Description
Political Theory and Film: From Adorno to Žižek by Ian Fraser explores the intersection of political thought and cinema, examining how films reflect, challenge, and shape political ideologies. The book delves into the perspectives of influential political theorists such as Theodor Adorno, Michel Foucault, Jacques Rancière, and Slavoj Žižek, analyzing their views on culture, ideology, and representation through the lens of film. Fraser discusses how cinema can both reinforce and subvert dominant power structures, engaging with themes like consumerism, surveillance, and resistance. Through critical analysis of various films, he illustrates how political theory helps us understand the deeper ideological messages embedded in cinematic narratives. This book is an essential read for those interested in political philosophy, cultural studies, and film criticism.
