Theory of the Avant/Garde Bibliography

Theses on the Inversion of the Cinema Bibliography

A set of theoretical theses contrasting cinema and the life-world; cinema is described as a totalizing, non-linear apparatus anchored to the film reel, credits, cuts and industrial projection, while the life-world is decompressed, linear, characterized by spill, clutter and continuous movement. The text treats inscription of character, scopophilic fetishization, the flow of capital and desire, the camera as pineal gland and frame rates (16, 18, 24, 25 fps), and cites Edison and Metz. It concludes by proposing an indefinite film traversing continuous space and asserting mutual dependence of cinema and subject.

Throat Bibliography

Leslie Thornton's The Great Invisible is a film project (35 min. 16mm preliminary version, 1993; 90 min. 16mm version in process) that stages the life of Isabelle Eberhardt (1877–1904) through archival footage, four actresses, untranslated Arabic soundtrack sections, title cards, and references to technologies such as Edison-era phonography, railroads, and the Sony Pyxis GPS. The text recounts Eberhardt's biography: illegitimate child educated by a Russian Orthodox figure, flight to the Mahgreb at 20, cross-dressing, travels through Algerian oases, marriage to an Arab clerk, and death in a 1904 flash flood. The essay analyses cinematic strategies and themes including silencing, signifier/signified relations, neurasthenia, maternal chora, spectacle and placelessness, and notes performances by Thornton and Ron Vawter.
