{"product_id":"feeling-cinema-tarja-laine-9781441168153","title":"Feeling Cinema","description":"There is an upsurge of interest in contemporary film theory towards cinematic emotions. Tarja Laine's innovative study proposes a methodology for interpreting affective encounters with films, not as objectively readable texts, but as emotionally salient events. Laine argues convincingly that film is not an immutable system of representation that is meant for (one-way) communication, but an active, dynamic participant in the becoming of the cinematic experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough a range of chapters that include Horror, Hope, Shame and Love - and through close readings of films such as \u003ci\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind\u003c\/i\u003e, Laine demonstrates that cinematic emotions are more than mere indicators of the properties of their objects. They are processes that are intentional in a phenomenological sense, supporting the continuous, shifting, and reciprocal exchange between the film's world and the spectator's world. Grounded in continental philosophy, this provocative book explores the affective dynamics of cinema as an interchange between the film and the spectator in a manner that transcends traditional generic patterns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tarja Laine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 144116815X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441168153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 179","brand":"Tarja Laine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425260519679,"sku":"9781441168153","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f798d8f0-745a-448f-9438-1f3066b8a6dd.jpg?v=1761538042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feeling-cinema-tarja-laine-9781441168153","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
