The Persistence of History by Vivian Sobchack

The Persistence of Historyexamines how the moving image has completely altered traditional modes of historical thought and representation. Exploring a range of film and video texts, fromThe Ten Commandmentsto the Rodney King video, from the projected work of documentarian Errol Morris to Oliver Stone'sJFKand Spielberg'sSchindler's List, the volume questions the appropriate forms of media for making the incoherence and fragmentation of contemporary history intelligible.
