The Intervals of Cinema
by Jacques Rancière
Translated by John Howe
'The cinema, like language, can be said to exist as a system of differences. In his latest book the acclaimed philosopher Jacques Rancière relates cinema to literature and theatre. With literature, he argues, cinema takes its narrative conventions, while at the same time effacing its images and its philosophy; and it rejects theatre, while also fulfilling theatre’s dream. Built on these contradictions, the cinema is the real, material space in which one feels moved by the spectacle of shadows. Thus for Rancière, the cinema is the always disappointed dream of a language of images.'
The description and cover above are taken from the Paperback (2019) edition.

“As an art critic, [Berger] had a unique ability to describe the great paintings of the past in a way which made his readers feel the canon belonged to them, that it was theirs to do what they wanted with.”
