Animation - Process, Cognition and Actuality presents a uniquely
philosophical and multi-disciplinary approach to the scholarly
study of animation, by using the principles of process philosophy
and Deleuzian film aesthetics to discuss animation practices, from
early optical devices to contemporary urban design and
installations. Some of the original theories presented are a
process-philosophy based theory of animation; a cognitive theory of
animation; a new theoretical approach to the animated documentary;
an original investigative approach to animation; and unique
considerations as to the convergence of animation and actuality.
Numerous animated examples (from all eras and representing a wide
range of techniques and approaches - including television shows and
video games) are examined, such as Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), Madame
Tutli-Putli (2007), Gertie the Dinosaur (1914), The Peanuts Movie
(2015), Grand Theft Auto V (2013) and Dr. Katz: Professional
Therapist (1995-2000). Divided into three sections, each to build
logically upon each other, Dan Torre first considers animation in
terms of process and process philosophy, which allows the reader to
contemplate animation in a number of unique ways. Torre then
examines animation in more conceptual terms in comparing it to the
processes of human cognition. This is followed by an exploration of
some of the ways in which we might interpret or 'read' particular
aspects of animation, such as animated performance, stop-motion,
anthropomorphism, video games, and various hybrid forms of
animation. He finishes by guiding the discussion of animation back
to the more tangible and concrete as it considers animation within
the context of the actual world. With a genuinely distinctive
approach to the study of animation, Torre offers fresh
philosophical and practical insights that prompt an engagement with
the definitions and dynamics of the form, and its current
literature.
