Montage-praxis-politics : radical French and American film of the 1960s and 1970s
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation examines different modalities of montage generated by political filmmakers in France and the United States including Jean-Luc Godard, Chris Marker, Emile de Antonio, and Robert Kramer as well as the political filmmaking groups with which they were associated. It also situates them within the social, cultural, and historical milieu in which they operated and into which they set out to intervene. At its heart, this dissertation puts forth a capacious understanding of montage as a form of political cinematic praxis that intervenes directly into our ideological perceptions of reality, that is to say, lived experience and consciousness of that experience. Moreover, it argues that one of the primary political imperatives of these approaches to montage was to foment solidarity not only with the decolonizing world, but also within the ranks of homegrown movements for political change. By analyzing film's relationship to local and global movements against racism, capitalism, and imperialism, it puts forth an internationalist history of cinematic praxis that outlines the medium's virtues and limitations as a tool of and for emancipatory politics.
