Flashbacks in Film delves into the intricate realm of film flashbacks as a multifaceted narrative device, exploring the cognitive foundations that underpin their effectiveness and the mechanisms that guide viewers in their comprehension. By integrating a cognitive film theory approach with the theoretical framework proposed by blending theory, which posits that the human capacity for conceptual integration underpins most of our daily endeavors, this book establishes that flashbacks possess logical coherence and make sense to the viewer. Through a comprehensive blend of analysis and numerous case studies, this book showcases that successful film flashbacks tap into the spectators inherent perceptual and cognitive faculties, which they actively employ in their everyday lives. Serving as a valuable resource for scholars engaged in the fields of film studies, media studies, and cognitive linguistics, this book offers insightful perspectives and practical insights into the art of crafting compelling film flashbacks.
