Thank you. JGS With your permission Jerry, I would like to suggest a thought on this which may seem slightly off point but may help define a thread for this request. I would like to expand the holographic metaphore to thought and an earlier thread by Pradeep Atluri of harvard.med.edu regarding perceptions of beauty. There are two kinds of holograms. Transmission holograms which require lazer light to "reconstruct" the image and can be used to project (refract) light in any direction to any point. The other kind are visible in standard light and are called reflection holograms. The clearest kind of reflection holograms are made from the projected images of transmission holograms. Since the earliest cognative theories we've been trapped by a stage-in-the-mind metaphore when we think about imagination, thought and memory but we seldom discuss what is the "light" by which we "see" inwardly. Once we get beyond the mechanics of cats on mats and unmarried bachelors, I think we're left with the role of emotion in cognative processes ala Damasio and others. I imagine a memory process as a hologram of an emotional state. That is not to say each memory has its own emotion but that the memory uniquely reflects from the spectrum of emotions just as color reflects from the visible one. What's more, it also serves as a transmission hologram in that it serves as a lens which refracts emotion which illuminates subsequent perceptions. The builup, over time, of these lenses is what could lead to one percieving beauty or a devilish chord. So why don't we "feel" all perception? We cannot "see" light. only what is reflected. We cannot "feel" the emotion, only what is reflected. The challenge I am grappling with now is the notion of "intentionality" per Husserl in directing our thoughts to images and imagination. __________________________________________________________ Aesthetics Mailing List: aesthetics@indiana.edu To Unsubscribe: majordomo@indiana.edu List-Owner: Dominic Lopes at dlopes@indiana.edu Aesthetics On-Line Web Site: http://www.indiana.edu/~asanl From daemon Wed Jan 8 00:52:07 1997 Received: from roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (roatan.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.186]) by lux.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA09325 for ; Wed, 8 Jan 1997 00:52:07 -0500 (EST) Received: from miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (miagra.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.181]) by roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with ESMTP id AAA19419; Wed, 8 Jan 1997 00:51:37 -0500 (EST) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3/1.1skh) id AAA19494 for aesthetics-outgoing; Wed, 8 Jan 1997 00:50:02 -0500 (EST) Received: from cayman.ucs.indiana.edu (cayman.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.187]) by miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3/1.1skh) with ESMTP id AAA19484 for ; Wed, 8 Jan 1997 00:49:59 -0500 (EST) Received: from bernie.compusmart.ab.ca (root@bernie.compusmart.ab.ca [199.185.130.34]) by cayman.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with ESMTP id AAA26264 for ; Wed, 8 Jan 1997 00:49:59 -0500 (EST) Received: from [206.75.85.193] (remote529.compusmart.ab.ca [206.75.85.248]) by bernie.compusmart.ab.ca (8.7.4/8.6.5) with SMTP id XAA15664 for ; Tue, 7 Jan 1997 23:28:45 -0700 (MST) X-Sender: michaels@mail.compusmart.ab.ca Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Tue, 7 Jan 1997 23:53:42 -0600 To: aesthetics@indiana.edu From: michaels@compusmart.ab.ca (Shane) Subject: Aesthetics: On Schopenhauer's theories of art Sender: owner-aesthetics@indiana.edu Precedence: bulk Reply-To: michaels@compusmart.ab.ca (Shane) Status: RO X-Status: Could anyone help me out with some questions I have re: Schopenhauer and his take on aesthetics?

Completed papers with abstracts, suitable for 20 - 25 minutes delivery (8 - 10 pages, double-spaced, 2500 words) and a general abstract (approx. 150 words) should be sent to the CSA Program Coordinator at the following address: Joan Munro, Department of Educational Policy Studies, 7-104 Education North, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2G5. No identification should appear on papers since they will be vetted "blind". Detailed proposals for special sessions must include the names and affiliations of all prospective participants and a general abstract (approx. 150 words) making clear the objectives of each session as a whole. Participants must be members of the society. e-mail: joan.munro@ualberta.ca OR jmunro@planet.eon.net __________________________________________________________ Aesthetics Mailing List: aesthetics@indiana.edu To Unsubscribe: majordomo@indiana.edu List-Owner: Dominic Lopes at dlopes@indiana.edu Aesthetics On-Line Web Site: http://www.indiana.edu/~asanl From daemon Thu Jan 9 10:18:12 1997 Received: from roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (roatan.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.186]) by lux.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA19693 for ; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 10:18:12 -0500 (EST) Received: from miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (miagra.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.181]) by roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with ESMTP id KAA24217; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 10:17:12 -0500 (EST) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3/1.1skh) id KAA05416 for aesthetics-outgoing; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 10:14:39 -0500 (EST) Received: from cayman.ucs.indiana.edu (cayman.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.187]) by miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3/1.1skh) with ESMTP id KAA05405 for ; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 10:14:35 -0500 (EST) Received: from Bayou.UH.EDU (root@Bayou.UH.EDU [129.7.1.7]) by cayman.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with ESMTP id KAA10353 for ; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 10:14:34 -0500 (EST) Received: from [128.42.5.190] (pasyn-62.rice.edu [128.42.5.190]) by Bayou.UH.EDU (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id JAA06653 for ; Thu, 9 Jan 1997 09:14:23 -0600 (CST) Date: Thu, 9 Jan 1997 09:14:23 -0600 (CST) X-Sender: phil7@bayou.uh.edu Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: aesthetics@indiana.edu From: CFreeland@UH.edu (Cynthia A.

