Dialectical Modes of Nature in Terrence Malick’s ‘The Thin Red Line’

Dialectical Modes of Nature in Terrence Malick’s ‘The Thin Red Line’ is an article published recently in the Spring edition of the NECSUS European Journal of Media Studies. This article is part of a special section on 'Greenness' and on the relationship between media, ecology, and environmental criticism. 

In the article I demonstrate that there are three different, interrelated modes of nature in Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line (1998). I suggest that these modes represent some of the different ways that human beings can be involved with nature and also the various ways human beings can know and experience nature. I further argue that this multifaceted presentation of nature is one way that Malick expresses a form of dialectical materialism in his work.
