Although no-one goes to the cinema in the novel, and its narrator is critical of a 'merely' cinematographic account of reality, the proposition of \u003cem\u003eThinking Cinema with Proust\u003c\/em\u003e is that the \u003cem\u003eRecherche\u003c\/em\u003e can provide a powerful catalyst for re-thinking the cinema, and that the 'structural absence' of cinema from Proust's novel is rich in implications. Drawing on a complex terrain of intersections and overlaps between the experience of the spectator and that of Proust's narrator and reader, the book is focused around a series of motifs - reverie, the camera obscura, the magic lantern, projection, gesture and 'screen memory' - which enable a fluid movement back and forth between Proust and film theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatrick ffrench is Professor of French at King's College London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Ffrench\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781886369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781886366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.46d","brand":"Patrick Ffrench","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990971023615,"sku":"9781781886366","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18e853ef-0737-4385-bd71-a4a603361854.jpg?v=1683307704","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thinking-cinema-with-proust-patrick-ffrench-9781781886366","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
