After Kubrick: A Filmmaker’s Legacy de Professor Jeremi Szaniawski

After Kubrick: A Filmmaker’s Legacy

Editat de Professor Jeremi Szaniawski
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 feb 2020
Taking at its starting point the idea that Kubrick's cinema has constituted an intellectual, cerebral, and philosophical maze in which many filmmakers (as well as thinkers and a substantial fringe of the general public) have gotten lost at one point or another, this collection looks at the legacy of Kubrick's films in the 21st century.The main avenues investigated are as follows: a look at Kubrick's influence on his most illustrious followers (Paul Thomas Anderson, the Coen Brothers, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, and Lars von Trier, to name a few); Kubrick in critical reception; Kubrick in stylistic (camera movements, set designs, music), thematic (artificial intelligence, new frontiers- large and small), aesthetic (the question of genre, pastiche, stereoscopy) and political terms (paranoia, democracy and secret societies, conspiracy theories). The contributions coalesce around the concept of a Kubrickian substrate, rich and complex, which permeates our Western cultural landscape very much to this day, informing and sometimes announcing/reflecting it in twisted ways, 21 years after the director's death.

Recenzii

[T]reads new ground in Kubrick-ademia.
Here is a collection of lambently written and fascinating explorations of an important filmmaker's scintillating career. Admirers and students will rightfully cherish After Kubrick for its unprecedented depth, its smart variety of approaches, and the intense light it shines on films that have become classics.
These fascinating, often ingenious, and always insightful essays explore the complex legacy of one of the great artists of the 20th century.
Never sentimental, fawning, or uncritical, this collection tackles the complex subject of the legacy of Kubrick's films with the most promiscuous possible sense of aesthetic influence. Kubrick, or, rather, 'Kubrick,' thereby becomes a machine, a form, a process, a method, a medium, an excuse, a vibrant philosophical conceit, enabling the revisiting of some of the most pressing contemporary debates in the study of representation-the aesthetic status of affect; the post- and trans-human relation to technology and artificial intelligence; environmental catastrophe and the machinery of war; in addition to film-philosophical concerns with cinematic time; the grotesque and violent; and the status of aesthetic form itself. Grounding its far-reaching considerations in exemplary close readings, and with a particularly rich editorial introduction, After Kubrick thereby brings out the etymological debt of the word 'influence' itself: from the Latin influere, to flow into, an undetermined streaming of energy, fluid, or even unobservable forces, demonstrating that aesthetic influence is the unpredictable and impersonal capacity to produce new and surprising effects.
After Kubrick represents an infusion of rich blood into Kubrick studies and contemporary cinema studies. Contributing authors are among the finest in those fields, but this volume is not a collection of "the usual Kubrick suspects": it extends much further than that in its inclusiveness and in its ambitious scope to cut new pathways back into Kubrick's work and forward into emergent work.
