{"product_id":"visconti-alexander-garca-dttmann-9780804757409","title":"Visconti: Insights Into Flesh and Blood","description":"\u003cp\u003eSomething needs to be changed-be it through the revolutionary overthrow of social conditions, the liberating force of passion, the contemplation and creation of works of art, or the exploration of an unresolved past. Luchino Visconti's films are models for the failure of such attempts. They show that this failure arises whenever people cling to possibilities that stand opposed to the reality of their lives. Does Adorno not write: \"The place of utopia is blocked off by possibility, never by immediate reality\"? \u003ci\u003eVisconti: Insights into Flesh and Blood\u003c\/i\u003e draws on aesthetics, film theory, and practical philosophy to propose an original interpretation of the melodramas of a great European director. In the encounter with Visconti's art, we come to see that something has changed already.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Garc僘 D?tmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804757402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804757409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.80w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/12\/2008 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 257","brand":"Alexander Garc僘 D?tmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926226338047,"sku":"9780804757409","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_047fe15a-218d-43c0-8821-663f3d8ae647.jpg?v=1681081899","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visconti-alexander-garca-dttmann-9780804757409","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
