Description de l'ouvrage :
Why might interdependence, the idea that we are made up of our relations, be horrifying? Philosophy, Film, and the Dark Side of Interdependence argues that philosophy can outline the contours of dark specter of interdependence and that film can shine a light on its shadowy details, together revealing a horror of relations. The contributors interrogate the question of interdependence through analyses of contemporary film, giving voice to new perspectives on its meaning. Conceived before and written during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and through a period of deep social unrest, this volume reveals a reality both perennial and timely.
À propos de l'auteur :
Jonathan Beever is assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Central Florida and director of the UCF Center for Ethics.
Revue de Presse :
"Beever has produced a timely and relevant exploration of the potentially unsettling condition of interdependence, demonstrating the value of filmic narratives in helping to shape and form the human condition. This collection brings together some of the greatest minds in film and cultural studies to broaden our understanding of cinema and the role it can play in our postmodern, anthropogenic society."
-- Kyle Bishop, Southern Utah University; author of The Written Dead
"Life is all about interrelationships; we are interdependent with much more than just our fellow humans. In a civilization that prides itself on individuality and separateness from nature, we need to embrace the vital shadow of dependency for it depends itself on the beauty of illumination."
-- Peter Whitehouse, Case Western Reserve University
"What becomes of the anthropos in the anthropocene? This book’s methodological scope guarantees something for every scholar interested in our entangled, contemporary world. Come for the lucid film analysis, stay for the existential nightmare fuel."
-- Katherine Kurtz, Villanova University
