More about the book

Exploring the intricate dynamics between cinema and the spectator, this revised edition delves into film theory's evolution, highlighting how each theory envisions an ideal viewer. The authors present seven configurations of spectator-screen interactions, ranging from external to internal relationships. They trace the development of film theory from its origins to contemporary perspectives, including neo-realist, modernist, psychoanalytic, and phenomenological approaches, while also addressing intersections with philosophy and neurology.
