Chaoid Cinema: Deleuze & Guattari and the Topological Vector of Silence
Colin Gardner
A Deleuzian analysis of the role of silence as chaotic interstice in sound film
Applies Deleuze and Guattari’s Chaoids to cinema for the first time
Uses case studies from world cinemas - Iran, Brazil, France, UK, U.S.A., Germany – to explore different philosophical, cultural and historical contexts
Brings together Film-Philosophy, Comparative Literature (Lettrism, Iranian poetry, Joyce and Ponge), Film History and radical movements from the 1960s and ‘70s
Expanding on a burgeoning area in contemporary film studies that explores visual and aural absences and interstices in film narrative, this book explores silences in the soundtrack – not ambient silence or so-called ‘room tone’ but complete sound drop-outs, as if the film projector had broken down, thereby jolting the audience out of their passive relationship to the screen, forcing them to become aware of their surroundings and the material apparatus of film as a mechanical device.
