Georges Didi-Huberman and Film

Alison Smith, Lúcia Nagib, Tiago De Luca

"Georges Didi-Huberman is a philosopher of images whose work is overdue for attention from English-language readers. Since the publication of his first book, a study of photographic images of hysteria, in 1982, he has published 46 essays, mostly with the prestigious Editions de Minuit, and is recognised in France and elsewhere in Europe as one of the foremost philosophers of the image writing today. This book will concentrate on how Didi-Huberman's work has been informed by cinema, especially in his major (and ongoing) recent work L'Oeil de l'Histoire (The Eye of History)"--
