Journal Article
David Cronenberg: The Secular Auteur as Critic of Religion
2012
Overview
The late Melanie Wright succinctly summed up a key problem facing the subfield of religion and film with the following syllogism: films are about 'life' and its meaning, religion is about 'life' and its meaning, all films are 'religious.' Wright argued that inasmuch as this syllogism is the unacknowledged operating principle in the religious analysis of film, then said analysis is \"effectively meaningless.\" Religion and film continues to be a growing subfield that is showing signs of diversifying in terms of methodologies as well as subject matter. Most religious studies analyses of particular films up until now have come from a Christian theological, archetypal-mythological, and/or normative-ethical perspective, though there is also an important growing body of work on non-Western religions and film. Here, Siegler discusses the relation of film and religion and examines the themes in David Cronenberg's films.
