Free! Everyone welcome! Tim Groves draws on Barthes, Kristeva and affect theory to address two interesting questions (questions that Alison Gillmor has grappled with in her role as film lover and critic!) Why do we cry at movies, sometimes even movies that we hate? And how can we write meaningfully about highly subjective, emotional, even physical reactions to movies?
Reading: Tim Groves, “Cinema/Affect/Writing,” Senses of Cinema (March 2003).
