AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Mee’s erudite analysis of The Horseman, an Australian film that bestrides the much neglected genres of splatter and exploitation cinema, describes what films of its kind can tell us about the operations of Jean-François Lyotard’s libidinal economy.' (Publication abstract)

Notes

  • Epigraph: In lighting the match the child enjoys this diversion (détournement, a word dear to Klossowski) that misspends energy. (Jean-François Lyotard, Acinema,” in The Lyotard Reader)
