New Review of Film and Television Studies
Special Issue: "French Philosophy of Cinema" (March, 2010)
Perhaps no writer has had as much impact on cinema studies over the
last twenty years as Gilles Deleuze, whose Cinéma I: l'image-mouvement
(1983) and Cinéma II: l'image-temps (1985) have left an indelible mark
on recent configurations of film and media studies, philosophy, and
history. However much Deleuze has been cited in Anglo-American
discourse, his innovative approach did not burst forth from an
intellectual vacuum, nor did his methodology conclude with his death.
Jean Louis Schefer's 1980 work, L'Homme ordinaire du cinéma, offered a
prelude to Deleuze's re-conceptualization of cinema's role in
twentieth-century history, and Deleuze's radical work concerning
modern constructions of subjectivity and the popular symbolic has been
extended and reconfigured in Jacques Rancière's ongoing development of
the philosophy of aesthetics. In each of these cases, and in other
examples of what one might call "French Philosophy of Cinema," these
writers have provided us with breakthroughs in understanding the role
of cinema in the evolution of audio-visual media, the repercussions of
cinema's widespread importance in the Twentieth Century, and the
relationship between film form and narrative content.
In order to develop an understanding of the wider relevance of this
movement, the New Review of Film and Television Studies invites
200-word abstracts for a special issue. Topics might include, but are
not limited to:
--the role of cinema and the moving image in French philosophy and the
role of philosophy in French film theory;
--the legacy of French aesthetics in international moving image studies;
--the application of French philosophy of cinema to other
methodologies of cinema studies, such as: narrative cognition;
apparatus theory; national cinema(s); digital media; genre and auteur
studies; problems of race, class, gender, and sexuality; theories of
affect and sensation....
--the use of cinema philosophy in order to bridge theoretical gaps
between formalism and realism, semiotics and phenomenology, etc.
--French philosophy of cinema and the re-reading of cinema history,
directors, and individual films, as well as possible applications of
relevant concepts to contemporary cinema and film texts;
Please send 200-word abstracts no later than November 30, to Hunter
