Politics of indeterminacy: utopia and crisis in the essay film
Screen ( IF 0.3 ) Pub Date : 2021-02-19 , DOI: 10.1093/screen/hjaa052
Rob Coley

It is now safe to say that the essay film has been brought in from the cold. Long unrecognized and unknown within Anglo-American studies of visual culture, the form has of late been subject to significant critical attention and retrospective celebration. Over the past decade in particular, the study of the essay film has become established as a field in its own right, legitimized by a profusion of subject-specific conferences and publications, while it has become increasingly common to encounter the form itself in the cinema, on television, in the gallery and online. Yet much of this ongoing academic work is simultaneously dedicated to defining a new object of study and disavowing the possibility of such definition. Indeed, what unifies varying accounts of the essay film is a concern with an aesthetic sensibility rather than with a clearly identifiable mode or genre that lends itself to classification. The essay film is neither simply fiction nor simply non-fiction; it both refuses sublimation into documentary and exceeds the boundaries of narrative. The essay film is, then, experimental, but typically not in the way this term is circumscribed within the ambit of art practice. Nonetheless, beyond these negations there is also positive consensus on the key characteristics of the form. These include its commonly subjective and speculative approach (to ‘essay’ means to attempt, to test out), its tendency towards structures that repudiate conventional rationality, and in particular its reflexive engagement with the conditions of its own mediation.11

不确定性的政治:随笔影片中的乌托邦和危机

现在可以肯定地说,杂文影片是从寒冷中带进来的。长期以来,在英美视觉文化研究中,这种形式一直未被人们所认识,并且鲜为人知。最近,这种形式受到了重要的批判性关注和回顾性的庆祝。尤其是在过去的十年中,论文电影的研究已被确立为一个独立的领域,并因大量主题特定的会议和出版物而合法化,而在电影院中遇到形式本身已变得越来越普遍。 ,电视,画廊和在线上。然而,许多正在进行的学术工作却同时致力于定义一个新的研究对象,并否认了这种定义的可能性。的确,统一短片电影各种叙述的原因是审美敏感性,而不是清晰可辨的模式或类型来进行分类。散文电影既不是简单的小说,也不是简单的非小说。它既拒绝升华为纪录片,又超越了叙事的界限。随笔影片是实验性的,但通常不是在艺术实践的范围内限定该术语的方式。但是,除了这些否定之外,人们还对表格的主要特征达成了积极的共识。这些包括其通常的主观和推测性方法(尝试“论文”意味着尝试,检验),其趋向于否定传统合理性的结构的趋势,尤其是其对自身调解条件的反身参与。1 它既拒绝升华为纪录片,又超越了叙事的界限。随笔影片是实验性的,但通常不是在艺术实践的范围内限定该术语的方式。但是,除了这些否定之外,人们还对表格的主要特征达成了积极的共识。这些包括其通常的主观和推测性方法(尝试“论文”意味着尝试,检验),其趋向于否定传统合理性的结构的趋势,尤其是其对自身调解条件的反身参与。1 它既拒绝升华为纪录片,又超越了叙事的界限。随笔影片是实验性的,但通常不是在艺术实践的范围内限定该术语的方式。但是,除了这些否定之外,人们还对表格的主要特征达成了积极的共识。这些包括其通常的主观和推测性方法(尝试“论文”意味着尝试,检验),其趋向于否定传统合理性的结构的趋势,尤其是其对自身调解条件的反身参与。1 除了这些否定之外,人们还对表格的主要特征达成了积极的共识。这些包括其通常的主观和推测性方法(尝试“论文”意味着尝试,检验),其趋向于否定传统合理性的结构的趋势,尤其是其对自身调解条件的反身参与。1 除了这些否定之外,人们还对表格的主要特征达成了积极的共识。这些包括其通常的主观和推测性方法(尝试“论文”意味着尝试,检验),其趋向于否定传统合理性的结构的趋势,尤其是其对自身调解条件的反身参与。11个
