Quentin Tarantino and film theoryaesthetics and dialectics in late postmodernity /[electronic resource] :by Federico Pagello. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2020. - viii, 210 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction - From High to Late Postmodernism -- Part One - The Aesthetics of Late Postmodernism -- Chapter 1 - Absolute Style -- Chapter 2: Space as History -- Chapter 3 - Time as Language -- Part Two - The Return of Dialectics -- Chapter 4 - Narrative and Subjectivity -- Chapter 5 - The "Vanishing Point" of Sexual Difference -- Chapter 6 - The Endless End of History -- Conclusion - Godard with Tarantino: Cinema as Enjoyment.

This book examines a set of theoretical perspectives that critically engage with the notion of postmodernism, investigating whether this concept is still useful to approach contemporary cinema. This question is explored through a discussion of the films written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, largely regarded as the epitome of postmodern cinema and considered here as theoretical contributions in their own right. Each chapter first presents key ideas proposed by a specific theorist and then puts them in conversation with Tarantino's films. Jacques Rancière's theory of art is used to reject postmodernism's claims about the 'death' of the aesthetic image in contemporary cinema. Fredric Jameson's and Slavoj Zižek's dialectical thinking is mobilized to challenge simplistic, ideological readings of postmodern cinema in general, and Tarantino's films in particular. Finally, the direct influence of Carol Clover's psychoanalytical approach to the horror genre on Tarantino's work is discussed to prove the director's specific contribution to a theoretical understanding of contemporary film aesthetics.
