Imaging Religion In Film: The Politics Of Nostalgia

Synopsis

'Imaging Religion in Film' offers a new methodology for examining the ethico-political dimensions of religion and film, one that foregrounds film's social power both to shape subjectivity and to image contemporary social contradictions. Specifically, the text develops a Foucauldian ethics of the subject, or 'pedagogy of self,' a Deleuzian-Peircean semiotic for discussing religion in film, and a theory of religion within postmodernity that rethinks transcendence alongside a politically galvanizing nostalgia. This theoretical work prefaces analyses of three specific films: Kurosawa's'Dersu Uzala' (1972); Kiarostami's'Taste of Cherry' (1997); and the Coens''The Man Who Wasn't There' (2001).
