La Fable cinématographique
Is the break between movement-image and time-image a periodization of film history, or two powers that continually coexist within images?
CORE QUESTION
Is the break between movement-image and time-image a periodization of film history, or two powers that continually coexist within images?
CONTRIBUTION
Rancière uses cinematic fable and the aesthetic regime to challenge a neat 1945 divide, recasting Deleuze’s categories as tendencies, tensions, and recurring formal choices. It is a central dispute over the history implied by the time-image.
READING ROUTE
Read Deleuze’s account of the crisis of the action-image, then Rancière’s challenge; choose a film crossing both regimes and use shot evidence to determine how they coexist.
