It considers moments in which the films of Agnès Varda, Chris Marker and Alain Resnais and theories of intersubjectivity, gender and mortality in contemporaneous works by Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Emmanuel Levinas and Maurice Merleau-Ponty coalesce around this ethical epicentre, the equality enacted by death on every mortal. Challenging hierarchical divisions between subjects constructed around geo-political, gendered or spectatorial difference, it establishes a paradigm in which intersubjective interactions, especially through the gaze, are instead ethical and egalitarian. Haunting the Left Bank identifies and explores the presence of mortality in these directors’ cinematic images, revealing how they indicate ways of connecting with other subjects and speaking to a recognition of equality and difference.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 458gAuthor: Kierran HornerGenre: Films & TVBook Series: New Studies in European CinemaContributor: Fiona Handyside (Series edited by), Danielle Hipkins (Series edited by), Mariana Liz (Series edited by), Catherine Wheatley (Series edited by)Release Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
