Sinopsis

Emotional Ethics of The Hunger Gamesáexpands the âÇÖethical turnâÇÖ in Film Studies by analysing emotions as a source of ethical knowledge ináThe Hunger Gamesáfilms. It argues that emotions,áincorporated in the thematic and aesthetic organization of these films, reflect a crisis in moralástandards. As such they cultivate ethicaláattitudes towards such phenomena as totalitarianism, the culture of reality television, and the society of spectacle. The focus of the argument is on cinematic aesthetics, which expresses emotionsáin a way that highlights their ethicalásignificance, running the gamut from fearáthrough guiltáand shame, to love, angeráand contempt. The central claim of the book is that these emotionsáare symptomatic of some moraláconflict, which rendersáThe Hunger Gamesáfranchise a meaningful commentary on the affective practice of cinematic ethics.á'The Hunger Gamesámovies have become iconic symbols for resistance across the globe. Tarja Laine proposes that this is not caused by their status as exciting cinematic spectacles, but by their engaging our emotions. Laine usesáThe Hunger Gamesáas key texts for understanding our world, demonstrating that ethics do not originate from rational considerations, far removed from those mucky things called emotions. But rather that emotions are at the core of cinematic ethics.'-William Brown, Author ofáSupercinema: Film-Philosophy for the Digital Ageá'In this elegantly written exploration of the relationship between aesthetics and emotion ináThe Hunger Gamestrilogy, Tarja Laine illuminates the power of film to embody ethical conflict. Deftly interweaving film-philosophy and close analysis, Laine traces how these films mobilise complex emotions, nuancing our thinking about cinema and the spectator. LaineâÇÖs book takesáThe Hunger Gamesáfilms seriously, demonstrating with verve why they matter.'-Catherine Wheatley,áSenior Lecturer in Film Studies, KingâÇÖs College London, UKá'In this fresh, engaging, and insightful study ofáThe Hunger Gamesáfilm trilogy, Tarja Laine explores the crucial role that emotions play in appreciation of the ethical qualities of the movies. She forges productive dialogues between a range of film theory, scholarship on moral philosophy, and debates on ethics, as she performs a multi-layered investigation of the aesthetic qualities of the trilogy, the multiple emotions embodied in these qualities, and the philosophical-ethical insights that are in turn embedded in these emotions. The cinematic connection between emotions and ethics that emerges through LaineâÇÖs detailed textual analyses confronts us with complex moral dilemmas while enriching our aesthetic experience.'á-Sarah Cooper,áProfessor, Film Studies Department, KingâÇÖs College London,á UK
