| Summary: | "This book offers a substantial reconfiguration of the textual roots of modern film narratology. By giving sustained attention to cinema's material-affective modes of communicating its stories and embedding its audience in atmospheric, kinetic, and multisensorial worlds, this book maintains that film narratives are less representations than they are enactments, brought forth through the interactions of the felt body and the film material. The book defends this enactive and media-anthropological thesis by reworking a series of established film-narratological key concepts including the diegesis, mood/atmosphere, and the distinction between diegetic and nondiegetic sound. In the process, this book draws on a wide range of contemporary theoretical resources such as media-philosophy, philosophy of mind, Deleuzian film philosophy, atmosphere research, affect theory, affective neuroscience, and ecological perception theory. Additional resources include a broad selection of films, including Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (directed by Ruttmann 1927), The Cranes Are Flying (directed by Kalatozov 1957), and Happy as Lazzaro (directed by Rohrwacher 2018)"--Publisher's description. |
