Article: Exacting the Trace: Re-archiving Film Historiography in PHOENIX (Christian Petzold, 2014)
Abstract
The article proposes reading Christian Petzold’s PHOENIX (2014) as another form of what Catherine Russel has termed ‘archiveology’. Turning to Giorgio Agamben’s notion of gesture and its reliance on Walter Benjamin’s concept of language, it suggests that Petzold’s engagement with traces of the past in his film materializes through deconstructing film historiography and subsequently re-establishing it. Thus, PHOENIX emerges as another form of ‘archiveology’ through a reclamation of film history.
