French under the title Essais sur la signification au cinema-TRANSLATOR. ** Except in one case, where the repetitive passage was too long and was removed, the reader being informed of this deletion in a footnote. † It is principally in Chapters 3, 4, and 6 that the reader will encounter these rather exhaustive notes. This is especially true of Chapter 3, "The Cinema: Language or Language System?" which is the earliest of the articles reprinted ´ xi xii PREFACE On the other hand, I have allowed myself to make various minor corrections and adjustments in wording, for the purpose of clarification. The exception is Chapter 5, "Problems of Denotation in the Fiction Film." I have taken this opportunity to bring together (and to add to considerably) three earlier articles bearing on related topics, but each one giving only a partial treatment (furthermore, there were certain discrepancies among the articles). This chapter has, therefore, not heretofore been published in its present form, although many of the passages in it have been published. In attempting to improve the phrasing of the original articles, in adding notes wherever necessary to account for more recent developments, and, finally, in striving, in Chapter 5, to give a general and current description of the main problems at issue, my goal has been, in the still new and developing field of film semiotics, to present the reader with a work as coherent and up-to-date as its nature permits. I wish to express my thanks to the five publications in which the texts that make up this volume originally appeared: Revue d'esthetique, La Linguistique, Cahiers du cinéma, Image et son, and Communications, as well as to the Centre d'Étude des Communications de Masse (École Pratique des Hautes Eludes, Paris) which publishes Communications, the Polish Academy of Sciences, which organized the international symposium where one of the papers that constitute Chapter 5 was first read, and the Festival of the New Cinema (Pesaro, Italy), which organized the round-table discussion during which the last chapter in this volume was originally presented.

This course adopts an unorthodox approach to the study of film theory. Rather than beginning with theory and applying it to various films, we will start with films and seek to spin theory from them. This approach is rooted in French semiotician Roland Barthes’ famous observation in S/Z that, “each (single) text is the very theory (and not the mere example)” (p. 12). In adopting this approach, I hope to minimize what I take to be the chief shortcoming of theory-first approaches to the study of cinema, namely that they find what they go looking for and very little else. In this course, by contrast, we will watch films, attend carefully to their content and form, and use that as a basis for speculating about how films work to move and sway audiences more broadly.

Students will also encounter various-and, at times, competing-theories concerning cinema's ability to represent reality and narrate stories as the course touches on issues related to several important film movements, genres, and styles. Each unit of the course will end with the screening and discussion of a 1960s film by French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard that summarizes and places into conflict previously encountered approaches and theories. COURSE STRUCTURE The course divides into four sections: Section One covers the evolution of film style and theory in relation to mise-en-scène, i.e., the composition and framing of all elements in fro...

This essay explains Ordinary Language Philosophy (OLP), because it is relatively unfamiliar to those working in the field of Film-Philosophy, and proposes it as beneficial to film study. OLP provides us with a method of philosophising in relation to films that (1) is not theoretical, paradigmatic or thematic, and is therefore potentially unrestrained because it is not a priori or determining; that (2) is context sensitive, proceeding on a case-by-case basis, while also capable of synoptic overview (through connective analysis); that (3) encourages conceptual clarification and responsive articulation in order to present a perspicuous picture of individual films and our experience of them; and that (4) can act therapeutically by uncoupling us from unhelpful linguistic attachments that may restrict, helping us to see anew.
Course Syllabus, 2022
This class introduces students to the expressive properties of cinema, from the cinema of attractions at the turn of the 20th Century to the spectacle of special effects at the turn of the 21st Century. What are the major expressive properties of cinema? What are the major film movements of the last century and how do they inform cinema today? What methods might we use when studying film editing, mise-en-scène, cinematography, and sound? What is auteurism, stardom and genre theory? CINE 200 addresses these questions with an eye toward preparing students for the School of Cinema foundation course, CINE 340: Critical Studies.
