Film as a Dream of the Modern Man : Interpretation of Susanne Langer's "Note on the Film"

Abstrakt

The paper concerns a "Note on the Film," a short appendix to Feeling and Form by Susanne Langer. The interpretation interweaves the Note into a larger context of Langer's philosophical work - primarily in terms of her understanding of the dream as a lower symbolic form, to which the film is compared - as well as in terms of her account of literary arts among which, she suggests, cinema belongs.