In response to what seems to be popular demand, I will now share it with the list (with apologies to a few of you to whom I already sent it): "Despite techno-Orientalist fantasies of Japanese takeovers or threats of asexual samurai manipulations of this transnational cyberspace that pervade the genre, the desire of cyborg America remains a drive toward installing (through sublime spectacles of transnational power that inform the Asian/Pacific space of a Japanized Los Angeles in Blade Runner or Rising Sun) a policed state in which the blissfully interpellated subjects of the democratic nation-state, having overcome more properly modernist moments of what William Gibson has called "universal techno-angst," will no longer object to their subjective entry jacked into pleasure zones of cyberspace nor resist being expelled into deindustrialized streets of exurban sprawl." (p. 292) This REAL SENTENCE is from "Cyborg America: Policing the Social Sublime in Robocop and Robocop 2," by Rob Wilson, from _The Administration of Aesthetics: Censorship, Political Criticism, and the Public Sphere_, ed. by Richard Burt for the Social Text Collective (Minnesota, 1994). It was a bit hard to make a selection, and I actually had an alternative entry too: "If such a sublime cyborg would insinuate the future as post-Fordist subject, his palpably masochistic locations as ecstatic agent of the sublime superstate need to be decoded as the "now-all-but-unreadable DNA" of a fast deindustrializing Detroit, just as his Robocop-like strategy of carceral negotiation and street control remains the tirelessly American one of inflicting regeneration through violence upon the racially heteroglossic wilds and others of the inner city."

Freeland) Status: RO X-Status: Anne Jacobson and Cynthia Freeland, both of the philosophy department at the University of Houston, have created a new e-mail list. It is called "Cogsci-Hum", and it is concerned with topics involving cognitive science and the humanities and social sciences. Below you will find the welcome message for the list, which will give you a somewhat fuller idea of the list's scope. If you want to join the list, you can do so by sending the following command: Sub cogsci-hum to the following address: listserv@listserv.uh.edu For example, if you are the president, you should send the following: sub cogsci-hum Bill Clinton If you encounter a problem, let us know at ajjacobson@uh.edu WELCOME! Welcome to cogsci-hum, an e-mail list created in December, 1996, and housed at the University of Houston. This list is for the exchange of information regarding topics at the intersection of cognitive science and the humanities and social sciences. We hope you will find it useful and interesting. Cognitive science challenges some of the traditional models of explanation in the humanities and social sciences. In addition, cognitive science includes research on matters of importance to many disciplines not formally part of it. Furthermore, areas of the humanities and the social sciences include critiques of concept, theory and model building that may provide fruitful issues for cognitive science. Hence, there are many topics the list may cover. Many people professionally involved with research at the intersection of more than one discipline do not have the time or space for a list with very heavy traffic. We need, as a consequence, to start with some guidelines. As the membership of the list grows, members of the list may reconsider some or all of the guidelines, either adding or subtracting items. At this stage, the list is unmoderated, and all messages sent to the list will be distributed. Appropriate messages include notices about publications, grants, conferences, web sites, and calls for papers. They also include fairly directed questions about research and teaching. For example, an appropriate message could request information about syllabi and textbooks members may have used for a course on cognitive science and the visual arts, or such a message might ask for readers willing to review some of one's work in progress. Requests for views and reactions on specific topics are also appropriate and welcome. Inappropriate messages include very general and entry level questions (e.g., "Has anyone thought about consciousness?"), requests for help with student projects, and rudely critical remarks. Do notice that a reply to a message from the list will automatically go only to the original sender. If you wish to send your reply to the whole list, you can do so by following the general procedure for sending messages. That is, send your message to: Cogsci-Hum@listserv.uh.edu Listowners: (1) Anne Jaap Jacobson Associate Professor and Chair of the Cognitive Science Initiative Department of Philosophy The University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-3785 713-743-3204 (phone) 713-743-2990 (fax) ajjacobson@uh.edu (2) Cynthia Freeland Associate Professor of Philosophy and Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research College of Humanities, Fine Arts, and Communication The University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-3784 (713) 743-2993 CFreeland@UH.edu http://www.uh.edu/~cfreelan/ __________________________________________________________ Aesthetics Mailing List: aesthetics@indiana.edu To Unsubscribe: majordomo@indiana.edu List-Owner: Dominic Lopes at dlopes@indiana.edu Aesthetics On-Line Web Site: http://www.indiana.edu/~asanl __________________________________________________________ Aesthetics Mailing List: aesthetics@indiana.edu To Unsubscribe: majordomo@indiana.edu List-Owner: Dominic Lopes at dlopes@indiana.edu Aesthetics On-Line Web Site: http://www.indiana.edu/~asanl From daemon Mon Jan 13 03:25:57 1997 Received: from roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (roatan.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.186]) by lux.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id DAA07858 for ; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 03:25:57 -0500 (EST) Received: from miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (miagra.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.181]) by roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with ESMTP id PAA25004; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 15:35:13 -0500 (EST) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3/1.1skh) id PAA06143 for aesthetics-outgoing; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 15:33:12 -0500 (EST) Received: from belize.ucs.indiana.edu (belize.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.188]) by miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3/1.1skh) with ESMTP id PAA06136 for ; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 15:33:09 -0500 (EST) Received: from Bayou.UH.EDU (root@Bayou.UH.EDU [129.7.1.7]) by belize.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with ESMTP id PAA21760 for ; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 15:33:09 -0500 (EST) Received: from [128.42.5.199] (pasyn-38.rice.edu [128.42.5.166]) by Bayou.UH.EDU (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id OAA14624 for ; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 14:33:02 -0600 (CST) Date: Sun, 12 Jan 1997 14:33:02 -0600 (CST) X-Sender: phil7@bayou.uh.edu Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: aesthetics@indiana.edu From: CFreeland@UH.edu (Cynthia A.

