The author seeks to dispel the myth that Godard’s work abandoned political questions after the 1970s and was limited to merely formal ones. The book includes a discussion of militant filmmaking and Godard’s little-known films from the Dziga Vertov Group period, which were made in collaboration with Jean-Pierre Gorin. The chapters present a thorough account of Godard’s investigations on the issue of aesthetic-political representation, including his controversial juxtaposition of the Shoah and the Nakba. Emmelhainz argues that the French director’s \u003ci\u003eoeuvre\u003c\/i\u003e highlights contradictions between aesthetics and politics in a quest for a dialectical image. By positing all of Godard’s work as experiments in dialectical materialist filmmaking, from \u003ci\u003eLe Petit soldat\u003c\/i\u003e (1963) to \u003ci\u003eAdieu au langage \u003c\/i\u003e(2014), the author brings attention to Godard’s ongoing inquiry on the role filmmakers can have in progressive political engagement.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-05-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319720944\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-72095-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 327\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45440709427340,"sku":"9783319720944","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319720944.jpg?v=1776019945","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319720944","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
