The Production of Space in the Franchise City Film
This article examines the production of space (Lefebvre) in the franchise Cities of Love in the context of the history of the city film, from the street film through the city symphony, the genre-inflected city (noir and sci fi), nouvelle vague films, the global city film, the transnational ghetto film to the franchise city film. Unlike the early city film, which not only emphasized the surface aspects of modernity but also offered a critique of m…

Insofar as the image was part of the discourse …

A Nonhuman Eye: Deleuze on Cinema
A Nonhuman Eye:Deleuze on Cinema Temenuga Trifonova (bio) Sartre's Imagination and The Psychology of Imagination play an important role in philosophy's renewed attempts to go beyond the human, to annihilate subjectivity, to return to pure perception in which objects vary for one another rather than for one privileged image or center of reference (consciousness). Before Sartre, Bergson was already interested in pure (inhuman) experience "above tha…
Is There a Subject in Hyperreality
The article discusses a dominant trend in postmodernism toward the dissolution of subjectivity into something vague, unstable, fragmented, amorphic, and always impersonal. In line with the ethical appeal of Lyotard’s idea of the inhuman as a resistance to the tyranny of subjectivity, Baudrillard defines the fatal or the inhuman as an expression of the enigma of the world, its resistance to metaphysics. What makes Baudrillard’s theory of the hyper…
