Immundus is what ensues on the collapse of networks of reciprocity that make up the \"world\" as extended semiosis and as habitable environment. At the same time, this book argues, it also describes certain forms of withdrawal of cinematic worldmaking, forcing us to experience and inhabit the space and time of disaster's afterlife. In dialogue with films by Pedro Costa, Lucrecia Martel, Kléber Mendonça Filho, Laura Citarella, Flora Gomes, Lisandro Alonso, and Adirley Queirós, among others, \u003cem\u003eMundus Immundus\u003c\/em\u003e inquires about disaster by invoking some of its most illustrious names: Capitalocene (the relationship of mutual devastation that subsumes bodies and environments), Negrocene (the racialized denial of world that has sustained capitalism since its origins), and Thanatocene (the imbrication between technologies of war and extraction, and of these with forms of spectacle and enjoyment founded on destructiveness). But it also explores the poetics and politics of afterlife-of survivance, re-existence, re-becoming Indigenous-and their manifestations in contemporary cinemas of re-enactment and re-performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56367866315057,"sku":"9781785421655","price":28.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9532\/7537\/files\/gxFeN7skIE9781785421655.webp?v=1789775477","url":"https:\/\/mitchellofficial.com\/products\/mundus-immundus-unworlding-afterlife-and-the-cinema-paperback","provider":"MITCHELL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
