Description: This groundbreaking book is an incisive and comprehensive analysis of Harun Farocki's oeuvre, shedding new light on his media experimentation and writings across platforms and venues.
Review Quotes: Nora Alter's book is an exemplary labor of love: a thoroughly absorbing engagement with Harun Farocki's films that illuminates his legacy and allows us to better understand where his work has left us--not just as film scholars or intellectuals, but as humans and citizens, trying to find a compass amid the precarious history of the twentieth and twenty-first century. Harun Farocki: Forms of Intelligence approaches Farocki's films with the very intelligence, care, sophistication, and open-mindedness his work continues to call for and deserves.--Lutz Koepnick, author of Resonant Matter: Sound, Art, and the Promise of Hospitality
