Each chapter engages with a distinct aspect of time: metapoetics, trauma and the afterlife.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlain Resnais' \u003ci\u003eLast Year at Marienbad\u003c\/i\u003e (1961) and Jean-Luc Godard's \u003ci\u003eContempt\u003c\/i\u003e (1963) illuminate metapoetics, while Deleuze's concept of the “crystal image” reveals how films and the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e interweave past, present and future. Case studies from both works highlight the temporal complexity of Homeric epic. Resnais' \u003ci\u003eHiroshima mon amour\u003c\/i\u003e (1959) explores trauma, paralleling Odysseus' fragmented memories, while Theo Angelopoulos' \u003ci\u003eUlysses' Gaze\u003c\/i\u003e (1995) and Coppola's \u003ci\u003eApocalypse Now\u003c\/i\u003e (1979) engage with death, exile and return. By applying Deleuze's theory, modern films are placed in dialogue with ancient texts, offering fresh insights into Homeric temporality and the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e's themes of metapoetics, trauma and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBen Ferris\u003c\/b\u003e is a Tutor and Lecturer of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Sydney, Australia.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 February 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350579606\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51669937717388,"sku":"9781350579606","price":103.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_7d093c68-65f4-4703-a226-3b6cc50878c0.jpg?v=1785204737","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350579606","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
