/Art and humanity, rebellion and justice. /Film, Negation and 
Freedom/takes these most fundamental of Romantic concerns and uses them 
to reinvigorate the intellectual underpinnings of film study. Will 
Kitchen provokes a re-examination of the very nature of cinema, as well 
as of modern intellectual history, through extended discussion of two of 
its most unique practitioners./

/Compelling and informative, rich in erudition, aligning Morse Peckham 
on contemporary Romanticism with Adorno’s negative dialectics and 
Jacques Rancière on dissensus, /Film, Negation, and Freedom/ tells us 
how and why films of years past are vital to critical theory and 
practice today./

/Ambiguity and complexity are the foundation for thinking about freedom, 
and Will Kitchen’s book provides a clear engagement with these ideas 
through romanticism and cinema. This book demonstrates a new way of 
thinking about the political ramifications of romanticism and the way in 
which cinema can be a model for freedom and resistance./
