Description

Cinema has a long history of engaging with the theme of sacrifice. It is on screen that new grand narratives are sketched, new myths rehearsed, and old ones recycled. Sacrifice can provide stories of loss and mourning, betrayal and redemption, death and renewal, destruction and re-creation, apocalypses and the birth of new worlds. This interdisciplinary book explores how cinema engages with sacrifice in its many forms and under different guises, and examines how the filmic constructions, reconstructions and misconstructions of sacrifice affect society, including its sacrificial practices. It was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities.
