Film and the Anarchist Imagination
2020
Overview
Hailed since its initial release, Film and the Anarchist
Imagination offers the authoritative account of films
featuring anarchist characters and motifs. Richard Porton delves
into the many ways filmmakers have portrayed anarchism's long
traditions of labor agitation and revolutionary struggle. While
acknowledging cinema's predilection for ludicrous anarchist
stereotypes, he focuses on films that, wittingly or otherwise,
reflect or even promote workplace resistance, anarchist pedagogy,
self-emancipation, and anti-statist insurrection. Porton ranges
from the silent era to the classics Zéro de Conduite and
Love and Anarchy to contemporary films like The
Nothing Factory while engaging the works of Jean Vigo,
Jean-Luc Godard, Lina Wertmüller, Yvonne Rainer, Ken Loach, and
others. For this updated second edition, Porton reflects on several
new topics, including the negative portrayals of anarchism over the
past twenty years and the contemporary embrace of post-anarchism.
