  • The Address of the Eye
    Vivian Sobchack
    Cinema is a sensuous object, but in our presence it becomes also a sensing, sensual, sense-making subject.

Maintaining that these premises ignore the material and cultural-historical ...

  • Seeing Films Politically
    Mas’ud Zavarzadeh
    In this bold political rethinking of contemporary film theory, Zavarzadeh overturns the dominant concepts that fetishize film as a work of art or simple entertainment.

Seeing films, he argues, is part of th...

Most commentators leave Hitchcock’s self-assessment unquestioned, but this book shows that his movies convey an affectionate, hopeful understanding of human nature and the redemptive possibilities of love.

Developing the technique formulated in her Eisenstein’s Ivan the Terrible (Princeton, 1981), she clearly demonstrates the flexibility of the neoformalist approach. She argues that critic...
