FORMATHardcover CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Contemporary Screen Ethics focuses on the intertwining of the ethical with the socio-political, considering such topics 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 and diversity of such ethical issues across various screen media: from Netflix movies to VR, from Chinese romcoms to Brazilian pornochanchadas, from documentaries to drone warfare, from Jordan Peele movies to Google Earth. The analysis exposes the ethical tension between the inclusions and exclusions of global structural inequality (the identities of the haves, the absences of the have nots), alongside the need to understand our collective belonging to the planet demanded by the climate crisis. Informing the analysis, established thinkers like Deleuze, Irigaray, Jameson and Rancire are joined by an array of different voices Ferreira da Silva, Gill, Lugones, Milroy, Muoz, Sheshadri-Crooks, Vergs to unlock contemporary screen ethics.

Review

"In this brilliantly curated collection of essays, scholars from around the world discuss ways in which cinemas today negotiate and sometimes, failure to address traumas, corporeality, renewed relationships with our environment, caring, and empathy. It opens new opportunities for us to rethink what cinema and film philosophy have done, and how they can be deterritorialised and reterritorialised today." -Victor Fan, King's College London

In this brilliantly curated collection of essays, scholars from around the world discuss ways in which cinemas today negotiate - and sometimes, failure to address - traumas, corporeality, renewed relationships with our environment, caring, and empathy. It opens new opportunities for us to rethink what cinema and film philosophy have done, and how they can be deterritorialised and reterritorialised today.
