Opis

The work introduces the rapidly burgeoning field of medieval film studies, viewed through the lenses of Lacanian psychoanalysis and the Deleuzian philosophy of the time-image; explores how a vast array of films contributes to the modern vision of life in the Middle Ages; is concerned with how time itself functions in cinematic representations of the medieval; and offers detailed considerations of specific examples of representations of medievalism in recent films, including First Knight, A Knights Tale, The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur, Night Watch, and The Da Vinci Code.
