- Displacement, Visuality and the Filmic Image

About Cinema and Language Loss

Cinema and Language Loss provides the first sustained exploration of the relationship between linguistic displacement and visuality in the filmic realm, examining in depth both its formal expressions and theoretical implications. In tracing the encounter between cinema and language loss across a wide range of films ¿ from Billy Wilder¿s Sunset Boulevard to Chantal Akerman¿s News from Home to Michael Haneke¿s Caché ¿ Mamula reevaluates the role of displacement in postwar Western film and makes an original contribution to film theory and philosophy based on a reconsideration of the place of language in our experience and understanding of cinema.
