As Gilles Deleuze notes above, Cinemas concepts are not given in cinema.

See chapter 4. C OV E R I L L U S T R AT I O N ( B OT TO M ): A camera follows two characters but runs into bushes and halts.

See chapter 2. FRONTISPIECE: Although Rudolf Arnheim in his 1933 book, Film, does not explicitly state the purpose of the illustration entitled Camera Approach, the following passage may be suggestive: The film artist shows the world not only as it appears objectively but also subjectively.

He creates new realities, in which things are duplicated multiplied, turns their movements and actions backwards, distorts them, retards or accelerates them.

He calls into existence magical kingdoms where the force of gravity disappears, and mysterious powers move inanimate objects, and make whole things that are broken.

He brings into being mystical bridges between events and objects that have never had any connection in reality.

He intervenes in the structure of nature to make quivering, disintegrate sic ghosts of concrete bodies and spaces.

He arrests the progress of the world and of things, and changes them to stone.

He breathes life into stone into a machine into a camera and bids it move.

Of chaotic and illimitable space he creates pictures beautiful in form and of profound significance, as subjective and rich in technical possibilities as painting.

It is at the level of the interference of many practices that things happen, beings, images, concepts, all the kinds of events....

Where Wittgenstein describes his effort in philosophy as one of returning words from their metaphysical to their everyday use, I habitually speak of the task of accepting finitude.

The attempt to satisfy the demand for the absolute makes what we say inherently private (as though we withheld the sense of our words even, or especially, from ourselves), a condition in which the good city we would inhabit cannot be constructed, since it exists only in our intelligible encounters with each other....

Wittgensteins disappointment with knowledge is not that it fails to be better than it is (for example, immune to skeptical doubt), but rather that it fails to make us better than we are, or provide us with peace.2 Stanley Cavell Film theory needs to be rethought.

I will pursue this goal by examining the many tangled, abstract languages that have been crafted by film theorists.

What are the purposes of such languages Are they meant to xiii RT2543C000.indd 13 111405 11:29:31 AM Preface become gradually more perfect at describing cinema What work do they do for us What sort of knowledge do we expect In this book I will analyze the complicated sets of meanings devised for the word camera.

My analysis aims to expose the diverse ways of talking through which theorists have made their claims, chosen their metaphors, and staked their conceptions of film.

The analysis will also reveal the basic approaches through which theories generate their languages.

We will discover that the various conceptual networks proposed by theorists have materialized not from metaphysical principles but from competing figures of mind arising from differing ways of life.

This book will survey the numerous ways we talk about a camera, including such stand-ins for a camera as a shot, image, frame, motion, motion picture, motivation, point of view, and narration.

The idea is that the lines of an image (solid, broken, hypothetical) taken together bespeak the presence of an apparent guide that makes prominent certain streams of thought in a spectator.

The reasons for a spectators thought, however, are less photographic and less visual, indeed less causal, than might be supposed.

Through a wide-ranging engagement with the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and classical and contemporary theorists of film, I will argue that the patterns we find important in film have been projected through our linguistic behavior (our language-games) as well as through a multitude of embodied, schematic descriptions.

The result is a folk theory of film and implicit folk psychology that guide our decisions about how to look at an image, imagine its completion, form prototypes, make revisions, and recall meanings.
