More about the book

The authors explore the intersection of Jacques Derrida's philosophy and film theory, arguing that his critiques of Western thought can reshape film analysis. They highlight the oversight of Derrida in film studies and provide a critical examination of contemporary assumptions. By referencing lesser-known texts and conducting analyses of Truffaut's and Lynch's films, they propose a radical reading practice. The book also redefines cinema within the context of technology, offering an accessible introduction to Derrida for readers unfamiliar with his work.
