- Summary:
- Citing the character of Arthur Edens, surrounded in madness by a vortex of lights, images, and sounds connected to assemblages of power, capital, and transnational movements of peoples and information, in the film Michael Clayton, Pisters (media culture and film studies, U. of Amsterdam, Denmark) identifies a new type of character that has emerged in 21st century globalized screen culture: "the neuro-image." The neuro-image is indebted to the schizoanalysis, or analysis of capitalism and schizophrenia, of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari and is characterized by an omnipresent relationship to electronic images. She presents nine chapters, each of which is a case study of a film that allows her to reflect on this concept of the neuro-image, seeking to combine insights from film theory, philosophy, and neuroscience as she proceeds.
