Alexander Kluge: Utopian Cinema, Processes of Transposition German Literature into Film, ed. Christiane Schonfeld (Amsterdam New York: Rodolpi, 2007).

Alexander Kluge's films, television programmes and his other diverse activities contribute to a developed understanding of contemporary politics and culture. He took a version of creative critical theory into spheres of production normally dominated by industrial fabrication. Opportunistic and inventive (and entrepreneurial in the best sense) he made a number of exemplary incisions in the body politic. His radical intertexuality and polysemy reveals the both possibilities and limitations of contemporary cultural spaces.
