In this book, Michael J. Shapiro stages a series of pedagogical
encounters between political theory, represented as a compositional
challenge, and cinematic texts, emphasizing how to achieve an
effective research paper/essay by heeding the compositional
strategies of films. The text's distinctiveness is its focus on the
intermediation between two textual genres. It is aimed at providing
both a conceptual introduction to the politics of aesthetics and a
guide to writing strategies. In its illustrations of encounters
between political theory and cinema, the book's critical edge is
its emphasis on how to intervene in cinematic texts with innovative
conceptual frames in ways that challenge dominant understandings of
life worlds. The Cinematic Political is designed as a teaching
resource that introduces students to the relationship between film
form and political thinking. With diverse illustrative
investigations, the book instructs students on how to watch films
with an eye toward writing a research paper in which a film (or set
of films) constitutes the textual vehicle for political theorizing.
