Cinema, Deleuze, Merleau-PontyAbstract
Some of the most innovative and influential ideas in film theory in recent years are indebted to the works of Gilles Deleuze and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It is possible to feel the presence of their philosophies and respective investments in the theory of cinema throughout the affective and sensory turns that have taken over the reflection on the seventh art. However, Deleuze and Merleau-Ponty are generally seen as opposites. Our bet is in the reverse direction. Throughout the article, we trace a slippery movement which draws the philosophers close and distances them and, at the end, outlines a kind of alliance. What is envisioned is a way of seeing and venturing through cinema in its continuous rebirth.
