Testimony, ethics and art in the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben: on the concept of “the inappropriable”
Abstract
The following article offers a critic itinerary that takes into account the wide range of operations aimed to deconstruct Hollywood cinema with a re-montage and transformative treatment of its movies. The mayor goal pursues to argue how and why, through the appropriation and a subsequent semantic displacement of that cultural heritage typified by a corporative and hegemonic industry, found footage cinema stands as an extraordinary meta-critic and self-referential second degree practice that enables reflection on Hollywood cinema’s dynamics by inhabiting its own signification structures.
