Reihe: Value Inquiry Book Series / Philosophy of Film

Derrida and Film Studies views Jacques Derrida’s in-depth and meandering ideas within the realm of film. Bringing together audiovisual culture and deconstruction, the book explores the spectral turn of cinema. Seeing the phenomenon of film as impacted by deconstruction and poststructuralism, the essays offer a wide spectrum of perspectives and illustrate the reception of Derrida’s thought for a new generation of philosophers of film. Using both well-known and pioneering methodologies, this rich volume is an essential guide for understanding the importance of spectrality, hieroglyphics, writing and difference, and alterity in film.
