ArchiveologyWalter Benjamin and Archival Film Practices\nAuthor(s): Catherine Russell\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Duke University Press, United States\nImprint: Duke University Press\nISBN-13: 9780822370574, 978-0822370574\nSynopsis\nIn Archiveology Catherine Russell uses the work of Walter Benjamin to explore how the practice of archiveology-the reuse, recycling, appropriation, and borrowing of archival sounds and images by filmmakers-provides ways to imagine the past and the future. Noting how the film archive does not function simply as a place where moving images are preserved, Russell examines a range of films alongside Benjamin's conceptions of memory, document, excavation, and historiography. She shows how city films such as Nicole Vdrs's Paris [tel] and ThomAndersen's Los Angeles Plays Itself [tel] reconstruct notions of urban life and uses Christian Marclay's The Clock [tel] to draw parallels between critical cinephilia and Benjamin's theory of the phantasmagoria.
