In \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e, Ruiz takes a fresh approach to the major themes haunting our audio-visual civilization: the filmic unconscious, questions of utopia, the inter-contamination of images, the art of the copy, the relations between artistic practices and institutions. Based on a series of lectures given recently at Duke University in North Carolina, \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e develops an acerbically witty critique of the reigning codes of cinematographic narration, principally derived from the dramatic theories set forth by Aristotle's \u003ci\u003ePoetics\u003c\/i\u003e and characterized by Ruiz as the \"central-conflict theory.\" Ruiz's impressive knowledge of theology, philosophy, literature and the visual arts never outstrips his powerful imagination. \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e not only offers a singularly pertinent analysis of the seventh art, but also shows us an entirely new way of writing and thinking about images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 8.22 x 5.86 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 02, 1995\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47576763859165,"sku":"9782906571389","price":27.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/bQuRy1MM-09782906571389_b62f3fa3-cf1e-4c8d-8662-211d28917cc5.webp?v=1773467558","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/poetics-of-cinema-paperback-5","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
