Argues that Godard's conception and practice of cinematic language opens fresh, important possibilities for thinking about radical alterity. This book reads a series of Godard films as interventions in contemporary debate about the language of difference.

The idea of the Other is central to both Levinas' philosophy and to postcolonialism, but they both apply the concept in different ways. Now, John Drabinski asks what we can learn from reading Levinas alongside postcolonial theories of difference. Drawing on the works of Gayatri Spivak, Homi Bhabha, Edouard Glissant and Subcommandante Marcos, he rethinks ideas of difference, language, subjectivity, ethics and politics.
