The Politics of Cinema; From Expressionism to the 'will to art’ (original) (raw)

Paper given at 'Deleuze and the Contemporary Moving Image', KAVA (National Audiovisual Archive), Helsinki, Finland. 2 March 2013

AI-generated Abstract

The paper examines the relevance of Deleuze's concepts of cinema and politics in the context of contemporary art and digital technology. It critiques the simplistic applications of Deleuze in current studies, arguing for a more nuanced understanding of his ideas, particularly the relationship between expressionism, creation, and politics in film. By exploring works like Syberberg's 'Hitler: A Film from Germany', it highlights how information and art can coexist and critique dominant narratives, suggesting that genuine artistic expression serves as a counterpoint to commodified information.
