Admirers and students will rightfully cherish \u003ci\u003eAfter Kubrick\u003c\/i\u003e for its unprecedented depth, its smart variety of approaches, and the intense light it shines on films that have become classics. * Murray Pomerance, author of Virtuoso: Film Performance and the Actor's Magic (2019) *\u003cbr\u003eThese fascinating, often ingenious, and always insightful essays explore the complex legacy of one of the great artists of the 20th century. * Robert P. Kolker, Emeritus Professor, University of Maryland, USA *\u003cbr\u003eNever 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, \u003ci\u003eAfter Kubrick\u003c\/i\u003e 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. * Eugenie Brinkema, Associate Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, author of The Forms of the Affects *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter Kubrick\u003c\/i\u003e 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. * Senses of Cinema *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction: \u003c\/b\u003e1999–2019, and Beyond: A Post-Kubrickian Odyssey \u003ci\u003e(Jeremi Szaniawski, UMass Amherst, USA)\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cb\u003e1. \u003c\/b\u003eStanley Kubrick’s Prototypes: the Author as World-Maker \u003ci\u003e(Thomas Elsaesser, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e2.\u003c\/b\u003e “Kubrick’s Cube”: Stanley Kubrick, Judaism and his Jewish Heirs \u003ci\u003e(Nathan Abrams, Bangor University, UK)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e3. \u003c\/b\u003eKubrick’s Inheritors: Aesthetics, Independence, and Philosophy in the Films of Joel and Ethan Coen \u003ci\u003e(Rodney F Hill, Hofstra University, USA)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e4. \u003c\/b\u003eBlurring the Lines between Victim and Perpetrator: Yorgos Lanthimos and Stanley Kubrick’s legacy \u003ci\u003e(Pierre Simon Gutman, ESRA, France)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e5.\u003c\/b\u003e Glimpses of Eternity: Stanley Kubrick’s Time Machines\u003ci\u003e (Jeremi Szaniawski, UMass Amherst, USA)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e6. \u003c\/b\u003eKubrickian Dread: Echoes of \u003ci\u003e2001\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/i\u003e in Works by Jonathan Glazer, Paul Thomas Anderson, and David Lynch \u003ci\u003e(Rick Warner, UNC Chapel Hill, USA)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e7.\u003c\/b\u003e Excessive and Incomplete: Kubrick’s Turing \u003ci\u003e(Marta Figlerowicz, Yale University, USA)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e8.\u003c\/b\u003e Thus Spoke Kubrick: “Guide Pieces,” Modes of Citation and the Rise of the Temp Track \u003ci\u003e(Adrian Daub, Stanford University, USA)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e9. \u003c\/b\u003eFade to Crude: Petro-Horror and Kubrick’s \u003ci\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e(Pansy Duncan, Massey University, New Zealand)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e10.\u003c\/b\u003e The Anxiety of Interpretation: \u003ci\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRoom 237I\u003c\/i\u003e, and Film Criticism \u003ci\u003e(Daniel Fairfax, Frankfurt am Main University, Germany)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e11.\u003c\/b\u003e Political Opacity in the Films of Stanley Kubrick \u003ci\u003e(John Pitseys, Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve, France)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e12.\u003c\/b\u003e Coping with the Unknown in \u003ci\u003e2001: A Space Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eInterstellar\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e(Mircea Deaca, University of Bucarest, Romania)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e13.\u003c\/b\u003e Biopolitical Abjection and Sexuation: Stanley Kubrick’s Political Films \u003ci\u003e(Seung-hoon Jeong, NYU Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e14.\u003c\/b\u003e Kubrick at the Museum: Post-cinematic Conditions, Limitations, and Possibilities \u003ci\u003e(Jihoon Kim, Chung-Ang University, South Korea)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e15.\u003c\/b\u003e The Dead Kitten: Sacrifice in Barry Lyndon \u003ci\u003e(Alexander Nemerov, Stanford University, USA)\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cb\u003e     Appendix:\u003c\/b\u003e Interview with Gaspar Noé  \u003ci\u003e(Pip Chodorov, Dong-Guk University, South Korea)\u003c\/i\u003e  Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52084976025943,"sku":"9781501383557","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781501383557.jpg?v=1762207788","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/after-kubrick-9781501383557","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
