Despite claims about the end of history and the death of cinema,
visual media continue to contribute to our understanding of history
and history-making. In this book, Marcia Landy argues that
rethinking history and memory must take into account shifting
conceptions of visual and aural technologies. With the assistance
of thinkers such as Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Cinema and
Counter-History examines writings and films that challenge
prevailing notions of history in order to explore the philosophic,
aesthetic, and political stakes of activating the past. Marshaling
evidence across European, African, and Asian cinema, Landy engages
in a counter-historical project that calls into question the
certainty of visual representations and unmoors notions of a
history firmly anchored in truth.
