"Limit Cinema explores how contemporary global cinema represents the relationship between humans and nature. During the 21st century this relationship has become increasingly fraught due to proliferating social and environmental crises; recent films from Lars von Trier's Melancholia (2011) to Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) address these problems by reflecting or renegotiating the terms of our engagement with the natural world. In this spirit, this book proposes a new film philosophy for the Anthropocene. It argues that certain contemporary films attempt to transgress the limits of human experience, and that such 'limit cinema' has the potential to help us rethink our relationship with nature. Posing a new and timely alternative to the process philosophies that have become orthodox in the fields of film philosophy and ecocriticism, Limit Cinema revitalizes the philosophy of Georges Bataille and puts forward a new reading of his notion of transgression in the context of our current environmental crisis. To that end, Limit Cinema brings Bataille into conversation with more recent discussions in the humanities that seek less anthropocentric modes of thought, including posthumanism, speculative realism, and other theories associated with the nonhuman turn. The problems at stake are global in scale, and the book therefore engages with cinema from a range of national and cultural contexts. From Ben Wheatley's psychological thrillers to Nettie Wild's eco-documentaries, limit cinema pushes against the boundaries of thought and encourages an ethical engagement with perspectives beyond the human"--

Une double invitation à reconsidérer la production audiovisuelle d'Alain Tanner, l'une des figures les plus importantes du Nouveau Cinéma Suisse. Cet ouvrage, qui cherche à renouveler la compréhension de la pratique du réalisateur genevois Alain Tanner, est conçu en deux volets. Le premier volet (1957-1970) s'attache à reconsidérer la production documentaire (5 films) et télévisuelle (31 titres) du cinéaste. Datant d'avant son succès international des années 1970, ces travaux, largement oubliés et presque rejetés par Tanner lui-même, révèlent pourtant en creux son goût pour les problématiques spatiales et son orientation progressive vers la fiction. Le second volet (1969-2004) réenvisage l'intégralité des films de fiction de Tanner au prisme des représentations de genre. Son cinéma d'expression personnelle met en scène des figures de femme positives et complexes, singularité qui vaudra à Tanner d'être considéré, dès le début des années 1970, comme un cinéaste sensible à la question féminine.

This book offers comparative studies of the production, content, distribution and reception of film and television drama in Europe. The collection brings together scholars from the humanities and social sciences to focus on how new developments are shaped by national and European policies and practices, and on the role of film and television in our everyday lives. The chapters explore key trends in transnational European film and television fiction, addressing issues of co-production and collaboration, and of how cultural products circulate across national borders. The chapters investigate how watching film and television from neighbouring countries can be regarded as a special kind of cultural encounter with the possibility of facilitating reflections on national differences within Europe and negotiations of what characterizes a national or a European identity respectively. .
