Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revealing cinema’s place in the coevolution of media technology and the human Cinema did not die with the digital, it gave rise to it. According to Jeffrey West Kirkwood, the notion that digital technologies replaced analog obscures how the earliest cinema laid the technological and philosophical groundwork for the digital world. In Endless Intervals, he introduces a theory of semiotechnics that explains how discrete intervals of machines came to represent something like a mind—and why they were feared for their challenge to the uniqueness of human intelligence. Examining histories of early cinematic machines, Kirkwood locates the foundations for a scientific vision of the psyche as well as the information age. He theorizes an epochal shift in the understanding of mechanical stops, breaks, and pauses that demonstrates how cinema engineered an entirely new model of the psyche—a model that was at once mechanical and semiotic, discrete and continuous, physiological and psychological, analog and digital. Recovering largely forgotten and untranslated texts, Endless Intervals makes the case that cinema, rather than being a technology assaulting the psyche, is in fact the technology that produced the modern psyche. Kirkwood considers the ways machines can create meaning, offering a fascinating theory of how the discontinuous intervals of soulless mechanisms ultimately produced a rich continuous experience of inner life.

Download or read book A Synthesis of Time written by Konstantinos Retsikas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an anthropological investigation into the different forms the economy assumes, and the different purposes it serves, when conceived from the perspective of Islamic micro-finance as a field of everyday practice. It is based on long-term ethnographic research in Java, Indonesia, with Islamic foundations active in managing zakat and other charitable funds, for purposes of poverty alleviation. The book explores the social foundations of contemporary Islamic practices that strive to encompass the economic within an expanded domain of divine worship and elucidates the effects such encompassment has on time, its fissure and synthesis. In order to elaborate on the question of time, the book looks beyond anthropology and Islamic studies, engaging attentively, critically and productively with the post-structuralist work of G. Deleuze, M. Foucault and J. Derrida, three of the most important figures of the temporal turn in contemporary philosophy.

Download or read book Cinema Interval written by Trinh T. Minh-ha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An image is powerful not necessarily because of anything specific it offers the viewer, but because of everything it apparently also takes away from the viewer." --Trinh T. Minh-ha Vietnamese filmmaker and feminist thinker Trinh T. Minh-ha is one of the most powerful and articulate voices in independent filmmaking. In her writings and interviews, as well as in her filmscripts, Trinh explores what she describes as the "infinite relation" of word to image. Cinema-Interval brings together her recent conversations on film and art, life and theory, with Homi Bhabha, Deb Verhoeven, Annamaria Morelli and other critics. Together these interviews offer the richest presentation of this extraordinary artist's ideas. Extensively illustrated in color and black and white, Cinema-Interval covers a wide range of issues, many of them concerning "the space between"--between viewer and film, image and text, interviewer and interviewee, lover and beloved. As an added bonus, the complete scripts of Trinh's films Surname Viet Given Name Nam and A Tale of Love are also included in the volume. Cinema-Interval will be an essential work for readers interested in contemporary film art, feminist thought, and postcolonial studies.

Book excerpt: Lisa is leading the charmed life of a diplomats wife in China, enjoying the attentions of her husband, Richard, a solid and hardworking man. But the marriage is troubled by experiences they had prior to their relationship and by their inability to deal with them. Lisas nights in the spacious apartment are not only disturbed by this, but also by events that took place in another part of the world some thirty years ago. Her mind keeps returning to those long past events which inexorably draw her back to another life, the memory of which will not allow her to find peace until she uncovers the truth behind a mysterious series of murders that took place in a small German village in the 1970s. Confronting the facts of the past forces her to make sense of the inevitable consequences of a doomed childhood, the chaos in the lives of world-weary travellers who greedily consume things and indulge in lust and love, and, ultimately, to come to terms with the limitations and prospects of her marriage.
