Forms of the Cinematic

This interdisciplinary collection explores how cinema calls into question its own frame of reference and at the same time how its form becomes the matter of its thought. Building on the axiom (cherished by philosophers of cinema from Epstein to Deleuze) that cinema is a medium that <i>thinks</i> in conjunction with its spectators this book examines how various forms of the cinematic rethink and redraw the terrain of traditional disciplines thereby enabling different modes of thought and practice. Areas under consideration by a range of leading academics and practitioners include architecture science writing in a visual field event-theory and historiography.
