In 1971 Deleuze and Guattari offered their remarkable Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia to the intellectual world. Their masterful mix of Marx and a unique interpretation of Freud produced a new approach to critical thinking called "schizoanalysis," which scholars and critics have since applied to literature, art and music. Now editors Buchanan (critical and cultural theory, Cardiff U.), MacCormack (communications and film, Anglia Ruskin U.) and their contributors use schizoanalysis to investigate the transitory and permanent images of film, analyzing the phenomenology of cinema, the cinema inside the brain, the capacity to love without remembering, and the uses of the face, spectacle, delirium, and the spectatorship. This collection of ten papers closes with an essay on how the cinema represents love and death. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
