Apart from the rather misleadingly titled but nonetheless fascinating Virilio book War and Cinema (Verso) and Friedrich Kittler's various contributions; there's a lot to be said for looking at war as a critical concept: Chris Hables Gray's Postmodern War and manuel de landa's War in the Age of Intelligent Machines for starters; Les Levidow and Kevin Robins anthology on Cyborg Soldiers; the Ars Electronica discussion archives on info-war. More specific to film and likely to be overlooked: Agozino, Biko, 'The Third Debt to the Third World: The Politics of Law and Order in "Camp de Thiaroye"', n36, Autumn 1996, 3-13: on Sembene's film, Senegalese soldiers return to the colony after WWII Finci, Predrag, 'The Work of Art in the Time of War Destruction', n24, Autumn 1993, 5-12: the difficulty of making art in the Balkans (Third text annotated index available at http://www.waikato.ac.nz/film/research/thirdtext/thirdtext.html) and Zizek's argument with Kusturica's Underground in The Plague of Fantasies good luck sean -- Sean Cubitt Screen and Media Studies, Akoranga Whakaata Pürongo University of Waikato, Private Bag 3105, Hamilton, New Zealand T: Dept: +64 (0)7 838 4543 T: Direct: +64 (0)7 856 2289 ext 8604 F: +64 (0)7 838 4767 http://www.waikato.ac.nz/film http://www.ucl.ac.uk/slade/digita http://www.dundee.ac.uk/people/sean/welcome.html
