Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors

During the last decade, contemporary German and Austrian cinema has grappled with new social and economic realities. The “cinema of consensus,” a term coined to describe the popular and commercially oriented filmmaking of the 1990s, has given way to a more heterogeneous and critical cinema culture. Making the greatest artistic impact since the 1970s, contemporary cinema is responding to questions of globalization and the effects of societal and economic change on the individual. 	 	This book explores this trend by investigating different thematic and aesthetic strategies and alternative methods of film production and distribution. Functioning both as a product and as an agent of globalizing processes, this new cinema mediates and influences important political and social debates. The contributors illuminate these processes through their analyses of cinema’s intervention in discourses on such concepts as “national cinema,” the effects of globalization on social mobility, and the emergence of a “global culture.” The essays illustrate the variety and inventiveness of contemporary Austrian and German filmmaking and highlight the complicated interdependencies between global developments and local specificities. They confirm a broader trend toward a more complex, critical, and formally diverse cinematic scene. 	 	This book offers insights into the strategies employed by German and Austrian filmmakers to position themselves between the commercial pressures of the film industry and the desire to mediate or even attempt to affect social change. It will be of interest to scholars in film studies, cultural studies, and European studies.

"Beugnet's ingenious insights seep like a fog into once-crisp categories of film analysis, unsettling notions of blur as visual deficiency. Near-sighted characters, formless smudges, teary and weary vision, and perspectival and atmospheric distortions energize this compelling love song to the affordances of and cinematic predisposition toward visual chaos, vagueness, uncertainty and confusion. Clearly, it's the perfect moment for both cinema and blur."--Karen Redrobe, author of Crash: Cinema and the Politics of Speed and Stasis In cinema, blurriness is usually intended to go unnoticed. When it appears it is either considered an error -- a mistake of focus or a technological failure -- or a background effect of shallow focus intended to offset a defined image. As Martine Beugnet argues, however, blur is an essential feature of the cinema, possessing its own properties and affordances, and capable of powerful effects. Examining an array of notable examples of blurriness from horror to art cinema and experimental film, and including the works of the Lumière brothers, Josef von Sternberg, Agnès Varda and many others, she develops a taxonomy of blurs, from speed and motion blur to the hand-held, "shaky camera" blur common in contemporary digital cinema. These wide-ranging instances all return the viewer to the sensorial and material qualities of the moving image. In the face of technological developments that valorize sharpness as an indicator of progress, blur stands as a provocative reminder of the value of uncertainty--a sign of the irreducible mystery at the heart of the filmic image. Martine Beugnet is Professor in Visual Studies at the Université Paris Cité and a member of ECHELLES, a CNRS research institute.

The Documentary Filmmaking Master Class (Second Edition)

Gegenwärtig erleben wir eine zunehmende gesellschaftliche Diversifizierung und zugleich einen rechtskonservativen Backlash gegen diese Tendenz. In dieser paradoxen Situation gleichzeitiger Fort- und Rückschritte ist eine wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit Differenz enorm wichtig. Diese kann sich auf Kategorien wie Geschlecht, Klasse, 
 race
 , Alter oder Mensch/Tier beziehen; Differenzierungen finden sich aber auch in Film und Medien, wenn es um Gegensätze wie hell/dunkel oder Close Up/Totale geht. All diese und weitere Dimensionen von Differenz nimmt der Band als komplexe Gebilde kritisch in den Blick und bezieht sie (neu) aufeinander.
 Im Mittelpunkt der Beiträge stehen spezifische mediale, materielle und soziale Konstellationen, in denen Differenzen ausgehandelt werden. Diese versammeln dabei ein breites Themenspektrum, etwa verschiedene künstlerische Verfahren, die Darstellung von Migration und jüdischer Differenzerfahrung im Film, auf Sport bezogene Unterscheidungen, politische Verhältnisse in Kolumbien oder queere und diasporische Perspektiven. Im Weiterdenken intersektionaler Forschungen, die vor allem soziale Differenzen produktiv in Beziehung setzen, kommt den Bildausschnitten, Montagen, Dispositiven, Sounds etc. besondere Aufmerksamkeit zu.
 Die Wendung "differences that matter", mit der u.a. Donna Haraway, Sara Ahmed und Karen Barad argumentieren, gibt einen zentralen Impuls für den Band. 'Unterschiede von materieller Bedeutung' beziehen sich auf entsprechende Forderungen nach Ausdifferenzierung durch kapitalismus- und rassismuskritische Feministinnen of Color bereits seit dem 19. Jahrhundert. Gleichzeitig klingt in 
 Matters of Difference
 die unterschiedliche Wertigkeit der Kategorisierungen selbst an: In einer konkreten Figuration sind bestimmte Differenzen von größerem Gewicht als andere, und auch diese Unterscheidung ist sowohl hergestellt als auch mit materiellen und politischen Implikationen verbunden. Inwiefern kann die Orientierung an komplexen Differenzbeziehungen politisch produktiv sein und welche Rolle spielen dabei filmische, mediale und diskursive Dimensionen?
 Matters of Difference
 bildet den Auftakt der neuen Reihe 
 Figurationen - Filmische und mediale Verflechtungen von Differenz
 , die sich mit Fragen, Prozessen und Wahrnehmungen von Differenzverhältnissen befasst.
 Mit Beiträgen von
 Svea Bräunert, Angelica Fenner, Natascha Frankenberg, Karin Harrasser, Bettina Henzler, Till Kadritzke, Katrin Köppert, Gwendolin Lehnerer, Vera Mader, Winfried Pauleit, Drehli Robnik, Julia Schumacher / Lea Wohl von Haselberg, Markus Stauff und Susann Winsel.

Matters of Difference

Screen Space Reconfigured is the first edited volume that critically and theoretically examines the many novel renderings of space brought to us by 21st century screens. Exploring key cases such as post-perspectival space, 3D, vertical framing, haptics, and layering, this volume takes stock of emerging forms of screen space and spatialities as they move from the margins to the centre of contemporary media practice. Recent years have seen a marked scholarly interest in spatial dimensions and conceptions of moving image culture, with some theorists claiming that a 'spatial turn' has taken place in media studies and screen practices alike. Yet this is the first book-length study dedicated to on-screen spatiality as such. Spanning mainstream cinema, experimental film, video art, mobile screens, and stadium entertainment, the volume includes contributions from such acclaimed authors as Giuliana Bruno and Tom Gunning as well as a younger generation of scholars.

Screen Space Reconfigured

Global awareness of autism has skyrocketed since the 1980s, and popular culture has caught on, with film and television producers developing ever more material featuring autistic characters. Autism in Film and Television brings together more than a dozen essays on depictions of autism, exploring how autistic characters are signified in media and how the reception of these characters informs societal understandings of autism. Editors Murray Pomerance and R. Barton Palmer have assembled a pioneering examination of autism's portrayal in film and television. Contributors consider the various means by which autism has been expressed in films such as Phantom Thread,&nbsp;Mercury Rising, and Life Animated and in television and streaming programs including Atypical, The Bridge, Stranger Things, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Community. Across media, the figure of the brilliant, accomplished, and "quirky" autist has proven especially appealing. Film and television have thus staked out a progressive position on neurodiversity by insisting on screen time for autism but have done so while frequently ignoring the true diversity of autistic experience. As a result, this volume is a welcome celebration of nonjudgmental approaches to disability, albeit one that is still freighted with stereotypes and elisions.
