Danish director Lars von Trier has produced more than 20 films
since his first appearance with The Elements of Crime in 1984. One
of the most acknowledged - and most controversial - film directors
of our time, Trier's films often escape the representational
production of meaning. In Lars von Trier's Renewal of Film
1984-2014. Signal, Pixel, Diagram scholar Bodil Marie Stavning
Thomsen offers a comprehensive discussion of Lars von Trier's
collected works. Examining Trier's experiments with narrative
forms, genre, camera usage, light, and colour tones, she shows how
Trier's unique ethically involving style activates the viewer's
entire perception apparatus. In understanding this affective
involvement, the author frames the discussion around concepts from
Gilles Deleuze, Alois Riegl, Brian Massumi and others on the haptic
image, the diagram, affect and the signaletic material.
What is the common denominator of Nordic artists and artist groups
like Adel Abidin, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Das Beckwerk, Bjork, Olafur
Eliasson, Hakki, Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, Julie Edel
Hardenberg, Lise Harlev, Kristian von Hornsleth, Sami van Ingen,
Jonas Hassen Khemiri, Sen Lose, HuskMitNavn, Pekka Niskanen, Ellen
Nyman, Oyvind Rimbereid, Annica Karlsson Rixon and Superflex? They
all explore local identity formations and images of nationality and
trans-nationality within a global context. The term 'Nordic' is
indeed constructed historically for political, commercial and
scientific reasons, but as any symbolic universe it obtains a
material sense as a geopolitical 'place' through the collaborations
between the nations involved. The Cartoon Crises and its many
reverberations issuing from Denmark in 2005 became an important
turning point for discussions on national as well as Nordic
identities and values. The new cultural agenda in which local
identities were branded for a global public, concurrent with
attempts in domestic politics to create national safeguards toward
globalization, has indeed been noticed by artists during the last
decade. In light of new global and transnational relations,
contemporary art has requested a renegotiation of the frameworks
constructing national and Nordic communities. All articles in this
book discuss ways in which art seeks to redistribute national and
cultural identity. Common to the artists examined is the drive to
combine cultural images from multiple sources and several media.
Thus, the book also explores how works that express new identity
formations confront the conventional aesthetic production of
meaning and, all in all, it contributes to the examination of how
art reinvents itself when dealing with unresolved issues of
political, national and cultural belonging. (Aarhus University
