In Film Theory: Rational Reconstructions, Warren Buckland asks a
series of questions about how film theory gets written in the first
place: How does it select its objects of study and its methods of
inquiry? How does it make discoveries and explain filmic phenomena?
And, How does it formulate and solve theoretical problems? He asks
these questions of film theory through a rational reconstruction
and a classical commentary. Both frameworks clarify and reformulate
vague and inexact expressions, redefine obscure concepts, and
examine the underlying logic of film theory arguments. This not
only subjects film theory to rigorous examination; it also teaches
students how to write theory, by enabling them to question and
critically interrogate the logic of previous film theory arguments.
The book consists of nine chapters that closely examine a series of
canonical film books and essays in great detail, by Peter Wollen,
Laura Mulvey, Thomas Elsaesser, Stephen Heath, and Slavoj Zizek,
among others.