If you want to join the list, you can do so by sending the following command: Sub cogsci-hum to the following address: listserv@listserv.uh.edu For example, if you are the president, you should send the following: sub cogsci-hum Bill Clinton If you encounter a problem, let us know at ajjacobson@uh.edu WELCOME! Welcome to cogsci-hum, an e-mail list created in December, 1996, and housed at the University of Houston. This list is for the exchange of information regarding topics at the intersection of cognitive science and the humanities and social sciences. We hope you will find it useful and interesting. Cognitive science challenges some of the traditional models of explanation in the humanities and social sciences. In addition, cognitive science includes research on matters of importance to many disciplines not formally part of it. Furthermore, areas of the humanities and the social sciences include critiques of concept, theory and model building that may provide fruitful issues for cognitive science. Hence, there are many topics the list may cover. Many people professionally involved with research at the intersection of more than one discipline do not have the time or space for a list with very heavy traffic. We need, as a consequence, to start with some guidelines. As the membership of the list grows, members of the list may reconsider some or all of the guidelines, either adding or subtracting items. At this stage, the list is unmoderated, and all messages sent to the list will be distributed. Appropriate messages include notices about publications, grants, conferences, web sites, and calls for papers. They also include fairly directed questions about research and teaching. For example, an appropriate message could request information about syllabi and textbooks members may have used for a course on cognitive science and the visual arts, or such a message might ask for readers willing to review some of one's work in progress. Requests for views and reactions on specific topics are also appropriate and welcome. Inappropriate messages include very general and entry level questions (e.g., "Has anyone thought about consciousness?"), requests for help with student projects, and rudely critical remarks. Do notice that a reply to a message from the list will automatically go only to the original sender. If you wish to send your reply to the whole list, you can do so by following the general procedure for sending messages. That is, send your message to: Cogsci-Hum@listserv.uh.edu Listowners: (1) Anne Jaap Jacobson Associate Professor and Chair of the Cognitive Science Initiative Department of Philosophy The University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-3785 713-743-3204 (phone) 713-743-2990 (fax) ajjacobson@uh.edu (2) Cynthia Freeland Associate Professor of Philosophy and Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research College of Humanities, Fine Arts, and Communication The University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-3784 (713) 743-2993 CFreeland@UH.edu http://www.uh.edu/~cfreelan/ __________________________________________________________ Aesthetics Mailing List: aesthetics@indiana.edu To Unsubscribe: majordomo@indiana.edu List-Owner: Dominic Lopes at dlopes@indiana.edu Aesthetics On-Line Web Site: http://www.indiana.edu/~asanl From daemon Mon Jan 13 06:08:06 1997 Received: from roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (roatan.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.186]) by lux.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA15546 for ; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 06:08:06 -0500 (EST) Received: from miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (miagra.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.181]) by roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with ESMTP id GAA16419; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 06:07:03 -0500 (EST) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3/1.1skh) id GAA19087 for aesthetics-outgoing; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 06:04:48 -0500 (EST) Received: from belize.ucs.indiana.edu (belize.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.188]) by miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3/1.1skh) with ESMTP id GAA19080 for ; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 06:04:45 -0500 (EST) Received: from mailsun.aber.ac.uk (patman@mailsun.aber.ac.uk [144.124.16.7]) by belize.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with SMTP id GAA26895 for ; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 06:04:45 -0500 (EST) Received: from drapcbece (actually host pcbece.dra.aber.ac.uk) by mailsun.aber.ac.uk with SMTP (XTPPst-c); Mon, 13 Jan 1997 11:03:05 +0000 Message-ID: <32DA1514.43AB@aber.ac.uk> Date: Mon, 13 Jan 1997 10:58:47 +0000 From: Daniel Meyer-Dinkgrafe Organization: University of Wales, Aberystwyth X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win16; I) To: aesthetics@indiana.edu Subject: Aesthetics: Studies in the Literary Imagination Call for Abstracts MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-aesthetics@indiana.edu Precedence: bulk Reply-To: Daniel Meyer-Dinkgrafe Status: RO X-Status: The editors of Studies in the Literary Imagination have indicated interest in a special issue on *Consciousness and World Drama* They have asked me to provide a detailed proposal for such an issue. I am, therefore, now inviting abstracts for papers, which I would then include in my proposal. Publication might be as late as fall 2000, because the journal is scheduled through fall 1999. Papers collected in the issue would relate consciousness in its various aspects (ordinary and altered or higher states) to drama (as opposed to performance). Papers could focus on consciousness as portrayed in drama, as experienced by dramatic characters, dramatic techniques employed by dramatists in causing specific consciousness-related effects in readers/spectators. Different models of consciousness (Freud, Jung, neurophysiological, computer-based, Indian, etc.) could provide different answers to questions such as: what happens in the mind of the dramatist when he/she writes a play? what happens in the mind of the reader when reading a play (spectator watching a play)? Deadline for abstracts: 1 March 1997 I will prepare the proposal to the journal by March 15, and contact each potential contributor as soon as I have heard from the editors of the journal.

