| Summary: | Gilles Deleuze's two Cinema books create a myriad of philosophical concepts to explore films. This cineosis is like a Russian doll or a Chinese box, proliferating levels of regimes, domains, images and signs. Not only bewildering in number, Deleuze's writing procedures mean his exegesis is composed of paradoxes and silences. Three questions emerge. What are the underlying principles for the creation of these concepts? How many concepts are there? How might each be used in engaging with a film? Commentators have, wholly or in part, left these questions unanswered. Instead focusing on the Cinema books place within Deleuze's wider philosophical project. This book is the first to fully respond to the three questions, explicating/unearthing the taxonomies, exploring every concept and reading a film for each. It maps the Cinema books for newcomers to Deleuzian film studies and opens up new areas of enquiry for expert readers. |
