Ethics of Cinematic Experience: Screens of Alterity deals with the
relationship between cinema and ethics from a philosophical
perspective, finding an intrinsic connection between film
spectatorship and the possibility of being open to different modes
of alterity. The book's main thesis is that openness to otherness
is already found in the basic structures of cinematic experience.
Through a close examination of the ethical relevance of the
philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Stanley Cavell, Emmanuel
Levinas and Gilles Deleuze to cinema studies, Ethics of Cinematic
Experience: Screens of Alterity pursues the question of how film
can open the viewer to what is not her, and so bring her to
encounter otherness in a way that is unique to cinematic
experience. The book sees ethics as not just the subject, content
or story of a film but part of its aesthetic structure. Accompanied
by readings of films mainly from mainstream cinema, each chapter
focuses on a different aspect of the encounter with alterity
through cinema. The book gives particular attention to how
theoretical discussion of the cinematic close-up can lead to
ethical insights into the status of both the human and the
non-human in film, and thus lead to an understanding of the
relationships the viewer makes with them. The book is a helpful
resource for students and scholars interested in the relationship
between philosophy, film and ethics, and is appropriate for
students of philosophy and media and cultural studies.
