In "Like A Film," Timothy Murray investigates how the cinematic
apparatus has invaded the theory of culture, weaving together the
disparate psycho-political' fabrics of cultural production,
psychoanalysis and politically marked subject positions. The book
analyzes the impact of the apparatus on a wide range of cultural
practices: experimental art, from the film-making of Yvonne Rainer
and Derek Jarman to Laurence Olivier's "Othello;" social and
political narratives of race, sexuality, feminism and ecology; the
visual theory of Lyotard, Torok, Barthes, Zizek, Silverman and
Laplanche; articulations of history from the Renaissance visions of
Shakespeare and Caravaggio to modern sexual and political fantasy.
Murray suggests that the many destabilizing traumas of culture
remain accessible to us because they are structured so much like
film.
Responding directly to multicultural debates over the value of
theory and the aim of artistic practice, "Like A Film" addresses
questions of cultural identity, the role of Continental
psychoanalysis and philosophy, and the ideological importance of
artistic form.
