>Concerning theory about time (and space) in cinema, what about Gilles >Deleuze's L'image-mouvement (1983) and L'image-temps (1985)? Any comments? > >Meret Ernst Deleuze's books are fascinating, well-written, and important contributions to film theory. But they are not about time rhetoric. The two books serve more to define a paradigm shift in film -- both historically in film-making and also thinking about film -- a shift from fascination with a moving picture to a picture that exists in time. It is a highly descriptive metaphorical work that attempts to define the object-cinema and differentiate between different types of cinemas. It is not textural analysis nor semiological nor semiopragmatic analysis of film. -Pip Chodorov ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems?
