Summary

"Rodowick shows us that the labor of theory is vital and ongoing and that figural thinking is a crucial element for what remains of creative activity and micropolitics in a world where agency appears to be close to extinction."--Tom Conley, author of "The Graphic Unconscious in Early Modern French Writing"

Author Biography

D. N. Rodowick is Professor of Film Studies at King's College, London.
