The Material Gaze: Horizontalizing the Anthropos through Film

这一博士研究项目旨在构建一个理论框架，用来研究电影以及媒体可能发挥作用的众多方式，以与世界建立电影接触，从而阐明其居民，包括生物群和生物群的复杂纠葛。主要，我的目标是在电影和电影理论的框架内，重新设置简·班尼特和其他新唯物主义者的生态意识政治的背景。在这样做的过程中，我希望将这种政治定位为电影形式中所涉及的，并将媒体定位为其实践。

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.
