Reviews
"Enormously inventive, polemical, and lucidly written." --Jacques Khalip, author of Disastrous Form from Kant to Hujar, " Negative Life is both an essential critique of ecological affirmation in an age of extinction and an exciting foray into some of the edgiest cinema of our time. Written with a lucidity and energy that makes the dire world of extinction and its denial engagingly readable, this is a must-read for anyone working in the environmental humanities." --Claire Colebrook, author of Who Would You Kill to Save the World?, "Enormously inventive, polemical, and lucidly written." --Jacques Khalip, author of Last Things: D isastrous Form from Kant to Hujar, "In their generative call to theorise, and make room for, the afterlives of entanglement, Swarbrick and Tremblay . . . provide a conception of the human subject as much more subdued and fractured, and whose incoherence and contradictions cannot necessarily be easily resolved through more-than-human entanglement . . . This work is never simply an intellectual exercise in theoretical development, but a timely invitation to come to terms with life's intensifying contradictions in times of climate emergencies." -- cultural geographies " Negative Life is a major work of critical analysis whose challenge to the pastoralizing tendency of certain ecocritical theorists should have the paradoxical effect of enlivening the field." --Lee Edelman, author of Bad Education: Why Queer Theory Teaches Us Nothing, " Negative Life is both an essential critique of ecological affirmation in an age of extinction and an exciting foray into some of the edgiest cinema of our time. Written with a lucidity and energy that makes the dire world of extinction and its denial engagingly readable, this is a must-read for anyone working in the environmental humanities." -Claire Colebrook, author of Who Would You Kill to Save the World?, " Negative Life is a major work of critical analysis whose challenge to the pastoralizing tendency of certain ecocritical theorists should have the paradoxical effect of enlivening the field." --Lee Edelman, author of Bad Education: Why Queer Theory Teaches Us Nothing

Synopsis
Negative Life: The Cinema of Extinction brings cinema studies, queer theory, and psychoanalysis into novel configuration around the concept of negative life, a sundering of human and nonhuman relations. Engaging a philosophical and cinematic corpus that rejects the pastoralism of "entanglement" or "enmeshment," Steven Swarbrick and Jean-Thomas Tremblay counter ecocritical pieties and cut a new path for theory. They examine films by Julian Pölsler, Kelly Reichardt, Lee Isaac Chung, Mahesh Mathai, Paul Schrader, and others that exemplify the existential contradictions currently intensifying amid the sixth mass extinction. Each case study testifies formally and thematically to negative life as a structural condition of thought and film. Together, the cases reveal the unlivable dimension of life and art, where form, desire, and non-belonging tarry with the future-oriented promise of ecostudies-where all that lives connects. Negative Life militates against this promise, showing that faith in connection is a dead end., How films help us understand the inevitable death of Earth and humanity Negative Life: The Cinema of Extinction brings cinema studies, queer theory, and psychoanalysis into novel configuration around the concept of negative life, a sundering of human and nonhuman relations.

- e***_ (17)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
