Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Artists, writers, and filmmakers from Andy Warhol and J. G. Ballard to Alejandro GonzÁlez IÑÁrritu and Ousmane SembÈne have repeatedly used representations of immobilized and crashed cars to wrestle with the conundrums of modernity. In Crash, Karen Beckman argues that representations of the crash parallel the encounter of film with other media, and that these collisions between media offer useful ways to think about alterity, politics, and desire. Examining the significance of automobile collisions in film genres including the "cinema of attractions," slapstick comedies, and industrial-safety movies, Beckman reveals how the car crash gives visual form to fantasies and anxieties regarding speed and stasis, risk and safety, immunity and contamination, and impermeability and penetration. Her reflections on the crash as the traumatic, uncertain moment of inertia that comes in the wake of speed and confidence challenge the tendency in cinema studies to privilege movement above film's other qualities.

As it resonates through a variety of cinematic and literary texts, Karen Beckman views the 'car crash' vividly (and viscerally) as a startling visual image, narrative thematic, and critical metaphor for what drives our contradictory desires for 'automobility, ' inertia, feeling, and community on a collision course both productive and destructive. As she moves across theories and disciplines, Beckman's textual and cultural analyses come together in a work that is passionate, illuminating, and politically engaged. "Crash" is a major contribution to film and media studies, comparative literature, art history, and cultural studies and, indeed, is a model of interdisciplinary scholarship."--Vivian Sobchack, author of "Carnal Thoughts: Embodiment and Moving Image Culture".…
