Imaginary Films in Literature

[ish mailian]

 Edited by Stefano Ercolino, Massimo Fusillo, Mirko Lino, and Luca Zenobi
REVIEW: Scholars of literature in various languages explore how works
of literature describe and represent movies that do not exist outside
the narrative. They consider the aesthetics of imaginary films,
hybridization, failed cinema, the politics of imaginary films, and the
technological imagery. Among the topics are the killing vision: David
Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, memory and cinema in Tom McCarthy's
Remainder, Kurt Pinthus and the theoretical debate on the birth of
cinema in Germany, literature and cinema in Starnone and Piccolo, and
Alpdrücken and the spectrum of power in Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas
Pynchon.
