This is the key question for film theory, and one that Thomas Elsaesser and Malte Hagener put at the center of their insightful and engaging book, now revised from its popular first edition. Every kind of cinema (and every film theory) first imagines an ideal spectator, and then maps certain dynamic interactions between the screen and the spectator's mind, body and senses. Using seven distinctive configurations of spectator and screen that move progressively from 'exterior' to 'interior' relationships, the authors retrace the most important stages of film theory from its beginnings to the present-from neo-realist and modernist theories to psychoanalytic, 'apparatus, ' phenomenological and cognitivist theories, and including recent cross-overs with philosophy and neurology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new and updated edition of \u003ci\u003eFilm Theory: An Introduction through the Senses \u003c\/i\u003ehas been extensively revised and rewritten throughout, incorporating discussion of contemporary films like \u003ci\u003eHer \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eGravity\u003c\/i\u003e, and including a greatly expanded final chapter, which brings film theory fully into the digital age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThomas Elsaesser\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus of Film and Television Studies at the University of Amsterdam and since 2012 Visiting Professor at Columbia University.
