Ghosts are first and foremost figurations of power. By giving intersubjective communication a form that can challenge anthropocentrism and Western conceptualizations of Nature, ghosts have the ability to generate alternative histories. This renegotiation of past events is particularly important in the context of colonialism.

Practically anything can be a model of or for something else. What characterizes models is rather their specific reductive relationality, which often promotes understanding but is always generative rather than merely representational. The essays in Breaking and Making Models engage with the normative and performative qualities of models, their aesthetic and political dimensions, and their world-making potentials. Bringing such perspectives into a broad interdisciplinary dialogue, this book explores ways to work creatively with models.

The pioneers of what has been labelled New Queer Cinema laid the foundation for a Queer Post-Cinema — a movement in which artists experiment with technology in innovative ways. Through original readings of Todd Haynes’s early films, Sharon Hayes and Yael Bartana’s videos and installations, Su Friedrich’s digital video Seeing Red, Charlie Prodgers’s iPhone film Bridgit, and Claire Denis’s science-fiction film Highlife, this monograph shows how artists are creating a new form of resistance in the time of the digital image and generative AI.
