Von der hinteren Coverseite

Contemporary Screen Ethics focuses on the intertwining of the ethical with the socio-political, considering topics such as: care, decolonial feminism, ecology, histories of political violence, intersectionality, neoliberalism, race, and sexual and gendered violence. The collection advocates looking anew at the global complexity of ethical issues across screen media: from Netflix movies to Chinese romcoms and Brazilian pornochanchadas, from Jordan Peele movies to Google Earth.This collection exposes the ethical tension between the inclusions and exclusions of global structural inequality, alongside the need to understand our collective belonging to the planet demanded by the climate crisis. Informing the analysis, established thinkers like Deleuze, Irigaray, and Rancière are joined by an array of different voices like Ferreira da Silva, Muñoz, Sheshadri-Crooks, and Vergès to unlock contemporary screen ethics.Lucy Bolton is Reader in Film Studies, Queen Mary University of LondonDavid Martin-Jones is Professor of Film Studies, University of GlasgowRobert Sinnerbrink is Associate Professor of Philosophy, Macquarie University, Sydney
