Author Biography: Kevin L. Stoehr
Book Synopsis
Through the presentation of multi-layered themes, symbols, dialogue, characters, and scenes, film can promote in-depth theorizing about the philosophy of knowledge, argues Stoehr (humanities and rhetoric, Boston U.). He presents 14 essays that explore the power of film to interrogate issues of race, gender, language, consciousness, self- knowledge, and idealism. Nine of the essays explore the contribution of specific films (including Lost Highway, Citizen Kane, The Crying Game, Sum mer of Sam, and Rashomon), while the remaining essays concentrate on more general issues such as the contribution of film to questions of ideology, feminist theory, and the concept of the imagination.
