Toward Metamodernism: The Phenomenon of ‘‘Slow’’ Cinema
https://doi.org/10.69975/2074-0832-2024-59-1-122-133
Abstract
The article examines the history of “slow” cinema. An analysis of theoretical works devoted to the problem suggests that this phenomenon resonates with the concept of metamodernism introduced by T. Vermeulen and R. van den Akker in the book “Metamodernism: Historicity, Affect and Depth after Postmodernism”. The comparison of the two trends — “slow” cinema and metamodernism — givesa more profound insight into the prospects and direction of the cultural and historical process of the first third of the 21st century.
