Film Theory and Philosophy (Hardcover, New)

This volume of new essays gives impetus to a growing movement in film theory in which many of the assumptions that have governed film theory of the last twenty years are being questioned and overturned. It brings together film scholars and philosphers united by a commitment to the standards of argumentation that characterize analytic philosophy rather than by a single doctrinal approach. Topics addressed include genre, authorship, emotion, ideology, representation, and expression in film.
