Toward Cinema and Its Double: Cross-cultural Mimesis

Toward Cinema and Its Double: Cross-cultural Mimesis

Editorial Reviews Book Description Toward Cinema and Its Double brings together Laleen Jayamannes discussions of Australian Films, Sri Lankan films, European art films, silent film comedy, contemporary American films, and her own films. While some of her essays are based on formal film analysis, others include more theoretically based ways of considering films. In her studies, Jayamanne employs Walter Benjamin's and Theodor Adorno's concept of mimesis, and Gilles Deleuze's theses on cinematic time and movement as tools for thinking about the cinematic experience in new ways. About the Author Laleen Jayamanne is a lecturer in Cinema Studies at the Power Institute of Fine Arts, University of Sydney. She is also a filmmaker, whose work includes A Song of Ceylon and Rehearsing and a dance video, LAMA. Her articles on her own film work and the work of other independent filmmakers have appeared in Screen, Discourse, and The Australian Journal of Screen Theory.
