Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE The Red Years of Cahiers du cinma (1968-1973) by Daniel Fairfax The uprising which shook France in May 1968 also had a revolutionary effect on the countrys most prominent film journal. Under editors Jean-Louis Comolli and Jean Narboni, Cahiers du cinéma embarked on a militant turn that would govern the journals work over the next five years. Inspired by Marxist and psychoanalytic theory, the "red years" of Cahiers du cinéma produced a theoretical outpouring that was seminal for the formation of film studies and is still of vital relevance for the contemporary audiovisual landscape. The Red Years of Cahiers du Cinéma (1968-1973) gives an overview of this period in the journals history and its aftermath, combining biographical accounts of the critics who wrote for Cahiers in the post 1968 period with theoretical explorations of their key texts.

Thanks to exhaustive archival research, Fairfax re-establishes the coherent yet complex trajectory of the journal. It is an exemplary study: the outcome of true dedication, astute critical sensibility and a great passion for film." - Francesco Casetti, Yale University "During its red years, the core contributors to Cahiers du cinéma rethought cinema in ways that have had lasting influence for contemporary film studies. This is an extraordinarily comprehensive work that not only yields a tremendous amount of information and theoretical nuance, but also offers new ways of understanding Cahiers in its Marxist phase." - Philip Rosen, Brown University Listen to author Daniel Fairfax in conversation with Annie Berke, the Film Editor of the Los Angeles Review of Books, on the New Books in Film podcast: Review Quote "Daniel Fairfaxs book is an impressive work that casts new light on the history of Cahiers du cin Details ISBN9463721010 Pages 880 Publisher Amsterdam University Press Year 2021 ISBN-10 9463721010 ISBN-13 9789463721011 Format Hardcover Imprint Amsterdam University Press Place of Publication Amsterdam Country of Publication Netherlands Publication Date 2021-10-25 UK Release Date 2021-10-25 Author Daniel Fairfax Series Film Culture in Transition Alternative 9789048543908 DEWEY 777.092 Audience Professional & Vocational We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
