Beskrivning

A Cinematic Mode of Existence studies what images can do. Can the percepts and affects that cinematic images engender shape our eyes anew, by which we do not just see differently, but see different things and different worlds with many eyes? Expanding on Gilles Deleuze’s work on cinema, the book practices a new, perspectival analytic of the image honed to movement. In doing immanent analyses of numerous filmic works, the book blows wide open cinema’s modern constitution, its all-too-narrow, anthropocentric operative logic, and the natural mode of perception underlying it. A spiritual automaton, an extraordinary machine for perspectives, a cosmopolitical medium for the more-than-human – cinema far exceeds what we have dogmatically held it for, and only in starting to see that can we learn to live with its images in ways that they do not just haunt and possess us.

How does the cinema world? This question haunts Kuipers’ A Cinematic Mode of Existence. What techniques of existence are generated here, at the interstices where the images catch perspectives in the making? And how do these perspectives, emergent forces of life-living, push up against the urgency of a more-than-human angling, a life lived artfully in difference without separability?
