Although no-one goes to the cinema in the novel, and its narrator is critical of a 'merely' cinematographic account of reality, the proposition of \u003cem\u003eThinking Cinema with Proust\u003c\/em\u003e is that the \u003cem\u003eRecherche\u003c\/em\u003e can provide a powerful catalyst for re-thinking the cinema, and that the 'structural absence' of cinema from Proust's novel is rich in implications. Drawing on a complex terrain of intersections and overlaps between the experience of the spectator and that of Proust's narrator and reader, the book is focused around a series of motifs - reverie, the camera obscura, the magic lantern, projection, gesture and 'screen memory' - which enable a fluid movement back and forth between Proust and film theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatrick ffrench is Professor of French at King's College London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Legenda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50482089754898,"sku":"9781781886366","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ed1a398c-852a-44aa-96b5-8fcf8c9c5a93.jpg?v=1730339771","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/thinking-cinema-with-proust-9781781886366","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
