- This book presents an in-depth study and overview of contemporary
embodied theories of film experience. At the same time, this monograph puts forward an original
and innovative take on this field of film studies by integrating a more scientific/cognitive approach
together with more philosophical analyses, more specifically, with an account informed and based
on the tenets of Baruch Spinoza’s thought. Because of this combination the text aims to bridge and
integrate disciplines and analytical fields often supposed to be antithetical, while, at the same time,
offering a study of the role of negative emotions and sad passions in film experience.
