Starting with Hannah Arendt's thoughts on the American and French Revolution, it argues that, from a theoretical perspective, revolutions can be understood as describing a relationship between time and movement and that ultimately the spectators and not the actors in a revolution decide its outcome. Focusing on the concepts of 'time, ' 'movement, ' and 'spectators, ' this study develops an understanding of film not as a medium of agitation but as a way of thinking that relates to the idea of historicity that opened up with the American and French Revolution, a way of thinking that can expand our very notion of revolution. The book explores this expansion through an analysis of three audiovisual stagings of revolution: Abel Gance's epic on the French Revolution \u003cem\u003eNapoléon\u003c\/em\u003e, Warren Beatty's essay on the Russian Revolution \u003cem\u003eReds\u003c\/em\u003e, and the miniseries \u003cem\u003eJohn Adams\u003c\/em\u003e about the American Revolution. The author thereby offers a fresh take on the questions of revolution and historicity from the perspective of film studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanno Berger\u003c\/strong\u003e, Freie Universität Berlin, Berlin, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 233\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47409518903474,"sku":"9783110753752","price":138.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/d3cef660958ef1140538240f1b3f52eb.webp?v=1778267719","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/thinking-revolution-through-film-on-audiovisual-stagings-of-political-change-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
