"Film theory and its emphasis on political and ideological readings of films dominated
much of cinema studies in the '70s and '80s. Since then, in response to what some
view as the shortcomings of theoretical approaches, a variety of other methods have
emerged or reemerged. In many ways, as Nico Baumbach argues, "Anti-Grand Theory" has
won the day but its victory is, in part, based on misreadings or simplifications of
'70s film theory. In particular, Baumbach views contemporary critical approaches to
film as abandoning the crucial and productive ways in which theory understands the
relationship between cinema, politics, and art. Baumbach does not advocate a return
to the orthodoxies of the seventies but rather reads the work of Rancière, Badiou,
and Agamben as providing new ways of thinking about the history of film theory and
how film creates its own way of thinking about politics. Moreover, at a time when
digital technologies are asking us to think of film and the film image in new ways,
the work of these thinkers once again asks, "What is Cinema?" but in a more expansive
sense that can help us account for transformations in how moving images are produced,
distributed, and exhibited in the twenty-first century"