At this conference, I will chair a workshop entitled *Theatre and Consciousness: The Psychology of Performance* Some of the questions that might be discussed at the workshop include: What happens in the minds of actors while performing? Do they get involved emotionally? Do they identify with the characters they play? Do/can they experience altered states of consciousness, such as translumination? How do they wind down after a performance? What happens in the minds of spectators while watching a play? Do they identify with the character, or with the actor, or not at all? What is involved in catharsis, and who experiences it, first actor and then spectator, or only the spectator by whatever the actors do on stage? How do Western and non- Western approaches to one or more of these issues differ? What can be gained from an intercultural approach? 1 January 1998 Deadline for 1-page abstracts. 1 February 1998 my response to all those who submitted an abstract 1 June 1998 Deadline for completed papers, maximum 3000 words 50% of all conference papers will be published in the journal of the ISSEI, *The European Legacy*.

Cambridge University Press, 1996 426 pps. index. $33.95 (US). Courtesy British Society of Aesthetics Newsletter. Theorizing the Moving Image gathers twenty-eight of Noel Carroll's essays in film theory written since the late 1970s. These pages reinforce his outlaw persona in American cinema studies. Established in 1982 with "Address the Heathen," the hammering, 74-page critical article directed at Stephen Heath's Questions of Cinema in the journal October, that persona has been the lens through which he is most often regarded. Six years later, Carroll followed up demolition of Heath with twin books, Mystifying Movies: Fads and Fallacies in Contemporary Film Theory (Columbia, 1988) and Philosophical Problems of Classical Film Theory (Princeton, 1988). There was also a third study, The Philosophy of Horror, or, the Paradoxes of the Heart (Routledge, 1991), in which Carroll demonstrated the constructive side of his own theoretical approach. Typically of him in this mode, Carroll restricted the range of issues, in this case to a single genre. The book was scarcely noticed. Many of the essays in Theorizing the Image are similarly specific, focused on sharply defined questions. Some suggest further books of "re-constructive" theory that might resemble the horror study. For just example, "From Real to Reel: Entangled in Nonfiction Film," sketches a critical method for documentary film that bears comparison -- at least by way of a symmetry -- with the analysis Carroll devises for the horror book. Horror is an emphatically a fiction depicting something we know not to be possible. How, he analyses, do we deal with horror, or "art horror," as a mode of representation? Non-fiction films have been defined in the opposite way, as representing what actually exists. Hence they have been discussed within realistic standards "objectivity," and, conversely, against the "subjectivity" of their makers. The tangle most theoretical (and critical) discussions of documentary films fall into is woven out of this matched concepts. This choice if concepts is mistaken, Carroll argues. The relevant standards should really be those of right exposition and evidence, just as they apply work in other forms of non-fictional representation, like history-writing. As Carroll elaborates his straightforward, but quite intricately cased argument, the problematical features of much of the critical debates surrounding documentary films come into relief. The commonsensical clarity with which Carroll typically develops theoretical problems is persuasive, although it is rarely exciting. Sketchier but more suggestive of ways through the thickets that have grown up around standard issues of interpreting films are instanced here with "Causation, the Ampliation of Movement and Avant-Garde Film" and "Language and Cinema: Preliminary Notes for a Theory of Verbal Images." These essays provide lucid protocols for analysis of experimental films. "Notes on the Sight Gag" provides a schema for the study of silent comedy films. However, this neutral kind of theoretical problem-setting and problem-solving is peculiarly disconnected from the urgencies and disputes of "film culture," even the oddly detached quadrant of it that makes up the cinema studies academy. This is not to say that Carroll writes as a distant philosopher, as one often feels about, say, I.C. Jarvie or Stanley Cavell when they write on cinema. There are pages here beautifully tuned to Warren Sonbert, Stan Brakhage, Renoir and Keaton, and Carroll is justly notorious for the often weird range of his cinema references and his deftness in weaving film examples into his writing. But his thinking overall is detached from the premises and urgencies not predominant in much contemporary film theory. That is at least the case when Carroll is not directly engaged in attacking that theory. About half of Theorizing the Moving Image belongs to his consistent and uncompromised opposition to the theoretical position of what he terms "the cinema studies establishment," and that is usually called "contemporary film theory." It is this side of him that has earned Carroll a reputation as a dangerous controversialist. Several facets of this opposition to cinema theory are on view here, including a lengthy section devoted to "Polemical Exchanges" in which he answers his opponents or reviews a book, Kaja Silverman's The Acoustic Mirror. Until quite recently, Carroll taught philosophy at Cornell University. His area was aesthetics, not cinema. Although he took one of his degrees in film studies at New York University, his activity as a film scholar was, for a time, circumscribed by other academic obligations. Since writing the two theory books of 