Cinema has a long history of engaging with the theme of sacrifice.
Given its capacity to stimulate the imagination and resonate across
a wide spectrum of human experiences, sacrifice has always
attracted filmmakers. It is on screen that the new grand narratives
are sketched, the new myths rehearsed, and the old ones recycled.
Sacrifice can provide stories of loss and mourning, betrayal and
redemption, death and renewal, destruction and re-creation,
apocalypses and the birth of new worlds. The contributors to this
volume are not just scholars of film but also students of religion
and literature, philosophers, ethicists, and political scientists,
thus offering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the
relationship between cinema and sacrifice. They explore how cinema
engages with sacrifice in its many forms and under different
guises, and examine how the filmic constructions, reconstructions
and misconstructions of sacrifice affect society, including its
sacrificial practices. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities.
