Passing and Posing between Black and White

Calibrating the Color Line in U.S. Cinema
BuchKartoniert, Paperback
250 Seiten
Englisch
transcripterschienen am02.12.2021
Since its inception, U.S. American cinema has grappled with the articulation of racial boundaries. This applies, in the first instance, to featuring mixed-race characters crossing the color line. In a broader sense, however, this also concerns viewing conditions and knowledge configurations. The fact that American film engages itself so extensively with the unbalanced relation between black and white is neither coincidental nor trivial to state - it has much more to do with disputing boundaries that pertain to the medium itself. Lisa Gotto examines this constellation along the early history of American film, the cinematic modernism of the late 1950s, and the post-classical cinema of the turn of the millennium.mehr

Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
»[The book] makes a compelling case for engaging with representations of racial passing on screen with a specific focus on aesthetics and form, and the ways in which they have contributed to filmic innovation in the United States.« Lea Espinoza Garrido, Amerikastudien, 68/4 (2023) »A resourceful read with precise observations and a wealth of thoughts.« Hans-Ulrich Mohr, Anglia, 140/3-4 (2022) » This is an important book and should be read.« Jan-Christopher Horak, Archival Spaces, 283 (2021)mehr
