Corry Shores’ Deleuze and Cinema Blog

Keeling — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:20:12 +0000

Corry Shores runs another Deleuze and Cinema project online, Deleuze Cinema Project 1. There, you’ll find lots of great clips and helpful exegesis about and extensions of Deleuze’s work with them.

Deleuze and Cinema Project on Critical Commons

Keeling — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 01:58:49 +0000

Students in my Deleuze and Culture course have uploaded clips and commentary as part of our work last semester on Deleuze’s cinema books. Working with Steve Anderson at Critical Commons, we set up a “Deleuze and Cinema” page to which anyone can contribute. The clips and commentary from students in my class currently are the only contributions to the “lecture,” but I plan to add additional clips and commentary and issue an open invitation to anyone working with Deleuze’s cinema books to participate by uploading and downloading clips, adding comments and commentary, and directing others to the site.

Enjoy!

Future Perfect Radio Show

On the way to work this morning, I really enjoyed listening to an episode of the series entitled Future Perfect created by To The Best of Our Knowledge (PRI). The episode I listened to is “Part 2: Our Money”. Gratefully, my commute was not long enough for me to hear the entire show, but I plan to pick up where I left off.

Here is the link.

Debates about Precious

Keeling — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 21:31:21 +0000

While I recover from the semester and, indeed, the year, and gather my own thoughts about a film I found to be provocative and disturbing, Precious, allow me to direct your attention to the debate on Mark Anthony Neal’s blog about the film:

I am unable to say anything appropriate regarding the loss of my colleague and USC faculty mentor, Anne Friedberg. Here are links to others more articulate than I about her intellectual legacy, her personal style and charm, and the lasting impact of her life:
