The Tarantinian Ethics
The screenplays and films of Quentin Tarantino raise profound comic and ethical dilemmas. Developing ideas from Lacanian psychoanalysis, Botting and Wilson explore ethical issues in relation to Tarantino's work, postmodernity and recent cultural theory. They argue that Tarantino's texts provide a provocative and telling contribution to theorized accounts of contemporary culture. The term “Tarantinian” has been coined to refer to a set of sampled, self-authorizing signs that are cinematically assembled in processes of “consuming-producing-expending” in the general context of a postmodern capitalism that enjoins excess.
