<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Establishes resonance as a critical and conceptual paradigm for film analysis bringing together, for the first time, the work of three of the leading figures in European film: Agnès Varda, Michael Haneke and Jean-Luc Nancy.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><ul></ul> <p>Since the pioneering work of Vivian Sobchack, Laura U. Marks and Jennifer M. Barker, film studies has increasingly embraced multisensory spectatorship. Such approaches privilege a carnal vision and knowledge of the world. <em>Vital Resonances</em> furthers this work and attunes to what is a foundational, yet overlooked, principle of film studies' bodily turn: resonance. In keeping with the soft touch that characterises some of this turn's critical literature - the feel of velvet, the (frustrated) tactility of a sari, the skin of a lover's body - resonance has been brushed over. Through the work of three leading figures in European cinema, Agnès Varda, Michael Haneke and Jean-Luc Nancy, this book establishes resonance as a critical and conceptual paradigm for film analysis, transforming it from a footnote to the bodily turn and finally placing it at the forefront of our fleshy encounter with film.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Since the pioneering work of Vivian Sobchack, Laura U.
