Abstract

The Subject of Film and Race is the first comprehensive intervention into how film critics and scholars have sought to understand cinema's relationship to racial ideology. In attempting to do more than merely identify harmful stereotypes, research on 'films and race' appropriates ideas from post-structuralist theory. But on those platforms, the field takes intellectual and political positions that place its anti-racist efforts at an impasse. While presenting theoretical ideas in an accessible way, Gerald Sim's historical materialist approach uniquely triangulates well-known work by Edward Said with the Neo-Marxian writing about film by Theodor Adorno and Fredric Jameson. The Subject of Film and Race takes on topics such as identity politics, multiculturalism, multiracial discourse, and cyborg theory, to force film and media studies into rethinking their approach, specifically towards humanism and critical subjectivity. The book illustrates theoretical discussions with a diverse set of familiar films by John Ford, Michael Mann, Todd Solondz, Quentin Tarantino, Keanu Reeves, and others, to show that we must always be aware of capitalist history when thinking about race, ethnicity, and films.

Abstract

Depuis le xviie siècle, le champ de la diplomatie s’est considérablement élargi à mesure des évolutions des relations internationales et des mondialisations successives. Les ambassades, les congrès diplomatiques, les grandes conférences et les organisations internationales mobilisent des spécialistes de plus en plus nombreux, montrant ainsi que la diplomatie n’est pas une activité déconnectée de son environnement mais qu’elle draine les compétences de la société de son temps. En rassemblant 18 contributions d’historiens, cet ouvrage interroge sur le long terme, en jouant sur les perspectives et les jeux d’échelles, les relations tantôt complémentaires, tantôt conflictuelles, qui unissent le diplomate et l’expert. Pourquoi recourt-on à l’expertise ? Vient-elle en appui à la décision ou acquiert-elle une certaine autonomie ? L’expert parvient-il à s’affirmer comme un acteur à part entière de la diplomatie ? En décentrant le regard traditionnellement porté sur les négociations pour en dévoiler les prémisses et les périphéries, cette étude s’inscrit dans la dynamique d’une histoire renouvelée de la diplomatie qui entend s’intéresser à l’ensemble des acteurs publics et privés participant au processus décisionnel.
