight Kluge's career-spanning commitment to unorthodox, essayistic thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Kluge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501739212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501739217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press and Cornell Universi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.23d","brand":"Alexander Kluge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979218419967,"sku":"9781501739217","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52286848-635d-40ce-b71d-e6ac861046f9.jpg?v=1683244513","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/difference-and-orientation-alexander-kluge-9781501739217","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
