This book reminds us that films can also be rebellious, aiming not to reinforce but undermine the status quo. In this updated version of his original classic, Richard Porton traces the evolution of anarchist ideas and their influence on cinematic form and content, exploring a wide range of expressive work designed to provoke, inspire, and confound. A welcome and compelling celebration of a subversive and still-evolving genre.\"--Astra Taylor, author of \u003ci\u003eThe People's Platform: Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Although I'm a feminist, but not a self-identified anarchist-feminist, Richard Porton's Film And The Anarchist Imagination has inspired me to study the texts and films he brilliantly analyzes, even revisit my own from his unique perspective.\"--Lizzie Borden\u003cbr\u003ePraise for the previous edition:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Porton's astute and engaging study provides a needed corrective to the 'laughably unsubtle' movies that recycle stereotypes and half-truths.\"--Catherine Saint Louis, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003e1 Anarchism and Cinema: Representation and Self-Representation \u003cbr\u003e2 Cinema, Anarchism, and Revolution: Heroes, Martyrs, and Utopian Moments \u003cbr\u003e3 Anarcho-Syndicalism versus the “Revolt against Work” \u003cbr\u003e4 Film and Anarchist Pedagogy \u003cbr\u003e5 The Elusive Anarchist Aesthetic \u003cbr\u003eAfterword (2019) \u003cbr\u003eNotes \u003cbr\u003eIndex","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400449073495,"sku":"9780252043338","price":87.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780252043338.jpg?v=1730470710","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/film-and-the-anarchist-imagination-9780252043338","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
