{"product_id":"film-consciousness-spencer-shaw-9780786433346","title":"Film Consciousness: From Phenomenology to Deleuze","description":"\u003cp\u003e The notion of film consciousness is one that has played around various film and philosophical discourses without ever really surfacing as a cogent theory. Representing the first major expression of film consciousness as a tangible concept, this critical study revisits notions of memory, retentional consciousness, narrative expectation, and spatio-temporal perception while also analyzing several major films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The first half of the book focuses on understanding the elements of the film experience--and its associated consciousness--through the descriptive tools of phenomenology. The second part develops the idea of film consciousness as a unique vision of the world and as a large element in the human understanding of reality. Throughout the work, the author combines the ideas of philosophers and film theorists from phenomenology--such as Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Bazin, and Kracauer--with the postmodernist work of Deleuze and transitional theorists Bergson and Benjamin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Spencer Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786433345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786433346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.05w x 0.53d","brand":"Spencer Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926035628287,"sku":"9780786433346","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d352e13b-3ece-4c16-b7d6-53c13ff2f8a4.jpg?v=1681080822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/film-consciousness-spencer-shaw-9780786433346","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
