Klappentext
This book establishes a dialogue between Yorgos Lanthimos and Giorgio Agamben as a way of interpreting the weird roles, rules, and rituals that define and discipline lives in Lanthimos s early works, from Kinetta to The Killing of a Sacred Deer. By exploring the resonance between Lanthimos s cinema and Agamben s understanding of gesture, this work wants to contribute to a theory of performative power under biopolitical and spectacular modalities of government, focussing in particular on Agamben s ideas of operativity and inoperativity and on the construction and deconstruction of the white bourgeois, normative, and consensual formality of life. In turn, the role gestures play in Lanthimos s critique of patriarchy and of neoliberal forms of vulnerabilisation is used to question Agamben s unspoken affinities with contemporary radical feminism and queer theory.
