Laurence A. Rickels offers analyses of Ulrike Ottinger's films, as well
as her photographic artworks, situated within a dazzling thought
experiment centered on the history of art cinema. In addition to
commemorating the death of a once-vital art form, this book also
affirms Ottinger's defiantly optimistic turn toward the documentary
film as a means of mediating present clashes between tradition and
modernity, between the local and the global.
Laurence A. Rickels is professor of German and comparative literature,
as well as adjunct professor in the departments of art and film and
media studies, at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is
also Sigmund Freud Professor of Media and Philosophy at the European
Graduate School in Saas Fee, Switzerland. His writing is renowned for
its stylistic experimentation, and as a theorist he takes seriously the
task of finding form for thought.
