Discovers the disruptive power of the musical moment in film
DREAMS OF DIFFERENCE, SONGS OF THE SAME: The Musical Moment in Film
By Amy Herzog
University of Minnesota Press | 248 pages | 2009
ISBN 978-0-8166-6087-2| hardcover | $75.00
ISBN 978-0-8166-6088-9| paperback | $25.00
Musical spectacles are excessive and abstract, reconfiguring time and
space and creating intense bodily responses. Amy Herzog's engaging
work examines those instances where music and movement erupt from
within more linear narrative frameworks. The representational
strategies found in these films are often formulaic, repeating
familiar story lines and stereotypical depictions of race, gender,
and class. Yet she finds the musical moment contains a powerful
disruptive potential.
"Amy Herzog's study is one of the first significant monographic
studies of Deleuze and Cinema after D. N. Rodowick's Gilles Deleuze's
Time Machine. She makes an important contribution to the genre of the
musical, and to the study of music as a phenomenon that belongs to
the history of film and video." -Gregg Lambert, author of Who's
Afraid of Deleuze and Guattari?
