Jolted Images brings together a large cast of mainstream and
avant-garde cineastes, artists, photographers, comics creators, poets,
and more, to reflect on a wide range of phenomena from the realms of
cinema and visual culture in the Yugoslav region, broader Europe, and
North America. Far from a staid monograph, the book takes a cue from
filmmaker Du¿an Makavejev, who once wrote that there are times when it
is necessary "to jolt art, no matter what the outcome"; to that end, the
book infuses its analysis with playful, creative transfiguration of the
material at hand.
