Zusatztext "Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above" - CHOICE Informationen zum Autor Jinhee Choi is Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at King's College London, UK. Mattias Frey is Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Kent, UK. Klappentext This volume looks at the significance and range of ethical questions that pertain to various film practices. Diverse philosophical traditions provide useful frameworks to discuss spectators' affective and emotional engagement with film, which can function as a moral ground for one's connection to others and to the world outside the self. These traditions encompass theories of emotion, phenomenology, the philosophy of compassion, and analytic and continental ethical thinking and environmental ethics. This anthology is one of the first volumes to open up a dialogue among these diverse methodologies. Contributors bring to the fore some of the assumptions implicitly shared between these theories and forge a new relationship between them in order to explore the moral engagement of the spectator and the ethical consequences of both producing and consuming films Zusammenfassung This volume looks at the significance and range of ethical questions that pertain to various film practices.
