Titled after its heroine, the history teacher Gabi Teichert, The Patriot is, however, much more than just a curious story about a headstrong pedagogue intent on teaching kids a version of German history that does not end in war and death: it is one of the finest examples of Kluge's exploration of the poetic force of Frankfurt School Critical Theory. This book pursues The Patriot's conception as a cinematic extension of the theoretical agenda that Kluge and social philosopher Oskar Negt began developing just as the Frankfurt School's first generation was ending. It will guide twenty-first-century English-language readers past superficial interpretations of the film's engagement with German history. By asking how and why The Patriot brings the twin concepts of history and obstinacy (the inherent human propensity to resist capitalism's forces of expropriation and alienation) to the screen, this book revitalizes Kluge's film for the new millennium"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Kluge, Alexander, $d 1932- $x History and criticism. 630 00 $a Patriotin (Motion picture) 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Germany (West) $x History. 650 0 $a Patriotism in motion pictures. 650 0 $a History in motion pictures. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Langston, Richard, 1970- $t Patriot $d Rochester, NY : Camden House, 2021 $z 9781787448636 $w (DLC) 2021018843 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102015709.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=63AE80EC0C7C11EC8E70AEE442ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
