Book Presentation:
(Lectures in French and English.)
This second volume emphasizes on an angle of research seldom adressed in the previous volumes, which considers cinéma as a form or a critical tool applied to images. The point is to think cinéma as a shape of the mind rather than as an image, as a modality rather than as an object, as a way of seeing things rather than as a thing. And as such, this modality, demands to take a critical look on the world of images. In other words, the texts assembled here all present a gap, a distance, a form of detachment taken by cinema itself from the images it assembles or to which it refers. Here, Cinema should be looked at as a mean of looking, it “watches itself watching”, and this observative distance institutes it as a critical posture, often with a sharp conscience of its role and place, a conscience of its status and of its stakes, a conscience of its forms and of its critical tools’s strenght, a conscience that is self-reflexive, perfectly contemporary, synchronous with the distanciated world in which we are immerged and in which beliefs have disappeared to the benefit of conscience.
