By inviting the viewer into the socioemotional layers of homeless sites, hospice-like spaces, assisted-suicide intersubjectivities, and political displacements, Markovitch revitalizes the complexity of the margins in novel and expansive ways. Such dynamically intertwined socioemotional and sensory engagements at and with the margins are conceptualized in the book as contested marginality. This concept refers to the complexly interpersonal and ostensibly unanticipated manifestations of agentic potential through sensory experiences in peripheric sites and circumstances. Such aesthetic considerations of the margins also bring to light fecund modes for broader sociocultural critiques in Markovitch's films.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Inela Selimovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Visionaries: The Work of Women Filmmakers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399549196","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45265323655305,"sku":"9781399549196","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_04cdd5a5-02bf-4f5d-8606-82ce2efcc19c.jpg?v=1771311302","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-paula-markovitch-contested-marginality-9781399549196","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
