One of themes of this discussion, if I have interpreted correctly, is that film theory has become esoteric, abstracted from our common physical reality. It has become purely academic only to be shared among sycophantic colleagues. This is the wrong approach. I hope that in pursuing a philolsophical argument we would not be attempting to [...]49_24Feb200009:22:54-0500(EST)[log in to unmask]

I'd agree that Nietzsche embraces art as the true human occupation. In part,
that's how he rethinks the origin of art. Nietzsche certainly does not
embrace art as something necessarily edifying or progressive (a common
thesis in his time and ours) , but as a Veil of Maya, to rephrase his use of
Schopenhauer, that emerges from chaos and hides the chaos at the same time.
In Nietzschean terms that makes Justice an artful conception: Greek justice
is harsh rather than fair: it is a form imposed to maintain a certain world
order rather than a Platonic [...]44_24Feb200009:30:[log in to unmask]

13430 23 20_filmstyle&[log in to unmask], 24 Feb 2000 17:12:41 +0100622_US-ASCII I'm looking for literature concerning filmstyle, aesthetics of film and
technology. Mostly I found literature concerning only one of these
topics and not all three together. But there are some exceptions:
For example Barry Salt's "Filmstyle and technology". I think that
this title is one of the best book in these topics, but on the one
hand it seems to be too technical and on the other hand it is
published in the second edition in 1992. What I need is literature
with a similar title and similar topic, more focusing on aesthetics
and published in 1999 or 2000.
Does [...]51_24Feb200017:12:[log in to unmask]

distill to the following:
1) Everything is a box-just like film theory.
2) Its not our fault that no one understands us.
3) T.V. bad.
1) The problem with the "Grand Theory" b¼^ªxs |
