    Of War, Photopolitics, and Dead Memory

    by Allen Feldman ...
    In this jarring look at contemporary warfare and political visuality, renowned anthropologist of violence Allen Feldman provocatively argues that contemporary sovereign power mobilizes asymmetric, clandestine, and ultimately unending war as a will to truth.

  • War and Algorithm

    by Howard Caygill, Max Liljefors, Gregor Noll, Daniel Steuer, Allen Feldman, Sara Kendall ...
    New military technologies are animated by fantasies of perfect knowledge, lawfulness, and vision that contrast sharply with the very real limits of human understanding, law, and vision. Thus, various kinds of violent acts are proliferating while their precise nature remains unclear. Especially man–machine ensembles, guided by algorithms, are operating in ways that challenge conceptual ... Read more

    by Laura Rascaroli ...
    This book offers a novel understanding of the epistemological strategies that are mobilized by the essay film, and of where and how such strategies operate.

    Laruelle and Nonhuman Philosophy

    by John Ó Maoilearca ...
    Series series Posthumanities
    All Thoughts Are Equal is both an introduction to the work of French philosopher François Laruelle and an exercise in nonhuman thinking. For Laruelle, standard forms of philosophy continue to dominate our models of what counts as exemplary thought and knowledge. By contrast, what Laruelle calls his “non-standard” approach attempts to bring democracy into thought, because all forms of thinking ... Read more

  • Documentary's Awkward Turn

    Cringe Comedy and Media Spectatorship

    by Jason Middleton ...
    Series series Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies
    Despite the prominence of "awkwardness" as cultural buzzword and descriptor of a sub-genre of contemporary film and television comedy, it has yet to be adequately theorized in academic film and media studies. Documentary’s Awkward Turn contributes a new critical paradigm to the field by presenting an analysis of awkward moments in documentary film and other reality-based media formats. It examines ...

    by Justin Remes ...

  • The Novel after Film

    Modernism and the Decline of Autonomy

    by Jonathan Foltz ...
    According to prevailing media histories, film long ago ought to have rendered the novel obsolete. The irony of this story is that the "death of the novel" at the hands of film has for a long time now been a pervasive trope of the novel's continued reinvention. The Novel After Film offers a substantial reassessment of this paradoxical new condition of novelistic practice in which writers have re ... Read more
