La Caze's case studies cross genres, historical eras, and national contexts: the apartheid regime in South Africa, in \u003ci\u003eA Dry White Season\u003c\/i\u003e; post-Suharto Indonesia, in \u003ci\u003eThe Look of Silence\u003c\/i\u003e; 1980s East Germany, in \u003ci\u003eBarbara\u003c\/i\u003e; the Chilean military dictatorship, in \u003ci\u003eNo\u003c\/i\u003e; contemporary Iran, in \u003ci\u003eA Separation\u003c\/i\u003e; and current-day Saudi Arabia, in \u003ci\u003eWadjda\u003c\/i\u003e. This book explores the films' use of image, sound, narrative, and character in dialogue with the work of Simone de Beauvoir, Aim? Cesaire, Hannah Arendt, Sara Ahmed, and W. E. B. Du Bois to reveal how cinema depicts ordinary people enacting their own philosophies of defiance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marguerite La Caze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810147459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810147454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Marguerite La Caze","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46070452912383,"sku":"9780810147454","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73cb9f6b-931a-43c3-aca3-9035abb2fb09.jpg?v=1724243309","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/film-and-everyday-resistance-marguerite-la-caze-9780810147454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
