Bad Film Histories is a vital work that unsettles the authority of the archive, examining the imprecisions and absences that define film history and its archives. Taking ethnographic cinema as a crucial case study, Katherine Groo challenges standard ways of thinking and writing about film history and questions widespread assumptions about what film artifacts are and what makes them meaningful. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781517900335Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: Introduction: Untimely Historiographies, Ethnographic Particularities -- 1.

Derrida's reflections on the economies of image and sound that reverberate in this story, along with the spectral dialectics of love, mirrors, and poiesis, serve as the basis for a theory of cinema that Derrida perhaps secretly imagined. Following Derrida's interventions on Echo and Narcissus across his thought on the visual arts, Akira Mizuta Lippit seeks to return to a theory of cinema adrift in Derrida's philosophy."ISBN: 9781517900045Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: Anniverse -- Plus Surplus Love -- Eye-Line -- Ultrasound Light -- [& #x2665;] -- A Stranger Cinema -- Echopoiesis and Narcissism Adrift -- On the Disappearance of Narcissus and the Reappearance of Narcissism -- Postscript (PS): Exverse

Echographies of television : filmed interviews / Jacques Derrida and Bernard Stiegler ; translated by Jennifer Bajorek. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press, [2002].
Call No: 62 WURAuthor: Derrida, Jacques ; Stiegler, Bernard ; Bajorek, Jennifer Source: UKPlace: Cambridge, UKPublisher: Polity PressPubDate: [2002]PhysDes: viii, 174 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSubject: ADORNO, THEODOR W. ; DERRIDA, JACQUES ; FOUCAULT, MICHEL ; FASSBENDER, MICHAEL ; FASSBINDER, RAINER WERNER ; HERZOG, WERNER ; HITCHCOCK, ALFRED Summary: "In this new book, Jacques Derrida talks with Bernard Stiegler about the effect of teletechnologies on our philosophical and political moment. Improvising before a camera, the two philosophers are confronted by the very technologies they discuss and so are forced to address all the more directly the urgent questions that they raise. What does it mean to speak of the present in a situation of "live" recording? How can we respond, responsibly, to a question when we know that the so-called "natural" conditions of expression, discussion, reflection, and deliberation have been breached?" "As Derrida and Stiegler discuss the role of teletechnologies in modern society, the political implications of Derrida's thought become apparent. Drawing on recent events in Europe, Derrida and Stiegler explore the impact of television and the internet on our understanding of the state, its borders and citizenship. Their discussion examines the relationship between the juridical and the technical, and it shows how new technologies for manipulating and transmitting images have influenced our notions of democracy, history and the body. The book opens with a shorter interview with Derrida on the news media, and closes with a provocative essay by Stiegler on the epistemology of digital photography." "In Echographies of Television, Derrida and Stiegler open up questions that are of key social and political importance. Their book will be of great interest to all those already familiar with Derrida's work, as well as to students and scholars of philosophy, literature, sociology and media studies."--BOOK JACKET.Notes: Includes bibliographical references. - Translation from the French.ISBN: 074562037XContents: Artifactualities / Jacques Derrida -- Echographies of Television / Jacques Derrida and Bernard Stiegler -- 1.

It demonstrates that genre matters in a manner not constrained by disciplinary boundaries and includes new work on Genre Theory and applications of thinking about genre from Aristotle to Derrida and beyond. The essays focus on economies of expectation and competency, genre as media form, recent developments in television broadcast genres, translation and genericity, the role played by genre in film publicity, gender and genre, genre in fiction, and the problematics of classification. An introductory essay places the contributions in the context of a wide range of thinking about genre in the arts, media and humanities.

Although Derrida has never addressed film theory directly in his writings, Brunette and Wills argue that the ideas he has developed in his critique of the logocentric foundations of Western thought, especially his notion of "Writing," can be usefully applied to film theory and analysis. They maintain that such an application might even begin to shift film from its traditional position within the visual arts to a new place in the media and information sciences. This book also supplies a fascinating introduction to Derrida for the general reader." - taken from back coverNotes: Includes bibliographic references and indexISBN: 0691008469Contents: Preface -- CHAPTER ONE.

Both movies are concerned with the national project, in which sheep growing and nation building are seamlessly aligned. But Verhoeven artfully demonstrates that it is precisely in their emphasis on textual re-iteration and repetition that the sheep films critique an otherwise ostensibly 'national' vision.

Source: USPlace: New YorkPublisher: RoutledgePubDate: 1989PhysDes: 257 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSubject: TELEVISION ; BARTHES, ROLAND ; DERRIDA, JACQUES Summary: "Teletheory is the application of grammatology to television in the context of schooling, not as a way to interpret or criticize television, or rather, video, but to learn from it a new pedagogy. This application or consultation assumes first that the theories of Derrida and the other French poststructuralists (supported by certain art practices) offer the best hope for understanding an era in which the technology of culture is shifting from print to video; and second that this understanding includes not only a pedagogy, but a program for popularization capable of reuniting the advanced research in the humanities disciplines with the conduct of everyday life. Teletheory (the book) offers a rationale and guidelines for a specific genre--mystory--designed to do the work of schooling and popularization in a way that takes into account the new discursive and conceptual ecology interrelating orality, literacy, and videocy."--Preface.Notes: Includes index. -- Bibliography: pages 244-251ISBN: 0415901200Contents: Preface -- Introduction: Academic Discoures in the Age of Television, The Apparatus of Literacy -- Sampling -- Part One: Theory -- Chapter One: Experiment -- 1 Historiography -- 2 Freud: The New Instauration -- 3 After Method -- 4 The Life Story -- Chapter Two: Conduction -- 1 The Voice of the Code -- 2 The Joke -- 3 VITA-TV/AI -- 4 Text -- Chapter Three: Mystory -- 1 Mystoriography -- 2 Allegory as Post-Meaning -- 3 Theory Diegesis -- Part Two: Models and Relays -- Introduction: Figures of Thought -- Fragments -- Documents -- Chapter Four: Memory I: Place/Roots -- 1 Mnemonic Autoportrait -- 2 Rhizomes and Mushrooms -- 3 Pre/Signature -- 4 Otobiography -- Chapter Five: Memory II: Tour/Routes -- 1 A Nomadic Relay -- 2 Monu/Mentality -- 3 Catastropical Tourists -- 4 Breaking Rout/ines -- Part Three: Practice -- Introduction -- Chapter Six: "Derrida at the Little Bighorn": A Fragment -- 1 Vita Minor -- 2 TV/AI -- Works Cited -- Index
