Book Presentation:
Alexander Kluge is best known as a founding member of the New German Cinema. His work, however, spans a diverse range of fields and, over the last fifty years, he has been active as a filmmaker, writer and television producer. This book - the first of its kind in English - comprises a wide selection of texts, including articles and stories by Kluge, television transcripts, critical essays by renowned international scholars, and interviews with Kluge himself. It will be a valuable resource for students and scholars in the fields of film, television, and literary studies, as well as those interested in exploring the intersections between art, politics, and social change.

About the Author:
Tara Forrest is senior lecturer in screen and cultural studies at the University of Technology, Sydney.

Press Reviews:
"The most thorough collation of writings concerning Kluge yet to appear in English, whose merits centre on its judicious selection and arrangement of texts, which are not only of reliably high quality, but also interact with and bounce off each other in stimulating, inventive ways. The reader seeking to navigate the vast oceans of Kluge’s bountiful work will find Alexander Kluge: Raw Materials for the Imagination to be an indispensable compass." ― Senses of Cinema
