Call for Papers: Studia Phaenomenologica Vol. XVI (2016): Film and Phenomenology

Guest Editors: Christian Ferencz-Flatz and Julian Hanich

EXTENDED DEADLINE: 1 September, 2015.

The 2016 issue of Studia Phaenomenologica will interrogate the relationship of phenomenology and film. 

When it comes to associating film and philosophy, no other analogy is as persistent as the equation of film and phenomenology (except perhaps the cliché of comparing film audiences to the people in Plato’s cave). The film-phenomenology analogy is already foreshadowed by Husserl’s letter to Hugo von Hofmannsthal from 1907, in which he compares the phenomenological method to aesthetic experience. It is explicitly sketched out in Merleau-Ponty’s lecture “The Film and the New Psychology” from 1945 and it is then picked up by numerous authors like Bazin, Ayfre and others. According to this analogy, Acoafilm and phenomenology both share a similar view of perception as a temporal process, they both regard man as a being situated in the world, they both operate the same reduction of positional belief and they both hold the same affinity towards intuitive description.