1988, however, Carroll has moved to The University of Wisconsin (Madison) and linked his endeavours to those of David Bordwell, a prolific and increasingly influential film critic and historian. Bordwell's work has for some time counterpointed Carroll's, pointedly in the book Making Meaning (Harvard, 1989) in which Bordwell criticizes the interpretive and critical tendencies in the cinema studies academy just as Carroll had their theoretical base in Mystifying Movies. Both writers express a strong commitment to what is now being called "cognitivism" -- an "ism" of many parts, as both scholars cheerfully admit -- and both strong oppose the Althusserian- Lacanian marxist-psychoanalytical positions that sustain a great deal of current English-speaking cinema studies. Recently, Carroll and Bordwell co-edited Post-Theory: Reconstructing Film Studies, a large anthology of essays written by colleagues, students and ex-students. Most of the pieces assume a similar shape: first a sharp critique of established views on a specific problem, then the sketch of an alternative solution. This is also the shape of almost all Carroll's essays here, and he considers it to be a properly dialectical mode of theorizing, modelled on what occurs in philosophy. Post-Theory also bears two polemical introductions one each by Carroll and Bordwell that make it clear the book is to be as announcing a definite program has been staked out around Madison, Wisconsin, and that a cadre of strong scholars has been enlisted to its development. Theorizing the Moving Image will only improbably be read outside the Madison School's project manifest in Post-Theory. There was an unmistakeable eagerness about "Address to the Heathen" to engage in combat, and the same tone energizes Mystifying Movies. However, Carroll's fierceness with Stephen Heath, in the late seventies regarded as the doyen of post- structuralist theory, seemed to come from thin air. While his reputation as a controversialist was not exactly thrust upon him, Carroll came by it belatedly. Previously Carroll offered scant promise as an academic in-fighter. Initially, his work was characterized by a fluid methodological pluralism. He wrote his dissertation on Buster Keaton and simultaneously served as a founding editor of Millennium Film Journal, devoted to experimental film and house-organ of the important exhibition outlet in New York of the same name. The experimental cinema to which he was devoted received cruel and destructive drubbing from film theorists like Peter Wollen, Constance Penley, Theresa de Lauretis and Heath himself in the seventies. His five essays on avant-garde film topics in Theorizing the Moving Image, all from Millennium, exhibit a rhetorical delicacy and gentleness which contrast with the tougher tone elsewhere. He does express caution about "Avant-Garde Films and Film Theory" that runs against the grain of most theorists in the seventies who decided experimental films should become, in Wollen's influential formula, "counter-cinema" and carry film theory's fight right on to the screen. But Carroll makes little note of the attacks coming at the avant-garde when theorists judged that it failed to fit in this program. It almost seems as if Carroll did not register contemporary film theory at all. In fact, this is not true. During the period when he published relatively little on film, he was also reviewing, on the book pages of The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, some of the founding books of contemporary film theory, like Christian Metz's The Imaginary Signifier. This reviewing prepared the sustained attack in "Address to the Heathen." The significance of that essay cannot be easily overestimated, for it broke not just Carroll's comparative silence but was also the first frontal attack on the congealing academic consensus around the Althusserian-Lacanian paradigm. The progress of contemporary film theory has now become familiar through the agency of many expository textbooks. First, there were the Parisian formulations of the late sixties that broke with the structuralist phase of semiotics of the cinema. Then, the British adoptions at Screen in the middle-seventies, then the wholesale exportation to the U.S., led to a post- structuralist invasion of the cinema academy. Soon it was wearing the mantle of "feminist film theory." This variant became singularized after a very swift debate about how Freud could possibly fit the project of liberating women. In effect, feminist theory led to a canonized French post- structuralism -- or at least the Althusserian-Lacanian portions of it -- in the writings of Kaja Silverman, Mary Ann Doane, the Camera Obscura collective and others. Following upon many pages of pages written by him in Screen, Heath's Questions of Cinema became the canonical summa of contemporary film theory on its publication in 1981. The thrust of Carroll's critique was simply that Heath's arguments made no logical sense and could not be defended as theory on any apparent grounds. It was a case of someone calling out film theory's emperor on the coverage provided by his wardrobe at the same moment the academy's fashion writers were hailing the drape of his cape. That someone was, however, relatively obscure, and Carroll's call fell on deaf ears. The conjunction of feminism and contemporary film theory, it happens, led to an odd truncation of debate in American film studies. While the first "structuralist" wave of French film theory represented by Christian Metz's cine-semiotics underwent rigorous critique and debate, the second, post-structuralist wave was established more or less unchallenged. An important factor was that theory became entangled with the political and cultural project of the Women's Movement. (The structuralist wave had been politically disconnected.) As a consequence, theoretical