Since his beginnings in the lively amateur film scene of Yugoslavia in the 1960s, Zilnik has made more than fifty films, often in the genre of docudrama. Many of Zilnik's films have anticipated real-world events--the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the economic transition from socialism to a neoliberal order, the annihilation of workers' rights, and wider social erosion related to labor and migration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe title, \u003ci\u003eShadow Citizens\u003c\/i\u003e, reflects Zilnik's lifelong focus on invisible, suppressed, and under- and misrepresented members of society. As a concept, \"shadow citizens\" is related to \"amateur politics\" as a form of political engagement--the imaginative and subversive non-normative knowledge and alternative sensibilities that lie dormant but occasionally push back against politics as usual. Courageous amateurism is prominent in Zilnik's films, both as a concept and as a method, and the texts in this book elaborate on the potential of shadow citizens and the pressures of the amateur undercurrent in emancipatory politics and artistic production. The notion of shadow citizens, conceived as different minorities that are increasingly becoming majorities everywhere, runs through Zilnik's oeuvre, where it is used to imagine a new concept of citizenship that pushes current limits and borders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBoris Buden, Greg de Cuir Jr, Ana Janevski, Dijana Jelača, Edit Moln疵, Bert Rebhandl, Marcel Schwierin, WHW, Zelimir Zilnik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e What How \u0026amp; for Whom\/Whw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3956795202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783956795206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sternberg Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.70w x 1.20d","brand":"What How \u0026 for Whom\/Whw","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989057995007,"sku":"9783956795206","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03048583-be19-4e0f-9c7c-2aeb9471d36b.jpg?v=1683297556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zelimir-zilnik-what-how-for-whomwhw-9783956795206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
