Philosophy of Film Without Theory de Craig Fox

Philosophy of Film Without Theory: Palgrave Film Studies and Philosophy

Editat de Craig Fox, Britt Harrison
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 apr 2023
This book challenges the long-standing presumption that serious philosophical engagement with film and television must be theoretical. It demonstrates, by example, how philosophy of film and film studies can move beyond the methodological assumption that understands philosophical to mean theoretical. In seventeen specially commissioned essays, one in-depth interview, and one reprint, leading philosophers and film scholars exploit the approaches, arguments, and insights of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Stanley Cavell, Iris Murdoch, Augustine, Berys Gaut, Noël Carroll, and Ordinary Language Philosophy, in exploring, amongst others, Gravity, Lone Star, The Handmaid’s Tale, Le notti di Cabiria, Dunkirk, L'Année dernière à Marienbad, Visitors, The Night it Rained, Philadelphia Story, Shoah, Mary Magdalene, Psycho, Blue Jasmine, Three Colours: Red, War Games, and Histoire(s) du Cinéma. In so doing, this collection argues forthe power of theory-free philosophy and film studies as a way to expand our humanistic understanding.

Recenzii

“In many ways, this edited collection of eighteen original essays represents both a second wave in post-theory film-thinking, and an entirely new point of departure. … This book follows in the path of titles such as Read and Goodenough’s Film as Philosophy (2005) … as an extremely welcome contribution to the field, whose variety provides much ground for future dialogue.” (Alexis Gibbs, Film and Philosophy, Vol. 28, 2024)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“This book offers a welcome and original contribution to the field: a Wittgenstein-inspired humanistic approach to cinema that argues for a philosophy of film ‘without theory’… an original contribution to contemporary discussions of film and philosophy.”
