Deleuze, Cinema and National Identity
How is national identity produced through narrative time? How do mixtures of movement-image and time-image in contemporary cinema rewrite histories of war, reunification, crisis, and the global city?
CORE QUESTION
How is national identity produced through narrative time? How do mixtures of movement-image and time-image in contemporary cinema rewrite histories of war, reunification, crisis, and the global city?
CONTRIBUTION
Martin-Jones relocates Deleuze's image taxonomy across national contexts including North America, Britain, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Italy, and Poland, demonstrating the inseparability of form and historical politics. Within a single film, movement-image and time-image deterritorialize and reterritorialize one another. Temporal fracture may dismantle triumphalist history or be recaptured by national myth.
READING ROUTE
Begin with the chapters on history and memory, establishing the relation between narrative time and national archaeology. In the global city, Gulf War, post-9/11, and Pacific Rim studies, draw two lines for each film: how historical time is disrupted and how the ending reorganizes action and identity. Then test the model with atlas world-cinema cases, specifying where films modify the taxonomy in return.
