Deleuze, Altered States and Film offers a typology of altered
states, defining dream, hallucination, memory, trance and ecstasy
in their cinematic expression. The book presents altered states
films as significant neurological, psychological and philosophical
experiences. Chapters engage with films that simultaneously present
and induce altered consciousness. They consider dream states and
the popularisation of alterity in drugs films. The altered bodies
of erotic arousal and trance states are explored, using haptics and
synaesthesia. Cinematic distortions of space and time as well as
new digital and fractal directions are opened up. Anna Powell's
distinctive re-mapping of the film experience as altered state uses
a Deleuzian approach to explore how cinema alters us by 'affective
contamination'. Arguing that specific cinematic techniques derange
the senses and the mind, she makes an assemblage of philosophy and
art, counter-cultural writers and filmmakers to provide insights
into the cinematic event as intoxication. The book applies Deleuze,
alone and with Guattari, to mainstream films like Donnie Darko as
well as arthouse and experimental cinema. Offering innovative
readings of 'classic' altered states movies such as 2001,
Performance and Easy Rider, it includes 'avant-garde' and
'underground' work. Powell asserts the Deleuzian approach as itself
a kind of altered state that explodes habitual ways of thinking and
feeling.
