Senses of Cinema: "James Benning's Art of Landscape: Ontological, Pedagogical, Sacrilegious"

The latest issue of Senses of Cinema is now available on-line. Among the featured articles is my own piece on James Benning's non-narrative 13 Lakes, "James Benning's Art of Landscape: Ontological, Pedagogical, Sacrilegious," which I have linked here. To summarize, I examine the theoretical implications of the work's form before contextualizing it in opposition to the environmentalist movement. It's lengthy, but worth the effort, I hope.

Also featured are two articles by friends of mine: Vicente Rodriguez-Ortega's "Snuffing" Hollywood: Transmedia Horror in Tesis" and R. Emmett Sweeney's "The Hither Side of Solutions: Bodies and Landscape in L'intrus. Both Vicente and Rob are very talented writers, whose work is well worth the time. Check their pieces out as well.
