Schizophrenizing cinema: rhizomatics, dualisms and the infinite ‘and … and … and …’

摘要

This essay reviews Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Cinema, an essay collection edited by Ian Buchanan and Patricia MacCormack (Continuum, 2008) that explores significant issues in film schizoanalysis as it is currently emerging and seeks continuities between Gilles Deleuze's schizoanalytic writing and his books on film theory. Topics covered include the roles played by dualism in the thought of Deleuze and Félix Guattari, the shifting relationship between schizoanalysis and psychoanalysis, the limitations of Deleuze's auteurist approach to film studies, his Frankfurt School-like pessimism about the dire consequences of bad movies, the extension of schizoanalytic practices to new media and global cinemas, and the efforts of Deleuzian thinkers to replace traditional ‘arborescent’ theory with acentric ‘rhizomatic’ models that schizoanalysis finds more conducive to paradigm-changing ideas.View full textDownload full textKeywordsGilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, schizoanalysis, rhizome, desiring-machine, dualismRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17400300903529455
