Description
Understanding democracy through film philosophy and political theory Shining new light on our understanding of cinema’s ways of political thinking, Intermedialities: Political Theory and Cinematic Experience puts modern political theory in conversation with the philosophy of film.
Davide Panagia argues that there are no natural laws of association that can guarantee a template for democratic participation, as democracy is predicated not on stabilizing foundations but rather on the formation of expansive collectivities and institutions that are responsive to alterability.
Instead, democracy requires a relational ontology, one that he elucidates by turning to philosophers of film like Stanley Cavell, Gilles Deleuze, Miriam Hansen, and Jean-Luc Godard—all of whom have articulated a political aesthetic of cinematic experience that is at once aspectual and compositional.
Panagia reads these thinkers alongside a counter tradition of modern political thought, represented by David Hume, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Gilbert Simondon.
His articulation of cinematic experience thus allows for a political aesthetic that is rooted in the migratory realities of undetermined relations.
