More than a commentary on Deleuze's books\u003cbr\u003eon Cinema, Rizzo's work addresses a significant gap in film theory, building a\u003cbr\u003ebridge between the spectatorship studies and apparatus theories of the 1970s,\u003cbr\u003eand new theorisations of the cinematic experience. Developing a concept of a\u003cbr\u003e'cinematic assemblage', the book focuses on affective\u003cbr\u003eand intensive connections between film and viewer. Through a\u003cbr\u003ecareful analysis of a range of film texts and genres that have been important\u003cbr\u003eto feminist film scholarship, such as the Alien\u003cbr\u003eseries and the modern horror film, Rizzo puts Deleuze's key concepts to\u003cbr\u003ework in exciting new ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“‘Both an accessible introduction  to Deleuze's cinema philosophy and a major advance in feminist film theory,  this is a tour de force of lucid and creative thought. Rizzo's focus on the  body of the viewer provides a provocative reconfiguration of Deleuze's  cinematic taxonomy while opening lines of inquiry beyond the psychoanalytic  models and theories of spectatorship currently dominant in film theory. An  essential contribution to the field.'  ” —Ronald Bogue, Distinguished Research Professor at University of Georgia, USA and author of Deleuze on Cinema (Routledge)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In Deleuze and Film: A Feminist IntroductionTeresa Rizzo presents  us with a ‘third Deleuze', that is a Deleuze who is a cineaste and a feminist.  In this way we are given not only a new and rich introduction to Deleuze's  thinking and writing on film, but also a provocative rethinking of his work  from the perspectives of gender and film-making. This is an important  intervention into the growing body of work on the intersection between Deleuze and cinema.” —Ian Buchanan, Editor of Deleuze Studies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781441113405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40626134057166,"sku":"9781441113405","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781441113405","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
