Violence Framed: Remediating Images of Racialized Violence in Film

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This chapter examines the remediation of images of racialized violence in the films I Am Not Your Negro, directed by Raoul Peck, and BlacKkKlansman, by Spike Lee, and the HBO series Lovecraft Country, by Misha Green, in particular, how their use of remediation sutures past and present images of violence, re-familiarizing audiences with the realities of the past of anti-Black violence and its physical and representational afterlives. The twofold focus of analysis is on: (1) the uncovering of the representational violence of the whiteness within sci-fi and romantic-comedy films and westerns of classical Hollywood cinema; and (2) the quotation of lynching photographs. The use of visual quotations as part of Peck, Lee, and Green’s social justice agenda is concurrently assessed.
