Bergson and Philosophy
Various schools of philosophy have tried to position the thought of Henri Bergson over the last eighty years. In France he has been regarded primarily as an early form of phenomenologist, in the United States and Britain he is still regarded as a vitalist philosopher. This introductory study looks instead at Bergson's use of philosophical form itself and aims to dispel the view that Bergson ever stuck to one type of philosophy at all, be it vital…
Bergson and the Art of Immanence: Painting, Photography, Film
An immanent turn in art historyThis collection of 16 essays brings 20th-century French philosopher Henri Bergson's work on immanence together with the latest ideas in art theory and the practice of immanent art as found in painting, photography and film
Animal Spirits: Philosomorphism and the Background Revolts of Cinema
This essay follows two lines – the one “cinematic,” the other “philosophical” – towards an intersection located in what we call “the animal.” Be it the bleak picture of “bare life” drawn by Agamben, or the more positive image of the “animal that therefore I am” depicted by Derrida, philosophers of various hue have shown increasing interest in the idea of the animal as both a normative category (Derrida, Agamben) and a metaphysical one (as when Ba…

The Tragedy of the Object: Democracy of Vision and the Terrorism of Things in Bazin's Cinematic Realism
The ongoing duel between realist and anti-realist tendencies in film theory usually positions the ideas of André Bazin unambiguously on the realist side. Whatever else we expect to find in his writing – and the current resurgence is finding more and more – we should find this: realism, cinematic realism. But what type of realism? Is it ontological, and, if so, is it based on a claim for the primacy of photography's "analogical" relation to the wo…
The Continuum companion to continental philosophy
Refractions of reality: Philosophy and the Moving Image

Life, Movement and the Fabulation of the Event
This article provides a full account of Bergson's vitalist theory of the Event, centring on his concept of Tabulation' first forwarded in his last book, The Two Sources of Morality and Religion. Though the term connotes artifice and fabrication, fabulation is neither unnatural nor unfounded for Bergson. Indeed, the fabulation of events offers a sociobiological explanation to the 'paradox of fiction', to the problem of why we feel real emotions fo…

Time, Creativity and Culture: Introducing Bergson
In this paper we introduce Bergson's philosophy of "action, process and movement" and its relevance for social science and the study of organizational culture. Bergson's philosophy of change argues against the spatialisation of thought in which phenomena are broken down into discrete components to be numbered, sequenced and manipulated: rather he argues for a view of time as qualitative; intuition as situated within experience rather than about i…
