In recent years some of the best-known European and American art film directors have made films that place the spectator in a position of intense discomfort: Feel-Bad Films . Through analysis of films by directors such as Lars von Trier, Gus Van Sant and Claire Denis, amongst others, this book explores why we are attracted to these unpleasurable viewing experiences, what directors believe they can achieve via the feel-bad experience and how we can situate the films in intellectual history. Key Features: Detailed analyses of the work of some of the best-known contemporary art film directors * stimulating contribution to current debates about the ethics and politics of cinematic spectatorship * The conceptualization of a cinematic genre that will allow us to reconsider debates about the social potential of film

How do the writings of Verlaine, Baudelaire, and Mallarmé speak to our time? Why should we continue to read these poets today? How might a contemporary reading of their poetry differ from readings delivered in previous centuries? Twenty-First-Century Symbolism argues that Verlaine, Baudelaire, and Mallarmé prefigure a view of human subjectivity that is appropriate for our times: we cannot be separated from the worlds in which we live and evolve; human beings both mediate and are mediations of the environments we traverse and that traverse us, whether these are natural, urban, linguistic, or technological environments. The ambition of the book is therefore twofold: on the one hand, it aims to offer new readings of the three poets, demonstrating their continued relevance for contemporary debates, putting them into dialogue with a philosophical corpus that has not yet played a role in the study of nineteenth century French poetry; on the other, the book relies on the three poets to establish an understanding of human subjectivity that is in tune with our twenty-first century concerns.
