As the spread of knowledge and even theory becomes an increasingly audiovisual affair, how can philosophy adapt in ways that develop rather than dilute philosophical rigor and specificity? How can philosophy harness the potential of audiovisual media being more formally multidimensional than text-only to conceptualize with greater precision and depth?
This book presents a theory of formal development of philosophy in this regard: a theory of cinecepts. While spanning film, media, art, and critical theories as well as philosophy, this study proceeds mainly through a close reimagination of the work of Gilles Deleuze, which allows for a merging of what he kept separated: filmic thinking and philosophical conceptualization. Jean-Luc Godard & Anne-Marie Mieville's underexplored 1970s Sonimage works are also the subject of extensive examination, along with critical considerations of a contemporary era of academic video essays and phenomena like philosophy channels on YouTube.

Industry Reviews

This book closely examines the interconnections between cinema and philosophy; in line with, but also moving beyond Deleuze. The words "cinema" and "concepts" are here tightly bound up to shape a new theoretical development of audio-visual philosophy. It comes close to a specific version of what I have called "Image-Thinking". - Mieke Bal, author of Image-Thinking: Artmaking as Cultural Analysis
