Description: This study creates and develops a concept called the untimely-image. The untimely-image concerns the clearing for and the expression of figures of “potential” in thought in the form of moving-images. The aim is to form a critical framework for evaluating and conceptualizing political film as expressive, not of the new itself but of its “untimely” contours. An on-going theme throughout the book is how to think of the contours of the new in relation to the cult of the new in consumer culture and in relation to the larger mechanisms of advanced capitalism.
