This comprehensive anthology represents the diverse range of continental philosophical schools, including phenomenology, existentialism, Marxism, critical theory, semiotics, hermeneutics, psychoanalysis, and postmodernism. Within its pages, readers will find not only renowned classic texts such as Benjamin's \"The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction\" and excerpts from Deleuze's Cinema and Barthes' Mythologies, but also early works by influential thinkers like Georg Lukács. This anthology showcases the philosophical significance and profound influence of these thinkers on the art of filmmaking, not only in Europe but also across the globe. Furthermore, it sheds light on the crucial role that film has played in shaping the last century of European philosophical thought. Nearly every major continental European philosopher of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries has contributed their insights to the discourse surrounding cinema, exploring its multifaceted aspects as an art form, a social or political phenomenon, a linguistic tool, a projection of our fears and desires, a site of oppression and resistance, and even a model for living. Purposefully designed for classroom use, this reader incorporates pedagogical features that introduce and contextualize the extracts, making it an invaluable resource for students and scholars in the fields of philosophy of film, film studies, and the history of cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1152g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 173 x 41 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474275736                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094387585274,"sku":"9781474275736","price":35.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/69ffc85fee7bdce7162bdf780f1646be.jpg?v=1629602368","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/continental-philosophy-of-film-reader","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
