Animal Worlds

Autor Laura Mcmahon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2021
The first sustained exploration of the relations between cinematic time and animal life Focusing on a recent wave of international art cinema, Animal Worlds offers the first sustained analysis of the relations between cinematic time and animal life. Through an aesthetic of extended duration, films such as Bestiaire (2010), The Turin Horse (2011) and A Cow's Life (2012) attend to animal worlds of sentience and perception, while registering the governing of life through biopolitical regimes.
Bringing together Gilles Deleuze's writings on cinema and on animals - while drawing on Jacques Derrida, Jean-Christophe Bailly, Nicole Shukin and others - the book argues that these films question the biopolitical reduction of animal life to forms of capital, opening up realms of virtuality, becoming and alternative political futures.
Key features
  • Revitalises Deleuze's thought for studies of animals in film, forging new connections between his writings on cinema and on animal life
  • Engages with a range of key concepts: the time-image and the virtual (Deleuze), 'animal capital' (Shukin), 'pensivity' (Bailly) and the Umwelt (Uexk ll)
  • Moves between film-philosophy and critical animal studies, drawing innovative connections between these two burgeoning fields
