""Crash "is an extraordinarily original intervention in contemporary 'technophilic' discourses (even critical ones) focused on speed and mobility. As it resonates through a variety of cinematic and literary texts, Karen Beckman views the 'car crash' vividly (and viscerally) as a startling visual image, narrative thematic, and critical metaphor for what drives our contradictory desires for 'automobility, ' inertia, feeling, and community on a collision course both productive and destructive. As she moves across theories and disciplines, Beckman's textual and cultural analyses come together in a work that is passionate, illuminating, and politically engaged. "Crash" is a major contribution to film and media studies, comparative literature, art history, and cultural studies and, indeed, is a model of interdisciplinary scholarship."--Vivian Sobchack, author of "Carnal Thoughts: Embodiment and Moving Image Culture"
