Driven by a dual analysis, Encounters with Bergson(ism) in Spain
looks at French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941) in Spain--his
more or less direct influence on Spanish letters--and also at
Bergsonism in Spain--the more indirect resonance with his
methodological posture--articulated through Spanish texts as well
as theoretical approaches to film and urban space. Through this
twin investigation, one part historical and the other part
methodological, Benjamin Fraser seeks to broaden the scope of
interest in Bergson's philosophy, to emphasize the
interdisciplinary nature of Bergson's thought, and to insist upon
the relevance of Bergson's methodological premise to two of the
most important cultural studies disciplines today--film studies and
urban geography. Following an eclectic and interdisciplinary
methodology that the French philosopher himself advocated, Fraser
reconciles works by some of the most notable twentieth-century
authors and critics with compelling aspects of Bergsonism. From
novelists Pio Baroja, Miguel de Unamuno, Juan Benet and Belen
Gopegui to filmmakers Victor Erice ( El sol del membrillo ),
Alejandro Amenabar ( Abre los ojos ) and Carlos Saura ( Taxi ), as
well as urban theorists Henri Lefebvre and Manuel Delgado Ruiz,
this work takes up philosopher Gilles Deleuze's call for a ""return
to Bergson,"" pushing past the established boundaries of
interdisciplinary to what lies beyond. Fans of Bergson from all
disciplines will also be eager to read English translations of
Bergson's lectures at the Ateneo in Madrid the 2nd and 6th of May
1916, included here as an appendix. |Benjamin Fraser seeks to
