This interdisciplinary volume is dedicated to exploring the idea of
the cinematic sublime by bringing together the disciplines of film
studies and aesthetics to examine cinema and cinematic experience.
Explores the idea of ‘the sublime’ in cinema from a variety of
perspectives; the essays range in focus from early cinema, through
classical Hollywood, documentary, avant-garde and art cinema
traditions, and on to contemporary digital cinema. The book aims to
apply the discussion of the sublime in philosophy to cinema and to
interrogate the ways in which cinema engages with this tradition.
Offers new and exciting insights into how cinema engages with
traditional historical and aesthetic discourse. Original and
wide-ranging, this clear and coherent volume is a useful resource
for both post-graduate students and established scholars interested
in the interrelations between film and philosophy. The range of
material covered in the individual essays makes this a wide-ranging
and very useful introduction to the topic. A significant new
contribution to the literature on Film-Philosophy. What sets this
reader apart from the existing books on the subject is the wider
scope. It embraces both philosophers and film scholars to consider
films from throughout film history in light of theories of the
sublime from throughout the history of Philosophy. In doing so it
aims to demonstrate the diverse value of sublime approaches (versus
a singular definition and philosophical perspective) to a wider
range of films than has previously been considered. An
original and stimulating collection of essays contributing new
insights into the crossover between historical and aesthetic
approaches to contemporary cinema and cinematic experience. The
main readership will be academic markets including film studies and
philosophy, and academics with an interest in the legacies of Burke
and Kant on aesthetics. Useful for teaching aesthetics through
cinematic illustration and application. Appropriate to final year
undergraduate and postgraduate students with an interest in ideas
at the boundaries of contemporary film studies.
