Recently I have been reading a bit of Henri Bergson for a project, and I have been wondering if much (if anything) has been written about his theories of the cinematic apparatus. I've done a little research and found almost nothing specifically dealing with what Bergson has to say about cinema. There is quite a bit of Bergson in Deleuze (and it does come up a bit in CINEMA 1 & CINEMA 2), and there has been some recent stuff written by philosophers concerning Bergson's relation to "postmodernism." However, I have not come across any direct work by film people (or even visual arts people) and Bergson's theory of cinema, even though one of his major books, CREATIVE EVOLUTION has a major section in which Bergson draws out relationships between cinema, time, and consciousness. Whatever anyone might know, I would be glad to talk more about this. ciao, brian ====================================== brian k aurand comparative literature university of maryland at college park [log in to unmask] 301-405-2853 ====================================== ---- To sign off SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