models quickly became political paradigms. Take, for example, the abstract thesis of "subject positions" in cinema. The thesis seeks to account how a film visually orients and addresses the spectator's "subjectivity" (its definition is loosely derived from Althusser's theory of ideology). Initially devised to explain films operate so pleasurably as realistic illusions, the thesis took the form of an overwrought psychoanalytical reinterpretation, initially by the Lacanian Jacques-Alain Miller, of point-of-view editing devices so that "subject formation" and visual orientation in the image were conflated. This is what came to be called "suture theory." Feminist Laura Mulvey's further revised this same thesis by arguing that the viewer's subject position was always male, the illusion, or "looked-at- ness" of the screen spectacle placed in the point-of-view of character-and-camera, was female. All narrative cinema came to be seen as a latent expression of male sadism. Although his full critique of the "subject position" model in its originary French formulation appears in Mystifying Movies -- he sees it as theoretically incoherent and based on serial analogizing -- Carroll reviews its later theoretical revisions and proposes alternatives, in two essays in Theorizing the Moving Image, "The Image of Women in Film: A Defense of a Paradigm" and "Toward a Theory of Point-of-View Editing: Communication." The essays are, in fact, placed quite far apart in the book. Carroll does not draw the connection between Mulvey's model and "suture theory" in the point-of-view piece (though he does elsewhere in the book) but his purpose in "de- gendering" point-of-view editing is hardly elusive: so commonplace and banal a figure of cinematic construction, it should really be regarded as a communicative reflex of cinema (and of TV too) one, Carroll claims, is likely hard-wired into the human perceptual apparatus. It may now, on reading this collection in 1997, seem somewhat overly obvious that common figures of filmmaking as point-of-view editing carry little immediate cultural and political baggage (their on-site inflections in specific movies being another matter). However, for quite some time to question such Mulvey's revised model of "suture theory" -- and a fortiori the model and theory itself -- came swiftly to appear to be a refusal to acknowledge the force of sexism, or, what was worse, to appears "anti-theoretical." Carroll's comparatively dry calm as a refuting theorist in the face of the ideological urgencies with which film theory was conducted was regarded as a provocation -- and in some quarters it still is. Further, criticizing such feminist take-overs of theoretical models seemed to imply criticizing women colleagues in a newly expanding academic field. Carroll still takes pains, more than once in this book, to explain that his criticism of psychoanalytical theorizing should not be construed as criticisms of the feminist project itself. Indeed, his defense of "Image of Women" criticism provides a theoretical rationale for the feminist film criticism that Mulvey's arrival largely eliminated. He also adds, however, in introducing several sections of the book that such explanations will by no means protect him even now from such accusations. He is doubtless right about that, although it is characteristic of the sad state of debate that the colleagues Carroll disputes rarely trouble to read, dispute or even accuse him of anything, at least in public. Much of the emerging film academy in the U.S. attached claims to post-structuralist theory in order to secure a reputation for the scientificity continental theory afforded the humanities in the wider aftermath of structuralism. These theories also simultaneously keep up credentials of radical politics. Both needs were also inhibitors of debate over the source of their satisfaction. So successful was it in this respect that post-structuralist film theory expanded more than proportionately in volume along with cinema studies in the academy. Soon, it largely filled the institutional space carved out by the discipline itself, covering the domains of film analysis, interpretation and historical research as well as occupying the throne of Theory. By-standers, by which I mean those of us who simply taught cinema studies to undergraduates recognized how problematic this theory really was. Attempting applications to diverse cases, by study of the wider reaches of film theory (and of other kinds of theories summarily excluded by cinema studies, including the peculiarly excluded Lyotard, Derrida and Kristeva), and by noting unwarranted savaging of avant-garde and national "art cinemas" in favour of obsessive symptom-searching of "classical Hollywood texts" all proved consistently instructive. In such a setting, "Address to the Heathen" should have been a ballistic in 1982. It was well targeted in being directed at Heath, the strongest of British critics, and tightly packed with explosive criticism. October was not Screen, but it was a high- profile journal rounding six years of publication. Still, the denotation fizzled. It would not be the last round Carroll expended, but the promise of sustained warfare was disappointed. Heath's reply to Carroll, "Pere Noel," in October (Fall, 1983), was feeble and insultingly unsubstantial, as anyone following the debate noted, and as Carroll details in his "Reply to Heath," reprinted here. But, the point was, fewer than one might have expected were following theory debates. The next eight years, before Mystifying Movies, were very quiet. Contemporary theory seemed to continue but really attenuated in the eighties and was ready to limp into the waiting arms "cultural studies." The debate with Warren Buckland over Mystifying Movies, which began with Buckland's review in Screen, and