Abstract

Resumo Este artigo propõe uma investigação analítica sobre a relação filosófico-binária, e historicamente dialéctica, entre a metafísica e a filosofia do cinema abstracta Continental , com a abordagem mais cognitivo racional da Anglo-Saxónica. Os objectivos deste artigo são três: 1) fornecer um resumo delineado das principais vozes, nas últimas três décadas, da filosofia do cinema internacional; 2) contextualizar as abordagens filosóficas do cinema dentro de uma vasta genealogia internacional; e 3) sistematizar as similaridades e diferenças entre essas abordagens. Em última análise, conclui-se, que estas duas grandes “escolas” poderiam ser entendidas de acordo com os modelos de sistemas centrípetos e centrífugos: enquanto a abordagem Anglo-Saxónica usa a análise cognitiva para ancorar empiricamente a nossa compreensão do cinema, de acordo com a lógica do racionalismo, a abordagem francesa permite uma abordagem mais progressista e inovadora que abraça a natureza transformadora da forma cinematográfica, a fim de teorizar como esta desafiou as convenções filosóficas e, mudou a nossa compreensão da arte e dos modos desta se relacionar com o mundo. Palavras-chave : fenomenologia, filosofia da imagem, filosofia do cinema, teoria cognitiva“Centripetal and Centrifugal Systems: Currents in Trans-Atlantic Film-Philosophy” offers an analytic survey of the philosophical binary and historically dialectical relationship between the metaphysical and abstract Continental film-philosophy, and the more rational Anglo-American cognitive approach. This essay’s goals are threefold: 1) to give an outlined summary of the major voices in the last three decades of international film-philosophy; 2) to contextualize philosophical approaches to cinema within a larger intellectual genealogy; and 3) to systematize the similarities and differences between these approaches. Ultimately, I conclude, these two larger “schools” could be understood according to the models of centripetal and centrifugal systems: whereas the Anglo-American approach uses cognitive analysis to empirically anchor our comprehension of films according to a logic of rationalism, the French approach allows for a more progressive and innovative approach that embraces the transformative nature of film form in order to theorize how it has challenged philosophical conventions and changed our understanding of art and our ways of relating to the world Keywords : cognitive theory, film-philosophy, image-philosophy, phenomenology
