The Transparent I: Self/Subject in European Cinema

by Stephen Snyder and Stephen Snyder

This study analyzes the representations of human subjectivity in a number of European films, from Pandora's Box to The American Friend. The various analyses incorporate the issues prominent in current post-structuralist discourse, psychoanalysis, existentialism, and to some degree, contemporary art and science. The study challenges the assumptions of suture theory, while discussing extra-textual relationships between films and culture.
