Sala Mattos Rom\u00e3o (Departamento de Filosofia)* |<\/strong> School of Arts and Humanities \u2013 University of Lisbon<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n The lecture is based on the onto-epistemological hypothesis of regarding film as a form of <\/span>artificial intelligence, core of my current research project. Such a hypothesis<\/span> draws upon the philosophy of art of Gilles Deleuze, who famously evinces in his books on cinema that \u201c<\/span>the essence of cinema\u201d would have \u201cthought as its higher purpose\u201d.<\/span> However, <\/span>understanding film as the thinking ability of a technical apparatus was first formulated by pioneer filmmaker and thinker Jean Epstein at a time when the cinematograph was both a recording and a projection machine and thus plausibly compared to a \u201crobot brain\u201d. By this token, I am focusing on questions that have been present since the very origins of film-philosophy, and shed new light on them through the speculative-materialist turn in contemporary philosophy and its critique on philosophical anthropocentrism. I will particularly\u00a0<\/span>enquire into the nature of the posthuman, the non-human, and the concomitant questioning of human supremacy referring to philosophers like Karen Barad or Rosi Braidotti. <\/span>Surprisingly enough, the theories of Epstein not only confirm <\/span>these recent nondualist principles of thought <\/span>but also show how they can be extended through an idea of film thinking beyond the human frame.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n *\u00a0The event will also be available via Zoom for those unable to attend in person. Pre-registration required at: praxis.cful [at] gmail.com until a day before the event. Those registered will receive the Zoom link by e-mail the same day of the Seminar.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Christine Reeh-Peters Konrad Wolf Film University of Babelsberg | Praxis-CFUL Film and the Critique on Philosophical Anthropocentrism 23 November 2021, 17h00 (Lisbon Time \u2014 GMT+0) Sala Mattos Rom\u00e3o (Departamento de Filosofia)* | School of Arts and Humanities \u2013 University of Lisbon Abstract The lecture is based on the onto-epistemological hypothesis of regarding film as […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":4,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"","activitypub_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2294"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2464,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2294\/revisions\/2464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
