Download as PDF
Overview
Description
This course investigates a set of philosophical problems concerning visual representation and our experiences of it. Do films and photographs reproduce reality, re-present it, or create it? Can a film make a philosophical statement? Can photographs be true or false? The course will raise questions about the ontology and aesthetics of film:What is a movie? What is the world of a movie? What is it to give a reading of a movie? Can a movie present a philosophy? A film per week will be shown or assigned, together with readings on the film.
