Intervals of Cinema

Informationen zum Autor Jacques Rancière is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris-VIII. His books include The Politics of Aesthetics , On the Shores of Politics , Short Voyages to the Land of the People , The Nights of Labor , Staging the People , and The Emancipated Spectator . Klappentext The cinema, like language, can be said to exist as a system of differences. In his latest book the acclaimed philosopher Jacques Rancière relates cinema to literature and theatre. With literature, he argues, cinema takes its narrative conventions, while at the same time effacing its images and its philosophy; and it rejects theatre, while also fulfilling theatre's dream. Built on these contradictions, the cinema is the real, material space in which one feels moved by the spectacle of shadows. Thus for Rancière, the cinema is the always disappointed dream of a language of images. Zusammenfassung An essential analysis of cinema from one of the great figures of French philosophy.
