{"product_id":"grizunun-kokusunu-almak","title":"Smelling the Firedamp","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Since firedamp is a colorless and odorless gas [...], in the past, birds in cages were lowered into mine shafts. When the birds began to tremble or fluff their feathers, the moment of danger was sensed – or thought to be sensed. [...] It is also possible that carefully observing the feathers of these future-seeing birds helped miners develop the ability to 'smell the firedamp' themselves.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDidi-Huberman adds the following question to this anecdote that inspired the book's title: “How do we see the arrival of disaster?” – in other words, “how do we smell the firedamp of history?” In the initial chapters of the book, the author discusses Walter Benjamin’s vision of history, firedamp explosions, films set in mines, the miners who “occupied” their mine in Santa Cruz del Sil, Spain, in 2012, and the miner songs performed by flamenco singer Rocío Márquez, who supported this action with her art; he reflects on disasters in light of images and their relationship with time. Later, he provides a comprehensive analysis of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s \u003cem\u003eLa Rabbia\u003c\/em\u003e [Rage], which he considers a film that succeeded in smelling the firedamp of history – “a startling poetic-documentary construction about the state – historical, anthropological, political, and aesthetic – of the contemporary world.” This analysis once again demonstrates why Pasolini is one of the most important and unique figures of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lemis Yayın","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46817153712371,"sku":"9786050667042","price":344.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/files\/GrizununkKkusunuAlmak_onkapak.jpg?v=1744496940","url":"https:\/\/yemkitabevi.com\/en-us\/products\/grizunun-kokusunu-almak","provider":"YEM Kitabevi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
