Cinema and Language Loss provides the first sustained exploration
of the relationship between linguistic displacement and visuality
in the filmic realm, examining in depth both its formal expressions
and theoretical implications. Combining insights from
psychoanalysis, philosophy and film theory, the author argues that
the move from one linguistic environment to another profoundly
destabilizes the subject's relation to both language and reality,
resulting in the search for a substitute for language in vision
itself - a reversal, as it were, of speaking into seeing. The
dynamics of this shift are particularly evident in the works of
many displaced filmmakers, which often manifest a conflicted
interaction between language and vision, and through this question
the signifying potential, and the perceptual ambiguities, of cinema
itself. In tracing the encounter between cinema and language loss
across a wide range of films - from Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard
to Chantal Akerman's News from Home to Michael Haneke's Cache -
Mamula reevaluates the role of displacement in postwar Western film
and makes an original contribution to film theory and philosophy
based on a reconsideration of the place of language in our
experience and understanding of cinema.
