The Material Gaze: Horizontalizing the Anthropos through Film

这个博士研究项目旨在构建一个理论框架，以研究电影和媒介可能发挥作用的多种方式，以建立与世界的电影参与，阐明其居民，生物群和生物群的复杂纠缠。主要地，我的目标是在电影和电影理论的框架内重新语境化简班尼特和其他新唯物主义者的生态意识政治。在这样做的时候，我希望将这种政治定位为电影形式所隐含的政治，以及将媒介作为其实践。

This PhD research project aims to construct a theoretical framework with which to examine film and the multitudinous ways in which the medium might function to institute a cinematic engagement with the world that illuminates the complex entanglements of its inhabitants, both biota and abiota. Principally, I aim to re-contextualize the ecologically conscious politics of Jane Bennett and other New Materialists within the framework of film and film theory. In doing so, I hope to position such politics as implicated in the cinematic form, as well as situate the medium as its praxis.
