Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This seminar explores the theoretical aspects of a philosophy of film: How is the multiple nature of films to be understood? What is the ontological status of film? – But closely related to these questions we will also explore questions that arise from the theory of art: What do we see when we see the moving images of a film? Beginning with Benjamin this seminar is an introduction to philosophy of film. Philosophical texts by Cavell, Deleuze and Walton (amongst others) will be discussed.Teaching method: Introductory lectures, group work, short presentations, discussions.Aim: Ideally, students will further their ability to produce good arguments and to critically read theoretical texts.
