Description:
Develops a theory of cinecepts: a new framework for how philosophy can proceed in and through film/video/audiovisual media
Brief description: Jakob A. Nilsson is Assistant Professor of Film Studies at Örebro University
Review Quotes: Nilsson proposes both a new interpretation of the relationship between theory and practice in the work of Jean-Luc Godard and a new reading of Gilles Deleuze and the application of his thought to cinema. Nilsson delineates a rich new avenue for research in film-philosophy. No other book has examined in such detail or with such conviction Godard's famous claim that cinema is 'a form that thinks.'--Douglas Morrey, University of Warwick
