Delezova filmozofija i trijumfalni narativ američkog ratnog filma.

The paper written by Sandra Nikolić, film and media professor, explores the basic thesis of a very influential philosophy of film (filmosophy) by French thinker Gilles Deleuze, such as the “movement image” (L’image-mouvement) and the “time image” (L’imagetemps), on the example of the American narrative cinema thematising war and similar issues. Explaining how film in the US changed over time, for example because of the attack on the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001, the author applies Deleuze’s categories as a fruitful manner of understanding the cinematic presentation of war and destruction in the most influential cinema of the West. She also explains the motifs such as “terrorism” and the “war on terror”, relying in addition on the examples of films by non-American authors that mirror the mentioned tendencies or that have their themes and ideas created in contrast to the American model (for example, to the presentation of war in small-scale, European cinema). With series (such as 24) and films ranging from works by Adrian Lyne and Oliver Stone to films by J. J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg, the American culture, considers the author, has managed to dominate on global level, creating new forms of global consumption and a new, contemporized culture of imperialism.
