This monumental collection of essays and commentaries offers an essential tribute to Ottingers importance. Accessible, enlightening and scholarly, the breadth and comprehensiveness of Angela McRobbies Ulrike Ottinger: Film, Art and the Ethnographic Imagination, will undoubtedly introduce her work to new audiences. This important book achieves two striking things: it demonstrates how contemporary Ottinger will always be and cements her legacy and reputation as one of the most significant and influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. -- Stella Bruzzi FBA, Dean of Arts and Humanities and Professor of Film Studies, UCLThe wonderfully heterodox nature of Ulrike Ottingers work is captured here by leading scholars from a number of fields, lending this collection of essays a prismatic quality. Paying homage to the variety of form, from film and photography to sculpture and installations, and always with an eye to artifice, what comes into focus above all else is Ottingers unending romance with performance and provocation. The currents of thought travelling through these essays explore the ways in which the performative in Ottingers work meets the particularity of place, only to confound the idea that one is fluid and the other fixed; indeed, a documentary may turn out to be a fable, and often does. Much more than a guide to Ottingers prodigious output, although it serves that purpose too, this book provides a timely critical engagement with one of the most prolific and singular artists of our times. -- Janet Harbord, Queen Mary, University of London Details ISBN1789389364 Author Prof. Angela McRobbie Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781789389364 Format Hardcover Imprint Intellect Books Subtitle Film, Art and the Ethnographic Imagination Place of Publication Bristol Country of Publication United Kingdom Edited by Angela McRobbie Illustrations 20 Illustrations, black and white Audience Professional & Vocational ISBN-10 1789389364 Publication Date 2024-06-24 UK Release Date 2024-06-24 Alternative 9781835950609 Pages 278 Publisher Intellect We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
