Film Figures An Organological Approach

Film Figures Develops A Figural Account Of The Memory Structure Of Films.employing Theoretical Concepts Drawn From A Range Of Sources, Including French Post-humanist Philosophy And German Idealism, The Book Undertakes An Organology Of Film Guided By The Work Of Bernard Stiegler Whose Philosophy Of Mnemotechnesis Provides The Framework Of Analysis. Situating Films In The Quantum Field Of Spacetime Relativity As A Field Of Cosmic Views, Inquiry Into Film Figures Begins With Disturbances In The Experience Of Films Themselves, Posing Questions Of The Relation Between The Dead Past And The Living Future In Film Story-telling. By Breaking The Faade Of The Continuing Present Through Self-questioning, We Open Films To Their Figural Dimensions In The Counter-movement Of Drive As Negentropic Resistance.
