What was the role of cultural collectives in the formation of a 'weird history' of Greek cinema? And how did cinema and other cultural forms respond to a sense of Crisis and an ever expansive management of life that we have now learnt to call biopolitics? This book uses such questions in order to establish a cinematic and cultural history of Greece during the last difficult decade in an engaged and highly original manner. It focuses on key films from the post-2009 'New' or 'Weird Wave' of Greek cinema, proposing the Greek Weird Wave as a paradigmatic cinema movement of biopolitical realism. At once representing, reframing and reimagining the present, the Greek Weird Wave points to a much larger development in World Cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Dimitris Papanikolaou is Associate Professor of Modern Greek Studies and Fellow of St Cross College at the University of Oxford.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50508692193554,"sku":"9781474436328","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_74ea25a3-a99f-4230-9388-b9a26ccd41c8.jpg?v=1730879372","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/greek-weird-wave-a-cinema-of-biopolitics-9781474436328","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
