With an interdisciplinary agenda, Film Phenomenologies investigates the emerging field of film phenomenology, linking the fundamental significance of early thinkers and related methods of phenomenological investigation to newer emphases and diverse voices, such as Gaston Bachelard, Karen Barad, Simone de Beauvoir, bell hooks, Iris Murdoch and Hermann Schmitz.

Established scholars consider various themes, including colonial duration and the politics of refusal, feeling feminist time, the exchange of play, scalar theory and scattered bodies, spectatorship and the entanglement of montage, disability, dance and speculative embodiment, AI phenomenology and breath gestures, cinematic atmospheres, the precarious intimacy of the film screen, stardom and biopics, and Black lived experience.

Divided into three parts, Film Phenomenologies offers a collective combination of phenomenological approaches, braiding classic and critical methods to explore aesthetic, embodied, ethical, and political perspectives. It is the first collection to provide a substantial engagement with diverse and inclusive directions in the field of film and media studies.

Industry Reviews

'Kelli Fuery's collection Film Phenomenologies widens the scope of phenomenological inquiry into cinema. It shows how this phenomenology doesn't remain constrained in its theoretical origins to shed light on the most pressing political and cultural issues of our time. At the same time, it provides crucial insight into how the mainsprings of phenomenology as worked out by Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, and Beauvoir remain relevant today for thinking about filmic experience. Every essay offers new revelations.'--Professor Todd McGowan, The University of Vermont
'This is a gorgeous, exploratory book envisaging diverse and plural film phenomenologies. Beautifully curated by Kelli Fuery, it responds to situated experiences, expressing commitment to the ethical and activist potential of film experience. Encompassing studies of John Akomfrah, of Agn?s Varda, of play in C?line Sciamma, swimming in Moonlight, amongst many other subjects, the excellent essays here represent some of the finest writing currently in this field.'--Emma Wilson, Professor of French Literature and the Visual Arts, University of Cambridge
