Columbo: Paying Attention 24/7, by David Martin-Jones
Full text linkThe dedication of a single authored monograph to one television show is becomingincreasingly rare. The BFI unceremoniously dropped their TV Classics series ten years ago;Manchester University Press’s indefatigable Television Series now produces books on entiregenres alongside their volumes that focus on particular auteurs. Given that commercialimperative to cover as many television programmes as possible within one study, theproduction of David Martin-Jones’ book is an achievement in and of itself.Columbo: Paying Attention 24/7 is peppered with insightful facts and original analyses.The aesthetic and ideological comparisons drawn between other Cop Dramas of the same erameans anyone with a critical interest in the development of American detective series will needthis book as an essential point of reference. Additionally, the regular comparisons made withcontemporary popular series including shows as leftfield as Game of Thrones⎯in what MartinJones terms “flash forwards”⎯will prove a useful tool when demonstrating to undergraduateshow Columbo continues to maintain a strong presence in popular culture.The book, however, is principally a philosophical inquiry into how attention is shapedin late twentieth-century society and how Columbo participates in this shaping of attention.Thus, with a mixed degree of success, Martin-Jones treats Columbo as a historical artefactthrough which to illuminate America’s change from a nation at the frontier of the Cold War toa beacon of neoliberal globalism.<br/
Cinema Against Doublethink: Ethical Encounters with the Lost Pasts of World History, by David Martin-Jones
Full text linkTrue empathy is not a total understanding of the other, the gait of one in the satisfied knowledge of a walk in the other’s shoes, but an encounter with empathy’s own limits, the impossibility of access to the other’s experiences and histories, an act of hesitation at the edge of an irreducible abyssal distance. What David Martin-Jones does in his bold and brilliant Cinema Against Doublethink is to extend this Levinasian insight to a perspective on world history and the lost pasts of the Global South. By analysing films where “cinematic depictions of the past are aesthetically structured like ethical encounters with others” (2), Martin-Jones diagnoses and exposes a trend in world cinema (what he calls a “world of cinemas”) to decentre Eurocentric and colonialist historical narratives through forcing an encounter with histories that do not fit the singular narrative decreed by colonial modernity. This is framed by Martin-Jones through the Orwellian notion of doublethink as the spinning of a political narrative of the past at odds with the facts
