Merging Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of perception with Gilles Deleuze's image-philosophy, Vaughan applies a rich theoretical framework to a comparative analysis of Jean-Luc Godard's films, which critique the audio-visual illusion of empirical observation (objectivity), and the cinema of Alain Resnais, in which the sound-image generates innovative portrayals of individual experience (subjectivity). Both filmmakers radically upend conventional film practices and challenge philosophical traditions to alter our understanding of the self, the world, and the relationship between the two. Films discussed in detail include Godard's \u003ci\u003eVivre sa vie\u003c\/i\u003e (1962), \u003ci\u003eContempt\u003c\/i\u003e (1963), and \u003ci\u003e2 or 3 Things I Know About Her\u003c\/i\u003e (1967); and Resnais's \u003ci\u003eHiroshima, mon amour\u003c\/i\u003e (1959), \u003ci\u003eLast Year at Marienbad\u003c\/i\u003e (1961), and \u003ci\u003eThe War Is Over\u003c\/i\u003e (1966). Situating the formative works of these filmmakers within a broader philosophical context, Vaughan pioneers a phenomenological film semiotics linking two disparate methodologies to the mirrored achievements of two seemingly irreconcilable artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hunter Vaughan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231161328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231161329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Hunter Vaughan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48152949260543,"sku":"9780231161329","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8e05584-2b70-424b-90f1-4ad6857c12fe.jpg?v=1770780278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/where-film-meets-philosophy-hunter-vaughan-9780231161329","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
