Adopting an intersubjective perspective on film studies, the author maintains that the dialectical poles of subject and object, seeing and being seen no longer seem to be valid. We are now surrounded by images that look back at us provocatively, seductively, indifferently; and not only in movies, but also in art, television, the city, in chance encounters, and in our private relationships.\u003cbr\u003e Taking her cue from Jean-Paul Sartre, the author shows how emotions exemplify the way in which we are 'forced' to see ourselves through the eyes of others, unable to escape an identity that is imposed upon us from the outside but nevertheless resides 'in the flesh' - in the affective operations of the body and the senses. To illustrate her account of the intersubjective dynamics and affective bonds of cinema, the author explores the contemporary aesthetic investment in the emotional in the work of filmmakers such as Lars von Trier, Michael Haneke and Eija-Liisa Ahtila.\u003cbr\u003e This book proposes an insight into the ways in which we are engaged with visual displays and the look with which they respond to our looking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laine-T\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9052010625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789052010625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Laine-T","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066410283263,"sku":"9789052010625","price":60.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab91079c-3b61-45d6-92ee-8d1b8ec2ec60.jpg?v=1768678332","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shame-and-desire-laine-t-9789052010625","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
