Summary:Explores all the concepts in Deleuze's Cinema books, using contemporary film readings as illustrative examples for each conceptDeleuze's two Cinema books explore film through the creation of a series of philosophical concepts. Not only bewildering in number, Deleuze's writing procedures mean his exegesis is both complex and elusive. Three questions emerge: What are the underlying principles of the taxonomy? How many concepts are there, and what do they describe? How might each be used in engaging with a film?David Deamer's book is the first to fully respond to these three questions, unearthing the philosophies inspiring Deleuze's classifications, exploring every concept and reading a film for each. Clearly and concisely mapping the Cinema books for newcomers to Deleuzian film studies, Deamer also opens up new areas of enquiry for expert readers.Key FeaturesAn interpretation of Bergson's Matter and Memory through Deleuze's Bergsonism describing the ground of Deleuze's film-philosophyA reading of Peirce's semiosis from Pragmatism and Pragmaticism explicating the genesis and components of the movement-imageAn examination of Deleuze's syntheses of time, space and consciousness from Difference and Repetition illuminating the genesis and components of the time-imageConcise engagements with each of the cinematic signs to assist reading Deleuze's Cinema books, as well as commentaries and monographs that draw upon them44 film readings - one for each cinematic sign - to clarify their application
