In \u003ci\u003eFilm and the Anarchist Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e, the first comprehensive survey of anarchism in film, Richard Porton deconstructs such stereotypes while offering an authoritative account of films featuring anarchist characters and motifs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the early cinema of Griffith and René Clair, to the work of Godard, Lina Wertmüller, Lizzie Borden and Ken Loach, Porton analyzes portrayals of anarchism in film, presenting commentaries and critiques of such classics as \u003ci\u003eZéro de Conduite\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTout Va Bien\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLove and Anarchy\u003c\/i\u003e. In addition, he provides an excellent guide to the complex traditions of anarchist thought, from Bakunin and Kropotkin to Emma Goldman and Murray Bookchin, disclosing a rich historical legacy that encompasses the Paris Commune, the Haymarket martyrs, the anarcho-syndicalists of the Spanish Civil War, as well as more familiar contemporary avatars like the Situationists and the enragés of May 1968.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Film and the Anarchist Imagination | Richard Porton | Paperback | 9781859842614 | Used: Very Good | Cinema 1715597","offer_id":50844324167938,"sku":"1715597","price":30.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81hCeNaJC-L.jpg?v=1792703562","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/film-and-the-anarchist-imagination","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
