  • A Theory of Cinematic Selfhood & Practices of Neoliberal Portraiture
    Cinema of the Self: A Theory of Cinematic Selfhood & Practices of Neoliberal Portraiture Milosz Paul Rosinski Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge June 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Declaration This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. The dissertation is formatted in accordance to the Modern Humanities Research Association (MHRA) style. This dissertation does not exceed the word limit of 80,000 words (as specified by the Modern and Medieval Languages Degree Committee). Summary This thesis examines the philosophical notion of selfhood in visual representation. I introduce the self as a modern and postmodern concept and argue that there is a loss of selfhood in contemporary culture. Via Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, Gerhard Richter and the method of deconstruction of language, I theorise selfhood through the figurative and literal analysis of duration, the frame, and the mirror.

  • Perceptual Realism and Embodied Experience in the Travelogue Genre
    Athens Journal of Mass Media and Communications- Volume 3, Issue 3 – Pages 229-258 Perceptual Realism and Embodied Experience in the Travelogue Genre By Perla Carrillo Quiroga This paper draws two lines of analysis. On the one hand it discusses the history of the This paper draws two lines of analysis. On the one hand it discusses the history of the travelogue genre while drawing a parallel with a Bazanian teleology of cinematic realism. On the other, it incorporates phenomenological approaches with neuroscience’s discovery of mirror neurons and an embodied simulation mechanism in order to reflect upon the techniques and cinematic styles of the travelogue genre. In this article I discuss the travelogue film genre through a phenomenological approach to film studies. First I trace the history of the travelogue film by distinguishing three main categories, each one ascribed to a particular form of realism. The hyper-realistic travelogue, which is related to a perceptual form of realism; the first person travelogue, associated with realism as authenticity; and the travelogue as a traditional documentary which is related to a factual form of realism. I then discuss how these categories relate to Andre Bazin’s ideas on realism through notions such as montage, duration, the long take and his "myth of total cinema". I discuss the concept of perceptual realism as a key style in the travelogue genre evident in the use of extra-filmic technologies which have attempted to bring the spectator’s body closer into an immersion into filmic space by simulating the physical and sensorial experience of travelling.

  • Summaries: Charles J
    1 Gilles Deleuze – The Deleuze Seminars (deleuze.cla.purdue.edu), summaries: Charles J. Stivale Cinema: The Classification of Signs and Time, November 2, 1982 to June 7, 1983 (23 Sessions) In the second year of Deleuze's consideration of cinema and philosophy, he commences the year by explaining that whereas he usually changes topics from one year to the next, he feels compelled to continue with the current topic and, in fact, to undertake a process of "philosophy in the manner of cows, rumination... I want entirely and truly to repeat myself, to start over by repeating myself." Hence, the 82-83 Seminar consists in once again taking up Bergson's theses on perception, but now with greater emphasis on the aspects of classification of images and signs drawn from C.S. Peirce. This allows Deleuze to continue the shift from considering the movement-image, that dominated early 20th century cinema, toward a greater understanding of the post-World War II emphasis on the time-image. Cinema 2.1 - November 2, 1982 After defining at length his conception of the new Seminar – exceptionally (for Deleuze) on the same topic as previously – in terms of a “rumination” on many of the topics and concepts discussed in 1981-82, Deleuze also proposes to maintain (indeed, to strongly request) a seminar of reduced size but provides no viable means by which students would “choose” to go to some other philosophy class. However, in response to his opening remarks on course reorganization, Deleuze devotes nearly an hour several students’ questions and objections, most notably discussing the notion of “speaking” (in a class, in society) as well as its dangers.

    H-France Review Volume 19 (2019) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 19 (February 2019), No. 25 Prakash Younger, Boats on the Marne: Jean Renoir’s Critique of Modernity. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2017. xxv + 326 pp. $90.00 U.S. (cl). ISBN 978-0-253-02901-0; $38.00 U.S. (pb). ISBN 978-0-253- 02926-3. Review by Colin Davis, Royal Holloway, University of London. The back cover of Boats on the Marne describes the book as offering “an original interpretation of Jean Renoir’s celebrated films of the 1930s.” This is a bold promise given how intensely the films Renoir directed in the decade before the Second World War have been studied in both French- and English- language scholarship. The preface begins with a personal anecdote about the author’s first experience of the enigmatic power of La règle du jeu and his subsequent attempts to understand it. “Most of the critical consensus was in place,” he tells us, “[but] nobody seemed willing to take the final step and say…what the film was ultimately about” (p. xiv). Indeed, existing scholarship is accused of “unconscious evasiveness” (p. xvii). However, the introduction gives a more modest statement of the aims of the book: “This book does not purport to offer a better or more comprehensive account of Renoir’s films, French culture or politics in the 1930s, the philosophical legacies of Plato or Rousseau, or any of the other subjects it examines along the way, though it should, I hope, offer a different and liberating way of looking at all of these things….” (p.

    4 Raiding the archive: film festivals and the revival of Classic Hollywood Julian Stringer History becomes heritage in various ways. Artifacts become appropriated by particular historical agendas, by particular ideologies of preservation, by specific versions of public history, and by particular values about exhibition, design, and display. (Arjun Appadurai and Carol A. Breckenridge)1 Film Studies has to date paid too little attention to the role cultural institutions play in the transformation of cinema history into heritage. At the dawn of cinema’s second century, a range of organisational bodies – including museums and art galleries, the publicity and promotion industries, film journalism and publishing, as well as the academy – work to activate and commodify memory narratives concerning the movies’ own glorious and fondly recalled past. Such bodies serve different kinds of agendas, broadly identifiable as the commercial, the cultural and the educational (or a combination thereof). However, all help determine the specific shape of current thinking regarding cinema’s past, present and future. At a time when more films than ever before are being exhibited on a greater number of different kinds of screens than ever before, the cumulative effect of all this institutional activity is to create consen- sus around which films should be remembered and which forgotten. With so many ‘old’ and contemporary titles jockeying for position at the multiplex and the art cinema, on television and cable, video, DVD and the Internet, as well as in the classroom, the relatively small number of titles eventually sold, projected, written about, taught or revived, will be largely confined to those legitimised for one reason or another by these different kinds of organisational bodies.
