설명
Explores a growing number of films and filmmakers that challenge the strict boundaries between belief and unbelief.For some time now thinkers across the humanities and social sciences have increasingly called into question the oncedominant view of the relationship between modernity and secularism prompting some to speak of a postsecular turn. Until now film studies has largely been silent about this development even though cinema itself has been a major vehicle for such reflection. This fact became inescapable in 2011 when Terrence Malicks The Tree of Life and Lars von Triers Melancholia were released within days of each other. While these two audacious and controversial films present seemingly opposite perspectivesthe former a thoughtful meditation on faith the latter a portrayal of nontriumphalist atheismtogether they raise critical questions about transcendence and immanence in modern life. These films are however only the most conspicuous of a growing body of works that call forth similar and related questionswhat this collection aptly calls postsecular cinema.Taking the nearly simultaneous release of The Tree of Life and Melancholia as its starting point and framing device this pioneering collection sets out to establish the idea of postsecular cinema as a distinct body of films and a viable critical category. Adopting a filmphilosophy approach one group of essays examines Malicks and von Triers films while another looks at works by Chantal Akerman Denys Arcand the Dardenne brothers and John Michael McDonagh among others. The volume closes with two important interviews with Luc Dardenne and JeanLuc Nancy that invite us to reflect more deeply on some of the central concerns of postsecular cinema.
