Description de l'ouvrage :
This innovative volume demonstrates the embodiment of time to be a vital part of the aesthetic experience of cinema. Analysing a broad range of films including Beasts of the Southern Wild (USA, 2012), Talk to Her (Spain, 2002), Millennium Actress (Japan, 2001), Jab Tak Hai Jaan (India, 2012), and Jinpa (China, 2018), contributors examine key questions of embodied time as represented on screen. They explore how cinematic time can be a way of rethinking the centrality of the individual, of depicting gendered differences, of decentring western perspectives to represent a widened global context, and of expanding what embodiment means in post-human narratives. The volume not only highlights specific discourses of radical, lived experience in film, but also considers how distinctions of race and class, gender and sexuality, migration, religion, and indigeneity affect these depictions of embodied subjectivity.

Revue de Presse :
"In this diverse and thoughtfully curated collection, Bayman and Quinlivan have brought together a set of original and provocative chapters that delve deeply into how time is imbricated into our experience of cinema. Challenging the reader to examine what we may take for granted, Radical Embodiment demonstrates how the concept of embodied time is a way to focus on film's political, environmental, and philosophical possibilities. A genuinely valuable evolution of film thinking on time and the body." ―Lucy Bolton, Professor of Film Philosophy, Queen Mary University of London, UK