Carroll's reply (refused by Screen and placed elsewhere), was just about the extent of the controversy the book's full-frontal attack generated. In fact, Carroll's reply to Buckland is in itself more interesting than it first seems. Carroll shows a significant conceptual waffling on his critic's part. A second-generation product of British film theory, and one of the few interested in the work of recent French semioticians, Buckland has been trying to negotiate a reapproachment between continental theory and "cognitivists." All he has to show so far is a feckless incoherence in his writing, and this Carroll has no difficulty in demonstrating. But the future prospects for what Buckland is attempting are not necessarily so depressing grim, as some hints in Carroll's rebuttal suggest. In the main, Carroll takes issue with post-structuralism, because of its strong Lacanian-Althusserian inclinations toward a totalizing Theory. His essays tend to be concentrations on specific questions, like point-of-view, music in films, film metaphors -- and Carroll actually terms this strategy "piecemeal" theorizing" -- a constant undercurrent runs along in an opposition to established forms of totalized Theory. As he also shows in Philosophical Problems of Classical Film Theory, and in the four closely related essays that constitute the first part of Theorizing the Moving Image, and in "Film/Mind Analogies: The Case of Hugo Munsterberg," Carroll sees the "essentializing" tendency of film theory since its inception to generate its most serious problems. The advantage of devising some theoretical "specificity of the medium," Carroll allows, is that it leads theorists to make an "art form" of a medium by isolating its distinctive features. This permits the theorist to distinguish an art from adjacent media. In the case of film theory historically, the recurring distinction fell between features of film and those of theatre. The problems arise immediately when these specifying features are pressed to explain what can be done with the medium, especially when it, like film, shares things it does, and does very well, with other media, things like storytelling and characterization. Contemporary theory inherits and worsens these classic theoretical problems arising with the urge to essentialize the medium, which older theorists encountered trying to define an art. Contemporary post-structuralist theorists tried to show that the distinctive features carry a nefarious and totalizing ideological power inherent in the medium. This attempt leads to all kinds of deformations of the film-theory project. Mystifying Movies carries the critique of these to their end, though many essays here offer relevant parts of that critique, and "Cracks in the Acoustic Mirror" offers a miniature rehearsal of the whole. The thrust is that the enlistment of Lacanian psychoanalysis to totalize the cinema has, in Carroll's considered view, utterly deformed theorizing itself because it insists that what can reasonably be explained by arguing from rational capacities of filmmakers and spectators must invariably be explained by theorizing irrational tendencies that control the techniques and forms of the medium. As Carroll explains it, psychoanalysis needs to be "constrained" to its areas where its explanations are relevant, and these cannot comprise the whole of cinema. However, as he has shown in The Philosophy of Horror (for example, in his discussion of Todorov's The Fantastic), Carroll retains affinities with aspects of structuralist semiotics which does not always or necessarily take up either a medium-specific or an essentializing position in order to model sign systems in cinema or TV or fiction. Semiotics, in turn, is not without historical affinities with "cognitivism" (and with Chomsky in particular), though post-structuralism, as received in the English-speaking world especially, was very inclined to forget such alliances. However, any notion of such affinities needs to be tested, and one of the curious absences in Carroll's disputes with film theory is the early "structuralist" work of Christian Metz. In fact, though, many sections of Theorizing the Moving Image indicate that Carroll is not a loner attempting to forge a new film theory, but is actually extremely attentive to historical precedents, exemplified by his essay on Hans Richter, and contemporaries. It is just that his reading list is not the canonical post-structuralist bibliography. Taking a wider compass, these may explain why Carroll's style of argumentation, though it is learned from analytical philosophy, remains readily comprehensible to film scholars whose training is often organized by semiotic models that, for all their saturation with bad analogies, totalized politicizing and sloppy psychoanalysis in contemporary theory, retains the skeleton of structuralism's reductionist-to-the-model reasoning. This is, at base, the same model Carroll also uses, though coming at it from another tradition of argumentation. Something similar should be said of Bordwell, a "Neoformalist" (which is to say he is an cautiously inventive student of the original Russian Formalism), shares with Carroll and semiotics alike a certain style of theoretical model building. The effectiveness of that style almost everywhere in the work of the Madison school of film scholarship. Some features of that localized alliance does help explain why Mystifying Movies is not as isolated a book as it may once have seemed. Besides Bordwell's Making Meaning, and other efforts of the Madison orbit of scholars (notably Edward Branigan's books on cinema narration), David Rodowick, in The Political Crisis of Political Modernism (California, 1988) and then in The Difficulty of Difference (Routledge, 1991), and Richard Allen in various articles, have been busily dismantling the