In the mid-1950s C.P. Snow began his campaign against the 'two
cultures' - the debilitating divide, as he saw it, between
traditional 'literary intellectual' culture, and the culture of the
sciences, urging in its place a 'third culture' which would draw
upon and integrate the resources of disciplines spanning the
natural and social sciences, the arts and the humanities. Murray
Smith argues that, with the ever-increasing influence of
evolutionary theory and neuroscience, and the pervasive presence of
digital technologies, Snow's challenge is more relevant than ever.
Working out how the 'scientific' and everyday images of the world
'hang' together is no simple matter. In Film, Art, and the Third
Culture, Smith explores this question in relation to the art,
technology, and science of film in particular, and to the world of
the arts and aesthetic activity more generally. In the first part
of his book, Smith explores the general strategies and principles
necessary to build a 'third cultural' or naturalized approach to
film and art - one that roots itself in an appreciation of
scientific knowledge and method. Smith then goes on to focus on the
role of emotion in film and the other arts, as an extended
experiment in the 'third cultural' integration of ideas on emotion
spanning the arts, humanities and sciences. While acknowledging
that not all of the questions we ask are scientific in nature,
Smith contends that we cannot disregard the insights wrought by
taking a naturalized approach to the aesthetics of film and the
other arts.
