5. Film and Phil: Bazin on Theater vs. Film - clip of rear window

Published: Feb. 1, 2014, 5:59 p.m.

Some open considerations of Bazin. \xa0Long excursus on lumping vs. splitting. \xa0A spiel I liked about truth-makers (as in Armstrong, and Davidson, just to give a couple of references. \xa0Davidson's Tarski-style idea: if a sentence is true, there is something that makes it true). \xa0All claims that A=B, if not tautological, are not strictly speaking true. \xa0They need to be made true. \xa0What makes something true if you lump: A and B are the same. \xa0What makes something true if you split: A isn't really A. \xa0Lumping: A is something else that is not A. \xa0Splitting: A is not A. \xa0Application to Film vs. Theater vs. verbal narrative vs.... TV. \xa0Rear Window as emblematizing TV-watching. \xa0Bazin on identification and resistance to identification in film and theater respectively. \xa0Subjective camera in Rear Window.
