. Press Release Continental Film Philosophy Today New Special Issue of Film-Philosophy The latest issue of the salon-journal Film-Philosophy (ISSN 1466-4615) takes a snapshot of the new lines of thinking in continental film philosophy. Taking on the new interest with the bodily in relation to the image, the return of deconstruction in film studies, and featuring a symposium on Dominique Chateau’s Cinéma et philosophie (2005), the issue examines the possible futures of philosophy and film. (This includes the appearance of philosophers on film, with a review by Edward R. O’Neill of the recent films Derrida and Zizek!). Edited by four of the ten-member editorial collective (Sarah Cooper, David Martin-Jones, Douglas Morrey, and Benjamin Noys), this issue of Film-Philosophy continues our desire for accessible academic engagement. Film-Philosophy is designed as a 21st century international para- academic 24-hour live-event version of specialised academic publishing. Traditional journals (including those online that desire the gravitas of tradition, and don't exploit their electronic position) allow little or no possibility for interaction, response, or argument. Articles are read, but hang in the air with a somewhat delayed life – before being cited perhaps months or years later. Film- Philosophy is a 'salon-journal', with 1500 worldwide members who can discuss and continue the journal review-articles. We also have a tradition of inviting reviewed authors the right to reply as another way of short circuiting this delay. So we encourage any and all readers to use the salon to reply and engage creatively with these new lines in continental film philosophy. The Editorial Collective <[log in to unmask]> Jon Baldwin (London Metropolitan University), Catherine Constable (Sheffield Hallam University), Sarah Cooper (King's College London), David Martin-Jones (University of St Andrews), Douglas Morrey (University of Warwick), John Mullarkey (University of Dundee), Benjamin Noys (University of Chichester), David Sorfa (Liverpool John Moores University), Richard Stamp (Bath Spa University), Damian Peter Sutton (Glasgow School of Art). PS. Film-Philosophy is 10 years old today (1 November 2006), so Happy Birthday to us. ---------------- Continental Film Philosophy Today Edited by Sarah Cooper, David Martin-Jones, Douglas Morrey, and Benjamin Noys Special Issue of Film-Philosophy Volume 10, Number 2, October 2006 http://www.film-philosophy.com The Body of the Image Maria Walsh: Against Fetishism: 1-10 On Laura Mulvey's Death 24x a Second Douglas Morrey: Bodies that Matter 11-22 On Vivian Sobchack's Carnal Thoughts Patrick ffrench: Pathology of the Photogram 23-30 On Philippe Michaud's Aby Warburg and the Image in Motion Robert Sinnerbrink: Cinema and Its Shadow 31-38 On Mario Perniola's Art and Its Shadow Deconstruction and Film Patrick Crogan: Essential Viewing 39-54 On Bernard Stiegler's La technique et le temps 3 Cara O’Connor: Cut Together 55-66 On Jean-Luc Nancy's The Ground of the Image Kristi McKim: Inscribing Cinema 67-81 On Sylviane Agacinski's Time Passing: Modernity and Nostalgia Symposium on Dominique Château’s Cinéma et philosophie Thorsten Botz-Bornstein: Mapping Film Studies 82-86 Codruta Morari: The Paradoxes of Rationality 87-98 Paul C.
