Agency and Imagination in the Films of David Lynch: Philosophical
Perspectives offers a sustained philosophical interpretation of the
filmmaker's work in light of classic and contemporary discussions
of human agency and the complex relations between our capacity to
act and our ability to imagine. With the help of the pathological
characters that so often leave their unforgettable mark on Lynch's
films, this book reveals several important ways in which human
beings fail to achieve fuller embodiments of agency or seek
substitute satisfactions in spaces of fantasy. In keeping with
Lynch's penchant for unconventional narrative techniques, James D.
Reid and Candace R. Craig explore the possibility, scope, and
limits of the very idea of agency itself and what it might be like
to renounce concepts of agency altogether in the interpretation and
depiction of human life. In a series of interlocking readings of
eight feature-length films and Twin Peaks: The Return that combine
suggestive philosophical analysis with close attention to cinematic
detail, Reid and Craig make a convincing case for the importance of
David Lynch's work in the philosophical examination of agency, the
vagaries of the human imagination, and the relevance of film for
the philosophy of human action. Scholars of film studies and
philosophy will find this book particularly useful.