apparatus of contemporary film theory from the inside out -- though not for the same reasons that Carroll writes to this end. The cumulative effect is now being felt, albeit slowly, across the "cinema studies establishment." There is a tendency on Carroll's part to see himself as a bit of loner, but Theorizing the Moving Image reads much less as an idiosyncratic book of essays than it would have six or seven years ago, and certainly than when most of the essays were originally published and enjoyed no active life in the debates of the cinema studies academy. It would be a gross exaggeration, on the other hand, to claim the situation is wholly reversed, and that Carroll's critiques and polemics are now suddenly fashionable. While the main authors of contemporary theory, such as Heath, have fallen silent or have, like Wollen, stopped writing theoretically all together, canonical contemporary film theory texts remain firmly locked into course readers and into the parade of expository textbooks, like New Vocabularies in Film Semiotics (Routledge, 1992), which continue the pass into the curriculum. Moreover, while an apparent eclecticism and pluralism seems to characterize the academy, so that even film historians, long regarded as the positivist wonks of cinema studies, are now accorded a measure of respect, this eclecticism is only apparent, and masks the absence of real debate. Theorizing the Film Image tonically indicates what some of that debate would be like could it only be released from needless inhibition. If "contemporary film theory" is hardly contemporary anymore, it retains permanent academic status. A lifeless consensus prevails about its importance, if not its centrality. In practice, it remains the template on which interpretation of single films, genres and even (back from the dead) auteurs are negotiated. And likely, for film studies at least, it is the base on which "cultural studies" (in all its pseudo-variety) will be positioned. This is the half-life institutional situation for film theory that Bordwell criticizes in Making Meaning, and updates in his introduction to Post- Theory. The circumstance also accounts for the necessity Carroll feels to provide well shaped alternatives in almost every essay of critique. The apparent advantage post-structuralist film theory enjoyed was its intoxicating application to seemingly urgent questions of politics and culture. Little in Theorizing the Moving Image reflects a preparation for facing urgent questions, but Carroll sensibly replies that theorizing about movies is not the activity that wins revolutions or ends world poverty, except in professors' fantasies. They would be better off doing more carefully reasoned theorizing that leads to a more precise and persuasive type of film criticism. It is also such a changed situation of cinema studies that Theorizing the Moving Image seeks to ferment. Its real accomplishment is not that it is an epochal or seminal book, but that it is steady and convincing as one variegated model of how film theorizing might proceed and theoretical debate conducted, should the cinema studies academy seek to resume those normal activities after the inhibitions of the very long decade of contemporary film theory finally concludes. -- Bart Testa, University of Toronto __________________________________________________________ Aesthetics Mailing List: aesthetics@indiana.edu To Unsubscribe: majordomo@indiana.edu List-Owner: Dominic Lopes at dlopes@indiana.edu Aesthetics On-Line Web Site: http://www.indiana.edu/~asanl From owner-aesthetics@miagra.ucs.indiana.edu Thu Jan 16 17:26:20 1997 Received: from roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (roatan.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.186]) by lux.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id RAA06886 for ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 17:26:19 -0500 (EST) Received: from miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (miagra.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.181]) by roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with ESMTP id RAA06678; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 17:25:26 -0500 (EST) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3/1.1skh) id RAA18440 for aesthetics-outgoing; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 17:22:06 -0500 (EST) Received: from belize.ucs.indiana.edu (belize.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.188]) by miagra.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3/1.1skh) with ESMTP id RAA18420 for ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 17:21:58 -0500 (EST) Received: from reed.edu (root@amon.reed.edu [134.10.2.10]) by belize.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with SMTP id RAA23180 for ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 17:21:55 -0500 (EST) Received: from isis.Reed.EDU [134.10.2.1 no identification] by reed.edu (/\oo/\ Smail3.1.29.1osf1 #29.2) id ; Thu, 16 Jan 97 14:21 PST Message-id: <2380661@isis.Reed.EDU> Date: 16 Jan 97 14:21:41 PST From: William.Peck@directory.Reed.EDU (William Peck) Subject: Aesthetics: romanticism To: aesthetics@indiana.edu Sender: owner-aesthetics@indiana.edu Precedence: bulk Reply-To: William.Peck@directory.Reed.EDU (William Peck) Status: RO X-Status: Greetings, friends of art theory.

I need some help. Would someone out there who is an aesthetician and can read Spanish please review a book for me: Katya Mandoki, "Prosaica: Introduccion a la Estetica de lo Cotidiano" (published in Mexico) [I have had to leave out the accents from the title]. Same deal as before: whoever makes the best bid gets the book and I announce a closure on the offer. I then circulate the review on Aesthetics Online and publish a hard copy version in the British Journal of Aesthetics Newsletter.
