An Oceanic Feeling: Cinema and the Sea

Erika Balsom

4.9/5 (20129 ratings)

Description:What is oceanic feeling? For Sigmund Freud, it is the sensation of an unbreakable bond between oneself and the outside world, a quasi-sublime state in which the integrity of the self is lost, or a least compromised, in a feeling of limitlessness, unboundedness, and interconnectedness.An Oceanic Feeling: Cinema and the Sea takes Freud's metaphor literally, returning this sense of "belonging inseparably to the external world as a whole" to its aquatic origins to explore how the ocean forges connections between people, between communities, and between the human and nonhuman. Across five themes - the elemental contingencies of water, the fascination of submarine cinematography, representations of littoral labour, approaches to the Middle Passage and illegalized migration, and the materiality of global maritime circulation - An Oceanic Feeling drifts idiosyncratically through the history of cinematic representations of the sea. From Hollywood to documentary and the avant-garde, it searches for reflections on what it means o belong to the whole of a world in our time of ecological, humanitarian and political emergency.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
