Description



About the Book



Exploring how animals shape contemporary cinema and transform the ways we understand film form, narration, montage, and sound.



Book Synopsis



Film aesthetics can be understood differently when non-human animals become part of film theory and practice. Ina Karkani examines how animals shape film form, from narration and montage to sound, while exploring human-animal relations and the ontology of cinema itself. Drawing on ecofeminist theory, the study develops an interdisciplinary approach to contemporary cinema and offers close readings of films including »The Lobster« (2017), »Toni Erdmann« (2017), and »The Square« (2017). Bringing together film studies, ecocriticism, and animal studies, it explores how cinema can challenge established boundaries between human and non-human life.



Review Quotes




»Die Auswahl des Korpus, die sehr gründliche und versierte Literaturrecherche und -auswertung, die Dramaturgie der Arbeit sowie das jederzeit sauber getrennte, aber argumentativ ineinandergreifende Verhältnis von Epistemologie, disziplinären Theorien, Ästhetik und Analyse sind hervorragend aufeinander abgestimmt und bis ins letzte Detail überzeugend.«-- "Prof. Dr. Ariane Jessulat, Universität der Künste Berlin"

»Für die Filmwissenschaft und die Cultural Animal Studies, aber auch für die kulturwissenschaftliche Filmforschung, ist nicht zuletzt relevant, dass die Dissertation ein theoretisches Instrumentarium bereithält, das ermöglicht, komplexe neue Formen von Kreatürlichkeit bezogen auf Film zu denken und theoriebasiert zu analysieren.«-- "Prof. Dr. Sabine Nessel, Freie Universität Berlin"
