Course contents:

Thought after the invention of film: A wider context of theory considerations related to the technical image; philosophical research of time, narration and movement. Phenomenology and its limits (concept of event, discontinuity and simultaneity). Relations among various media (film, literature, graphic arts) and between technology and culture.

___________________________________________

Fundamental issue: What exists before the story and narrative? The concept of events in Philosophy in the second half of the 20th century does not only depend on time, rather directly with the material of reality itself. Therefore the question after story and narrative aims directly to Ontology. The overall research is photography and film, that is, the photography of film (index and icon), therefore it is possible to confirm to what extent a film is a narration and stops being a film (Sean Cubitt). Through an analysis of film it is possible to penetrate into the conditions for the potential of film and narration. This is dependent on the concept of text and discurse which appears not only in semiology but also in philosophy.

Course aim: Not just an introduction to contemporary though but rather active work with this thought and its concepts, experimenting with the borders which needlessly separate fields.
