Description

Empty Moments Cinema, Modernity, and Drift by Leo Charney explores the concept of modernity through the lens of cinema. Charney examines how film reflects our preoccupation with capturing the fleeting present, drawing connections between artistic, philosophical, and scientific perspectives on time. Through a unique blend of philosophical discussions and innovative prose, Charney weaves together ideas from Proust's conception of time/memory, Cubism's interpretation of time through perspective, and Surrealism's exploration of subliminal representations. The book also delves into the work of Husserl and Kelvin, highlighting the complexities of the present moment. This thought-provoking work will appeal to scholars and enthusiasts interested in cinema, history, philosophy, and cultural studies, offering a nuanced understanding of modernity's defining qualities.
