Kevin W. Sweeney, "The Persistence of Vision: The Re-Emergence of Phenomenological Theories of Film", Film and Philosophy, vol. 1. This article has disappeared from the internet, which is unfortunate. It is not listed in Volume 1 at http://www.film-philosophy.com/archive/vol1-1997/ Is this an oversight? I have found Sweeney's work valuable. Short excerpt from this article is here below.
SUMMARY OF ARTICLE : Two books are reviewed - Allan Casebier's Film and Phenomenology: Toward a Realist Theory of Cinematic Representation (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1991) and Vivian Sobchack's The Address of the Eye: A Phenomenology of Film Experience (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1992). Sweeney notes that the phenomenology of film has "forcefully re-emerged" in American cinema studies. "[F]ilm spectatorship be understood as a phenomenological encounter with a narrative world". |
