| Description: |
This text addresses the role of film as social criticism. By looking at films and the creators of such films as "Falling Down", "City of Hope" and "Matewan", it argues that film can be both highly philosophical and influential on public debates over issues of moral politics and social importance. |
| Synopsis: |
In Reel Arguments , Andrew Light, known for his work in environmental ethics and the philosophy of technology, addresses the role of film in society. By looking at films and the creators of such films as Alice in the Cities , Enemy of the State , The Conversation , Falling Down , City of Hope , and Matewan , Light persuasively argues that film can be highly philosophical and influential. Though not the first to make such a claim, Light brings new insights into the readings of these films as visual arguments covering a range of issues: identity politics, urban landscapes, the politics of space, and the unexpected dimensions of technology. This volume will be of special interest to readers of film and philosophy. |
