{"product_id":"9781441128300","title":"Aesthetics and Film","description":"\u003cem\u003eAesthetics and Film\u003c\/em\u003e is a philosophical study of the art of film. Its motivation is the recent surge of interest among analytic philosophers in the philosophical implications of central issues in film theory and the application of general issues in aesthetics to the specific case of film. \u003cbr\u003eOf particular interest are questions concerning the distinctive representational capacities of film art, particularly in relation to realism and narration, the influence of the literary paradigm in understanding film authorship and interpretation, and our imaginative and affective engagement with film. \u003cbr\u003eFor all of these questions, Katherine Thomson-Jones critically compares the most compelling answers, driving home key points with a wide range of film examples including Wiene's \u003cem\u003eThe Cabinet of Doctor Caligari\u003c\/em\u003e, Eisenstein's \u003cem\u003eOctober\u003c\/em\u003e, Hitchcock's \u003cem\u003eRear Window\u003c\/em\u003e, Kubrick's \u003cem\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/em\u003e and Sluizer's \u003cem\u003eThe Vanishing\u003c\/em\u003e. Students and scholars of aesthetics and cinema will find this an illuminating, accessible and highly enjoyable investigation into the nature and power of a technologically evolving art form.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125046034672,"sku":"9781441128300","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441128300_p0.jpg?v=1763791570","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441128300","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
