| book description |

Ostrannenie (â€˜making it strangeâ€™) has become one of the central concepts of modern artistic practice, ranging over movements including Dada, postmodernism, epic theatre, and science fiction, as well as our response to arts. Coined by the â€˜Russian Formalistâ€™ Viktor Shklovsky in 1917, ostrannenie has come to resonate deeply in Film Studies, where it entered into dialogue with the Brechtian concept of Verfremdung, the Freudian concept of the uncanny and Derrida's concept of diffÃ©rance. Striking, provocative and incisive, the essays of the distinguished film scholars in this volume recall the range and depth of a concept that since 1917 changed the trajectory of theoretical inquiry. European Film Studies â€“ â€˜The Key Debates is a new film series from Amsterdam University Press edited by Annie van den Oever (the founding editor), Ian Christie and Dominique Chateau. The editorsâ€™ ambition is to uncover and track the process of appropriation of critical terms in film theory in order to give the European film heritage the attention it deserves. With contributions from Ian Christie, Yuri Tsivian, Dominique Chateau, Frank Kessler, Laurent Jullier, MiklÃ³s Kiss, Annie van den Oever, Emile Poppe, LÃ¡szlÃ³ Tarnay, Barend van Heusden, AndrÃ¡s BÃ¡lint KovÃ¡cs, and Laura Mulvey, this important study is a wonderful piece of imaginative yet rigorous scholarship.
