Making Worlds : Affect and Collectivity in Contemporary European Cinema

二十一世紀見證了經濟不平等、種族排斥和政治仇恨的抬頭，這引起了集體認同和歸屬問題的緊迫性。克勞迪婭·布雷格（Claudia Breger）在《製作世界》中指出，當代歐洲電影提供了思考和感受集體的方式，可以挑戰這些政治趨勢。布雷格（Breger）對主要當代電影的細微讀物，如邁克爾·哈內克（Michael Haneke）​​的《白絲帶》（The White Ribbon），亞歷杭德羅·岡薩雷斯·因納里圖（Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu）的Biutiful，法提赫·阿金（Fatih Akin）的《天堂的邊緣》，阿斯加·法哈迪（Aghar Farhadi）的《分離》（A Separation）和阿基·考里斯梅基（Aki Kaurismaki）的難民三部曲，以及讓·盧卡·戈達爾（Jaki-Luc Godard）和賴納（Rainer）的作品Werner Fassbinder。

通過一種新的電影世界製作模式，布雷格研究了這些作品產生意想不到且不穩定的影響方式，這些影響力促使觀眾想像個人或群體之間的新聯繫。這些電影及其對難民、移民和社區的描寫並不僅僅是通過同情或團結呼籲來抵制政治上對仇恨和恐懼的想像。取而代之的是，它們會產生分層的敏感性，從而有可能對他人的現在、過去和將來的主張更加開放

布雷格借鑒了拉圖爾（Latour），德勒茲（Deleuze）和蘭西埃（Ranciere）的作品，涉及流派和現實主義問題以及電影現代主義的遺產。提供世界當代電影的豐富內容，《製作世界》將想像空間的電影創作理論化，以便找到應對政治仇恨的新方法。

The twenty-first century has witnessed a resurgence of economic inequality, racial exclusion, and political hatred, causing questions of collective identity and belonging to assume new urgency. In Making Worlds, Claudia Breger argues that contemporary European cinema provides ways of thinking about and feeling collectivity that can challenge these political trends. Breger offers nuanced readings of major contemporary films such as Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's Biutiful, Fatih Akin's The Edge of Heaven, Asghar Farhadi's A Separation, and Aki Kaurismaki's refugee trilogy, as well as works by Jean-Luc Godard and Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

Through a new model of cinematic worldmaking, Breger examines the ways in which these works produce unexpected and destabilizing affects that invite viewers to imagine new connections among individuals or groups. These films and their depictions of refugees, immigrants, and communities do not simply counter dominant political imaginaries of hate and fear with calls for empathy or solidarity. Instead, they produce layered sensibilities that offer the potential for greater openness to others' present, past, and future claims.

Drawing on the work of Latour, Deleuze, and Ranciere, Breger engages questions of genre and realism along with the legacies of cinematic modernism. Offering a rich account of contemporary film, Making Worlds theorizes the cinematic creation of imaginative spaces in order to find new ways of responding to political hatred.
