{"product_id":"archiveology-walter-benjamin-and-archival-film-practices-9780822370574","title":"Archiveology: Walter Benjamin and Archival Film Practices","description":"In \u003ci\u003eArchiveology\u003c\/i\u003e Catherine Russell uses the work of Walter Benjamin to explore how the practice of archiveology-the reuse, recycling, appropriation, and borrowing of archival sounds and images by filmmakers-provides ways to imagine the past and the future. Noting how the film archive does not function simply as a place where moving images are preserved, Russell examines a range of films alongside Benjamin's conceptions of memory, document, excavation, and historiography. She shows how city films such as Nicole Védrès's \u003ci\u003eParis 1900\u003c\/i\u003e (1947) and Thom Andersen's \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Plays Itself\u003c\/i\u003e (2003) reconstruct notions of urban life and uses Christian Marclay's \u003ci\u003eThe Clock\u003c\/i\u003e (2010) to draw parallels between critical cinephilia and Benjamin's theory of the phantasmagoria. Russell also discusses practices of collecting in archiveological film and rereads films by Joseph Cornell and Rania Stephan to explore an archival practice that dislocates and relocates the female image in film. In so doing, she not only shows how Benjamin's work is as relevant to film theory as ever; she shows how archiveology can awaken artists and audiences to critical forms of history and memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5192544\"\u003eCatherine Russell\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822370574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822370573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER004030\"\u003eFilm | History \u0026amp; Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART057000\"\u003eFilm \u0026amp; Video\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LAN\"\u003eLanguage Arts \u0026amp; Disciplines\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LAN025000\"\u003eLibrary \u0026amp; Information Science | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatherine Russell is Professor of Cinema at Concordia University and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Cinema of Naruse Mikio: Women and Japanese Modernity\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eExperimental Ethnography: The Work of Film in the Age of Video\u003c\/i\u003e, both also published by Duke University Press, as well as \u003ci\u003eClassical Japanese Cinema Revisited\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44547368354029,"sku":"9780822370574","price":52.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_9419ff75-d2a7-4fa1-a068-3eb7684cb4f0.jpg?v=1701618953","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/archiveology-walter-benjamin-and-archival-film-practices-9780822370574","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
