tailieunhanh - Film Cool: Towards a New Film Aesthetic

Possibly nothing in Kant’s philosophy has left more room for confusion and debate than his writings on the pure intuition of space. In no small part this is due to Kant’s aggravatingly brief discussion of what was nothing less than a radical and revolutionary idea in philosophy. But in part it is also due to a pervasive tendency to admix the idea of space with that of geometry, and to a seeming obviousness of what is meant by the term “space.” For most of us, “space” taken as an object means “physical space,” and there would seem to. | Film Cool Towards a New Film Aesthetic Bruce Isaacs A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. University of Sydney. 2006. Copyright by Bruce Isaacs 2006. All rights reserved. 2 Acknowledgements. This thesis was undertaken as a defence of a love of film. The indulgence of completing this work was supported by my excellent supervisor Axel Kruse. I ve heard that a PhD candidature can be arduous even a trial. Axel ensured that mine was always a pleasure. Miraculously and in spite of the freedom Axel afforded me at every stage of this project it s actually come to an end. For encouragement and support throughout my life I thank my family. I thank my twin brother Herschel Isaacs in particular for shared interests and understanding beyond reckoning. I don t know how to thank Rebecca Goldsworthy my partner for what she has brought to this work and to my life. So I ll leave it at that. For companionship during a crucial seven week writing period in 2005 I thank Nordberg.
