The Real of Reality: The Realist Turn in Contemporary Film Theory
No Customer Reviews
This book provides philosophical insight into the nature of reality by reflecting on its ontological qualities through the medium of film. The main question is whether we have access to reality through film that is not based on visual representation or narration: Is film--in spite of its immateriality--a way to directly grasp and reproduce reality? Why do we perceive film as "real" at all? What does it mean to define its own reproducibility as an ontological feature of reality? And what does film as a medium exactly show? The contributions in this book provide, from a cinematic perspective, diverse philosophical analyses to the understanding of the challenging concept of "the real of reality".
