Sommario/riassunto

Alexander Kluge is best known as a founding member of the New German Cinema movement, but his work has spanned a number of genres and media. This wide-ranging book assembles a diverse selection of texts, from nonfiction writings and short stories by Kluge, to critical essays by renowned international scholars on Kluge's work, to transcripts of interviews with the artist himself. A valuable collection for students and scholars in the fields of film, television, and media studies, 'Alexander Kluge: Raw Materials for the Imagination' is a perfect introduction to Kluge's key themes and ideas.
