Description: After Authority : Global Art Cinema and Political Transition, Paperback by Heck, Kalling, ISBN 1978806981, ISBN-13 9781978806986, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This book examines the history and development of art cinema in terms of its relationship with politics and how ambiguity can function as a political category in the context of four films: Roberto Rossellini's Germany Year Zero, Béla Tarr's Sátántangó, Hong Sang-soo's Woman on the Beach, and Haskell Wexler's Medium Cool. It focuses on the political potentials of these films, as three were made after the transition from authoritarianism or totalitarianism to democracy in Germany, Hungary, and South Korea, and the fourth was made from the perspective of the transition from democracy to authoritarianism in relation to the political actions surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the police response and violence towards protesters. It shows how each uses ambiguity as a system for dealing with these transitions and argues that ambiguity is a form of politics, as it serves to reject the systems of authority that were recently eliminated.
