Conclusion: Toward a Transdisciplinary Critical Theory of Film.This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of film in the context of the Anthropocene: the new geological era in which human beings have collectively become a force of nature. Daniel White draws on perspectives in philosophy, ecology, and cybernetics (the science of communication and control in animals and machines) to explore human self-understanding through film in the new era. The classical figure of Janus, looking both to the future and the past, serves as a guide throughout the study. Both feature and documentary films are considered. .PhilosophyMotion picturesEthnologyPhilosophy of Manhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E28000Audio-Visual Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413190Cultural Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411060Philosophy.Motion pictures.Ethnology.Philosophy of Man.Audio-Visual Culture.Cultural Anthropology.128White Danielauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut988530BOOK9910300622003321Film in the Anthropocene2260414UNINA
