Exposing and illustrating how an ongoing engagement with nihilistic
alienation may contribute to, rather than detract from, the value
of life, Cinematic Nihilism both challenges and builds upon past
scholarship that has scrutinised nihilism in the media, but which
has generally over-emphasised its negative and destructive aspects.
Through case studies of popular films, including Prometheus, The
Dark Knight Rises, Dawn of the Dead and The Human Centipede, and
with chapters on Scotland's cinematic portrayal as both a site of
'nihilistic sacrifice' and as 'nowhere in particular', this book
presents a necessary corrective, re-emphasising the constructive
potential of cinematic nihilism and casting it as a phenomenon that
need not be overcome.
