In the lead essay for this volume, Joshua Foa Dienstag engages in a
critical encounter with the work of Stanley Cavell on cinema,
focusing skeptical attention on the claims made for the
contribution of cinema to the ethical character of democratic life.
In this debate, Dienstag mirrors the celebrated dialogue between
Rousseau and Jean D'Alembert on theatre, casting Cavell as
D'Alembert in his view that we can learn to become better citizens
and better people by observing a staged representation of human
life, with Dienstag arguing, with Rousseau, that this
misunderstands the relationship between original and copy, even
more so in the medium of film than in the medium of theatre.
Dienstag's provocative and stylish essay is debated by an
exceptional group of interlocutors comprising Clare Woodford, Tracy
B. Strong, Margaret Kohn, Davide Panagia and Thomas Dumm. The
volume closes with a robust response from Dienstag to his critics.
