Journal Article
THE POLITICS OF CLOSE ANALYSIS: Introduction
2022
Overview
The idea for 'The politics of Close Analysis, and its Object' came about in 2020. The late 2010s has a special significance for being a moment when public reflection on the relationship of cultural representation to historical and current power structures that oppress particular peoples and communities gathered pace and prominence. In 2018, the film industry started to acknowledge systemic abuse and misogyny brought to prominence by the 'Times Up!' campaign, in 2019 many declared climate change an emergency, and in 2020 many reckoned with the onset of a global pandemic, alongside protests over the continued brutal killings of black people by police, and historical attachments to slavery and colonialism. Public demand for cinema, television and news media to openly address these issues of social and climate justice have grown over the same period. Interest has grown, too, in the politics of film curation and programming, and in film festivals' responsibility to better curate and present existing and emerging filmmaking that can speak to or reflect these questions.
