After Authority

Explores the tendency in art cinema to respond to political transition by turning to ambiguity, a system that ideally stems the reemergence of authoritarian logics in art and elsewhere. After Authority proposes a history of art cinema predicated on the potentials, possibilities, and politics of ambiguity.

Dupa ce Autoritatea a explorat tendinta cinematografiei de arta de a raspunde la tranzitia politica, apeland la ambiguitate, un sistem care sta in mod ideal reaparitia logicii autoritare in arta si in alte parti. Comparand filme din Italia, Ungaria, Coreea de Sud si Statele Unite, aceasta carte sustine ca traditia estetica a ambiguitatii in cinematografia de arta poate fi trasata la conditii post-autoritare si ca se afla in contextul unei tranzitii departe de autoritarism unde estetica cinematografiei de arta devine lizibila.
