Noting how the film archive does not function simply as a place where moving images are preserved, Russell examines a range of films alongside Benjamin's conceptions of memory, document, excavation, and historiography. She shows how city films such as Nicole Védrès's \u003ci\u003eParis 1900\u003c\/i\u003e (1947) and Thom Andersen's \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Plays Itself\u003c\/i\u003e (2003) reconstruct notions of urban life and uses Christian Marclay's \u003ci\u003eThe Clock\u003c\/i\u003e (2010) to draw parallels between critical cinephilia and Benjamin's theory of the phantasmagoria. Russell also discusses practices of collecting in archiveological film and rereads films by Joseph Cornell and Rania Stephan to explore an archival practice that dislocates and relocates the female image in film. In so doing, she not only shows how Benjamin's work is as relevant to film theory as ever; she shows how archiveology can awaken artists and audiences to critical forms of history and memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatherine Russell is Professor of Cinema at Concordia University and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Cinema of Naruse Mikio: Women and Japanese Modernity\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eExperimental Ethnography: The Work of Film in the Age of Video\u003c\/i\u003e, both also published by Duke University Press, as well as \u003ci\u003eClassical Japanese Cinema Revisited\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 28, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457522778365,"sku":"9780822370574","price":63.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/L1I2b1BwWVR2ZVl0bFlCWG9CUWlJZz09.webp?v=1777238054","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/archiveology-walter-benjamin-and-archival-film-practices-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
