Why might interdependence, the idea that we are made up of our
relations, be horrifying? On the surface, interdependence-the idea
that individuals are each made up of their relations-appears to be
a beautiful thing. Ecology, social theory, and the driving forces
of digital media seem to agree that more and deeper connections to
others are better. Yet there is a dark side of interdependence,
too, that remains hidden away. Interdependence threatens the
western philosophical ideal of individualism, and this threat lurks
unseen in the backs of our minds like a dark spectre. Philosophy
can give the contours of this spectre, and film can shine a light
on its shadowy details. Together, they reveal a horror of
relations. Contributors to this volume interrogate the question of
interdependence through analyses of contemporary film and give
voice to new perspectives on its meaning. Conceived before and
written during the COVID-19 pandemic and through a period of deep
social unrest, this volume illuminates a dark reality that is both
perennial and timely.
