- The result of sustained research effort (approximately five years of research and two of writing), this interdisciplinary monograph straddles Film Studies and Philosophy. It is a complex, multi-layered and extensive (320pp) reframing of the philosopher Stanley Cavell’s work, in which the author examines Cavell’s philosophical work in light of his interest in film, arguing that this interest is determinative of Cavell’s entire oeuvre. The analysis covers Cavell’s output over the course of his lifetime (22 books, over 100 articles), including works concerned with film writing, philosophy of language and epistemology, psychoanalytical works, autobiography, as well as surveying the secondary literature.
