{"product_id":"poetics-of-cinema-9782906571389","title":"Poetics of Cinema","description":"Chilean filmmaker Raoul Ruiz is the author of some 100 feature-length films, along with numerous plays and multi-media installations. In \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e, Ruiz takes a fresh approach to the major themes haunting our audio-visual civilization: the filmic unconscious, questions of utopia, the inter-contamination of images, the art of the copy, the relations between artistic practices and institutions. Based on a series of lectures given recently at Duke University in North Carolina, \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e develops an acerbically witty critique of the reigning codes of cinematographic narration, principally derived from the dramatic theories set forth by Aristotle's \u003ci\u003ePoetics\u003c\/i\u003e and characterized by Ruiz as the \"central-conflict theory.\" Ruiz's impressive knowledge of theology, philosophy, literature and the visual arts never outstrips his powerful imagination. \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e not only offers a singularly pertinent analysis of the seventh art, but also shows us an entirely new way of writing and thinking about images.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dis Voir Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782906571389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.86w x 0.51d","brand":"Raul Ruiz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52418700935349,"sku":"9782906571389","price":21.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7dd1872b-9aa3-476a-825f-ee7ac5fb119f.jpg?v=1775570205","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/poetics-of-cinema-9782906571389","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
