{"product_id":"9782906571389","title":"Poetics of Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003eChilean filmmaker Raoul Ruiz is the author of some 100 feature-length films, along with numerous plays and multi-media installations. In \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e, Ruiz takes a fresh approach to the major themes haunting our audio-visual civilization: the filmic unconscious, questions of utopia, the inter-contamination of images, the art of the copy, the relations between artistic practices and institutions. Based on a series of lectures given recently at Duke University in North Carolina, \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e develops an acerbically witty critique of the reigning codes of cinematographic narration, principally derived from the dramatic theories set forth by Aristotle's \u003ci\u003ePoetics\u003c\/i\u003e and characterized by Ruiz as the “central-conflict theory.” Ruiz's impressive knowledge of theology, philosophy, literature and the visual arts never outstrips his powerful imagination. \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e not only offers a singularly pertinent analysis of the seventh art, but also shows us an entirely new way of writing and thinking about images.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dis Voir Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059616301296,"sku":"9782906571389","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782906571389_p0.jpg?v=1763709948","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782906571389","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
