Summary

Cinema and Language Lossprovides a radical revaluation of the impact of migration and multilingualism on postwar western cinema. Arguing that the displacement from one linguistic environment to another provokes a profound disturbance of the subject'¬"s relation to both language and reality, Mamula asserts that one of the fundamental effects of trans-linguistic migration is the search for a substitute for language in vision itself '¬ ; a reversal, as it were, of speakinginto seeing. The author examines the problematic encounter between cinema and language loss in films ranging from Billy Wilder'¬"s Sunset Boulevardto Chantal Akerman'¬"sNews from Hometo Michael Haneke'¬"s Hidden. In so doing, she demonstrates that the importance of language loss in the experience of displacement has been undervalued, and that the impact of linguistic displacement on visuality in general and filmic practice in particular deserves a closer look.
