Subject: [FILM-PHILOSOPHY] Godard thesis:
The image interrogates the word
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let know about my MA-thesis, which I recently concluded
at the University of Iceland. It centers on Godard's oeuvre, from his first
short films up until Weekend (1967). It is in Icelandic, but an English
excerpt can be found here:
http://skemman.is/is/item/view/1946/8362.
The title would translate as 'The Image interrogates the Word: Godard and Film
as philosophical research equipment'. It is, among other things, perhaps first
and foremost an attempt to establish a non-historical concept of modernism,
modernism as something akin to virtue, the virtue of aggressive thought. That
part of the approach is founded on Alain Badiou's concepts of Truth and
Subject.
I keep my eyes open for PhD programs where I could continue the
research. I am currently my first feature-length documentary film, and haven't
found a faculty yet which would support rather than hinder my practical
endeavours alongside theory – any tips would certainly be appreciated.
All the best,
Haukur Már Helgason,
Reykjavík.
