Описание: Christian Metz is best known for applying Saussurean theories of semiology to film analysis. In this book, he uses the concept of enunciation to articulate how films "speak" and explore where this communication occurs. If a film frame contains another frame, which frame do we emphasize? And should we consider this staging an impersonal act of enunciation? Metz builds a novel theory around the placement and subjectivity of screens within screens, which pulls in--and forces him to reassess--his work on authorship, film language, and the position of the spectator. He draws surprising conclusions that presage current writings on digital media. His analysis enriches work on cybernetic emergence, self-assembly, self-reference, hypertext, and texts that self-produce in such a way that the human element disappears. A critical introduction by Cormac Deane bolsters the connection between Metz`s findings and nascent digital-media theory, emphasizing Metz`s keen anticipation of the methodological and philosophical concerns we wrestle with today.
