Theorizing the Moving Image brings together a selection of essays written by one of the leading critics of film over the past two decades. In this volume, Noël Carroll examines theoretical aspects of film and television through penetrating analyses of such genres as soap opera, documentary, and comedy, and such topics as sight gags, film metaphor, point-of-view editing, and movie music. Throughout, individual films are considered in depth. Carroll's essays, moreover, represent the cognitivist turn in film studies, containing in-depth criticism of existing approaches to film theory, and heralding a new approach to film theory.

A l'échelle mondiale, Noël Carroll est un théoricien bien connu du champ de l'esthétique et des études cinématographiques. Aucun de ses livres, pourtant, n'a été jusqu'ici traduit en français. Sans doute l'approche très rationnelle que propose Carroll de la théorie du cinéma détonne-t-elle un peu dans le paysage de l'esthétique française, où le culte de l'intuition et du je-ne-sais-quoi - les bêtes noires de l'auteur - est encore très vivace. Pourtant, ce n'est pas un livre de désenchantement que cette Philosophie des films ; on pourrait même dire que l'ineffable, la poésie et l'informulable commencent là où un travail de catégorisation comme celui de Carroll est terminé. La clé de voûte de ce livre, en effet, est le concept de catégorie, et son moteur la volonté d'éclaircir le discours. De quoi parle-t-on exactement lorsqu'on dit qu'un film est plus cinématographique qu'un autre ? Ou, plus simplement, et comme cela arrive tous les jours, lorsqu'on dit qu'un film est meilleur qu'un autre ? Tout lui est bon pour répondre : pas seulement les chefs-d'oeuvre estampillés du Septième Art, mais les films du tout-venant, ceux qu'on regarde au quotidien, sur toutes sortes d'écrans, quelquefois à la sauvette.

Post-Theory is absolutely timely as a call to reform the field of film studies. Bordwell and Carrolltwo of the most prominent names in the fieldadvocate pluralism, open mindedness, film theories over film Theory, and the need for an ongoing critical dialogue. There is no other book like it.Andrew Horton, author of Writing the Character-Centered Screenplay With Post-Theory, David Bordwell and Nol Carroll challenge the prevailing practices of film scholarship. Since the 1970s, film scholars have been searching for a unified theory that will explain all sorts of films, their production, and their reception; the field has been dominated by structuralist Marxism, varieties of cultural theory, and the psychoanalytic ideas of Freud and Lacan. Bordwell and Carroll ask, why not employ many theories tailored to specific goals, rather than searching for a unified theory? Post-Theory offers fresh directions for understanding film, presenting new essays by twenty-seven scholars on topics as diverse as film scores, audience response, and the national film industries of Russia, Scandinavia, the U.S., and Japan. They use historical, philosophical, psychological, and feminist methods to tackle such basic issues as: What goes on when viewers perceive a film? How do filmmakers exploit conventions? How do movies create illusions? How does a film arouse emotion? Bordwell and Carroll have given space not only to distinguished film scholars but to non-film specialists as well, ensuring a wide variety of opinions and ideas on virtually every topic on the current agenda of film studies. Full of stimulating essays published here for the first time, Post-Theory promises to redefine the study of cinema.
