Argument
This foundational collection established Deleuzian film philosophy in Anglophone scholarship across philosophy, film history, space, gender, and thought. It presents the Cinema books as an expanding and internally contested set of research problems.
Core question
If the brain is the screen, what immanent relation joins image, thought, perception, and world?
Argument structure
The editor frames the relation between cinema, brain, and thought; individual essays develop it through philosophy, film history, space, and gender. Different authors place concepts from the Cinema books alongside their film materials, producing competing interpretations within early Anglophone scholarship.
