Sociology through the projector

Diken, Bülent. (Author). Laustsen, Carsten B. (Carsten Bagge), 1970- (Added Author).

Summary: Sociology through the Projector takes issue with the question of how contemporary film can help answering the general, abstract but still urgent question: what is the social today? This book explains the performative relation to contemporary social theory in which cinema functions as a tool for social diagnosis.
