"In this book, Thomas J. Connelly draws on a number of key psychoanalytic concepts from the works of Jacques Lacan, Slavoj Žižek, Joan Copjec, Michel Chion, and Todd McGowan to identify and describe a genre of cinema characterized by spatial confinement. Examining classic films such as Alfred Hitchcock's Rope and Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, as well as current films such as Room, Green Room, and 10 Cloverfield Lane, Connelly shows that the source of enjoyment of confined spaces lies in the viewer's relationship to excess. Cinema of Confinement offers rich insights into the appeal of constricted filmic spaces at a time when one can easily traverse spatial boundaries within the virtual reality of cyberspace."

Wie werden komplexe Sinn-, Identitäts- und Wertekonstruktionen in den zeitlichen und dynamischen Mustern medialer Formen und Praktiken hergestellt? Wie generieren und transformieren filmische Bilder die affektiv grundierten Strukturen, in denen der Wertehorizont eines Gemeinwesens vermessen, bestätigt oder revidiert wird? In dieser Arbeit wird die These vertreten, dass die konkreten zeitlichen und dynamischen Strukturen der Filme je kulturell und historisch spezifisch zu verortende Muster der Welterfahrung hervorbringen. Anhand des (kollektiven) Schuldgefühls, dem Affekt der Irreversibilität, zeigt diese Arbeit, wie eine ästhetische Modulation moralischer Gefühle als das Kalkül audiovisueller Inszenierungsmuster beschrieben werden kann. Dieses Kalkül wird anhand von drei exemplarischen Gegenständen - das deutsche Nachkriegskino, der Hollywood-Western und Vietnamkriegsfilm sowie Filme zum Klimawandel - beschrieben und filmanalytisch greifbar gemacht. Audiovisuelle Inszenierungsmodi und ihre Modellierungen des Fühlens sollen so als eine kulturelle Praxis verdeutlicht werden, die an den Möglichkeitsbedingungen politischer Gemeinwesen und ihrer Geschichtlichkeit arbeitet.

The Garden in the Machine explores the evocations of place, and particularly American place, that have become so central to the representational and narrative strategies of alternative and mainstream film and video. Scott MacDonald contextualizes his discussion with a wide-ranging and deeply informed analysis of the depiction of place in nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature, painting, and photography. Accessible and engaging, this book examines the manner in which these films represent nature and landscape in particular, and location in general. It offers us both new readings of the films under consideration and an expanded sense of modern film history. Among the many antecedents to the films and videos discussed here are Thomas Cole's landscape painting, Thoreau's Walden, Olmsted and Vaux's Central Park, and Eadweard Muybridge's panoramic photographs of San Francisco. MacDonald analyzes the work of many accomplished avant-garde filmmakers: Kenneth Anger, Bruce Baillie, James Benning, Stan Brakhage, Nathaniel Dorsky, Hollis Frampton, Ernie Gehr, Larry Gottheim, Robert Huot, Peter Hutton, Marjorie Keller, Rose Lowder, Marie Menken, J.J. Murphy, Andrew Noren, Pat O'Neill, Leighton Pierce, Carolee Schneemann, and Chick Strand. He also examines a variety of recent commercial feature films, as well as independent experiments in documentary and such contributions to independent video history as George Kuchar's Weather Diaries and Ellen Spiro's Roam Sweet Home. MacDonald reveals the spiritual underpinnings of these works and shows how issues of race, ethnicity, gender, and class are conveyed as filmmakers attempt to discover forms of Edenic serenity within the Machine of modern society. Both personal and scholarly, The Garden in the Machine will be an invaluable resource for those interested in investigating and experiencing a broader spectrum of cinema in their teaching, in their research, and in their lives.
