We have agreed to read a portion of Daniel Yacavone’s Film Worlds: A Philosophical Aesthetics of Cinema (2015). If you intend to join, please let me know. We will be discussing the second chapter: The Framework of Worlds: Symbolization, Meaning, and Art. Please also read the introduction to the book.
We have also agreed to discuss a film alongside this reading: The Draughtsman Contract (dir. Peter Greenaway, 1982). So, if you have time, please watch/rewatch it.
We will be meeting from 1-3pm Wednesday 20 May 2015.
