{"product_id":"troubled-everyday-alison-taylor-9781474415224","title":"Troubled Everyday: The Aesthetics of Violence and the Everyday in European Art Cinema","description":"Extreme violence in contemporary European art cinema is generally interpreted for its affective potential, but what about the significance of the everyday that so often frames and forms the majority of these films? Why do the sudden moments of violence that punctuate films like Catherine Breillat's \u003ci\u003eFat Girl\u003c\/i\u003e (2001), Gaspar Noé's \u003ci\u003eIrreversible\u003c\/i\u003e (2002) and Markus Schleinzer's \u003ci\u003eMichael\u003c\/i\u003e (2011) seem so reliant on everyday routines and settings for their impact? Addressing these questions through a series of case-studies, and considering notorious films in their historical and philosophical context, \u003ci\u003eTroubled Everyday\u003c\/i\u003e offers the first detailed examination of the relationship between violence and the everyday in European art cinema. It calls for a re-evaluation of what gives these films such affective force, and such a prolonged grip on our imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474415229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474415224\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 05\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Alison Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088348852479,"sku":"9781474415224","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_912f7bb1-6ec8-4488-8b4e-43ca1b34c115.jpg?v=1769104354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/troubled-everyday-alison-taylor-9781474415224","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
