For There is no Place That Doesn’t See You – on “Minority Report“

09.02.2012

*To the movie “Minority Report“(R: Steven Spielberg; USA 2002)*
*Part of the lecture series: “Narration and Justification in the Cinema“*

Narratives have always been used to legitimize moral and political states. With its audio-visual character, the cinema holds a special status in this context. On the basis of three film examples – “Redacted“, “I’m Not There“ and “Minority Report“, Daniel Feige, Juliane Rebentisch and Josef Früchtl discussed whether and how cinematic narrations contribute–or can contribute–to the legitimation and/or delegitimation of normative attitudes and orders.
