Image and Mind: Film, Philosophy and Cognitive Science

Rate this book
This is a book about the nature of film: about the nature of moving images, about the viewer's relation to film, and about the kinds of narrative that film is capable of presenting. It represents a very decisive break with the semiotic and psychoanalytic theories of film that have dominated discussion over the past twenty years. Professor Currie provides a general theory of pictorial narration and its interpretation in both pictorial and linguistic media, and concludes with an analysis of some ways in which film narrative and literary narrative differ.

کتاب پیچیده و سخت‌خوان بود، نمی‌دونم بخاطر ترجمه بود یا نویسنده پیچیده‌گو بوده. گاهی هم بخاطر توضیح دادن‌های پی‌در‌پی یک مسئله و تکرار جمله‌ها به گیج‌کنندگی می‌رسید. صفحه‌ها یک موضوع رو تکرار می‌کرد و به‌نظر من باعث بی‌علاقگی خواننده میشد. البته احتمال میدم برای منی که نمی‌خوام وارد مسائل فلسفی سینما بشم و فقط بخاطر علاقه‌م به فیلم‌ و جالب بودن اسم کتاب (تصویر و ذهن) در وهله‌ی اول، این کتاب رو انتخاب کردم سخت بوده باشه. گریگوری کوری جان اگه اجازه بدی راضی نباشم از اثرت.
