Abstract

Since the 1990s the field of film studies has seen a rise in approaches to cinema that accentuate the idea of the body as a complex site of perception. This special issue of Brno Studies in English originated with the call for submissions that would reflect on these developments and apply them to Canadian cinema. The resulting volume has brought together articles by authors of different generations, who use a variety of critical vantage points to address cinematic works from vastly different genres. These range from experimental avant-garde cinema, to (self)reflective documentaries, through more traditional commercial feature films.

Abstract (in Czech)

Od devadesátých let minulého století se ve filmové vědě začaly prosazovat přístupy akcentující ideu těla diváka jako komplexního zdroje vnímání. Toto tématické číslo Brno Studies in English mělo za cíl reflektovat tento vývoj a aplikovat tyto nové impulzy na kanadský film.
