Introduction: towards a poetics of conflict in film

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Foreword/postscript

Abstract

This essay constitutes a general introduction to the volume Mediations of Disruption in Post-Conflict Film. More than just describing each contribution, the essay discusses the problems, the different approaches and discursive practices involved in the debates on (post-)conflict situations, and their representation in cinema, pondering its possibilities and limits. By providing insights on modes of representation, the chapter addresses and discusses a politics of conflict representation and an ensuing cinematic poetics of conflict, articulating different critical positionings in a dialogue that highlights a prismatic and complementary understanding of the topic.
