Despite mixed critical reception, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey mesmerized audiences at the time of its initial screening in 1968 and went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of the decade. In "2001 and Counting", Bruce Kapferer revisits the film, making a case for its continued cultural relevance. While the film's earliest audiences considered it to be a critical examination of European and American realities at the height of the Cold War, Kapferer shows that Kubrick's masterwork speaks equally well to concerns of the contemporary world, including the Iraq War, the 2008 financial crisis, and the material and political effects of neoliberalism. Kapferer explores Kubrick's central themes both with regard to current events and through the lens of Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra and the mythical concept of the eternal return.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this pamphlet, the renowned anthropologist Bruce Kapferer revists Stanley Kubrick s classic film, '2001: A Space Odyssey,' making the case for the continued relevance of its mythic force. Hailed in its time as a critical examination of European and American realities at the peak of the Cold War, in the late 1960 s, Kubrick s work is, as Kapferer shows, just as significant for the contemporary worldafter Iraq War, aftedr the crash, and in light of the many and various other effects of neo-liberalism. Kapferer tackles Kubrick s central theme: the changing relation of humanity to technology, as seen through the lens of Nietzsche s 'Zarathustra' and the overarching concept of the Eternal Return. This tour de force by one of anthropology s most insightful and imaginative thinkers testifies to the mythic power of Kubrick s film, and its refusal to go away.'. Artikel-Nr. 9780984201051
