BOOK
Hunter Vaughan interweaves phenomenology and semiotics to analyze
cinema's ability to challenge conventional modes of thought
Merging Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of perception with
Gilles Deleuze's image-philosophy, Vaughan applies a rich
theoretical framework to a comparative analysis of Jean-Luc
Godard's films, which critique the audio-visual illusion of
empirical observation (objectivity), and the cinema of Alain
Resnais, in which the sound-image generates innovative portrayals
of individual experience (subjectivity). Both filmmakers
radically upend conventional film practices and challenge
philosophical traditions to alter our understanding of the self
the world, and the relationship between the two. Films discussed
in detail include Godard's Vivre sa vie (1962), Contempt (1963)
and 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her (1967); and Resnais's
Hiroshima, mon amour (1959), Last Year at Marienbad (1961), and
The War Is Over (1966). Situating the formative works of these
filmmakers within a broader philosophical context, Vaughan
pioneers a phenomenological film semiotics linking two disparate
methodologies to the mirrored achievements of two seemingly
irreconcilable artists
