Combining media archaeological work with art history, phenomenology, and film studies, the book offers close analyses of a range of historic baroque artworks and films, including Cache? Strange Days, the films of Buster Keaton, and many more. Walton pursues previously unexplored connections between film, the baroque, and the body, opening up new avenues of embodied film theory that can make room for structure, signification, and thought, as well as the aesthetics of sensation. 606 $aMotion pictures$xAesthetics 606 $aArt$xPhilosophy 606 $aPhenomenology and art 606 $aHuman body in motion pictures 606 $aSkin 606 $aArts, Baroque$xInfluence 615 0$aMotion pictures$xAesthetics. 615 0$aArt$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPhenomenology and art. 615 0$aHuman body in motion pictures. 615 0$aSkin. 615 0$aArts, Baroque$xInfluence. 676 $a791.43/615 700 $aWalton$b Saige$01070858 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136233703321 996 $aCinema's Baroque Flesh$92565265 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01463nas 2200481-a 450 001 9910647789603321 005 20220227213020.0 011 $a2049-6710 035 $a(OCoLC)746950728 035 $a(CKB)110978979436662 035 $a(CONSER)--2013250517 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110978979436662 100 $a20070321a19889999 --- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $auranunnnuuuaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aAsian cinema 210 $aHamden, CT $cAsian Cinema Studies Society 210 2 $aDrexel Hill $cAsian Cinema Studies Society 210 3 $aBristol, UK $cIntellect Ltd 215 $a1 online resource (volumes) 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 $a1059-440X 531 1 $aAsian cine. 606 $aMotion pictures$vPeriodicals 606 $aMotion pictures$zAsia$vPeriodicals 606 $aAsians in motion pictures$vPeriodicals 606 $aAsians in motion pictures$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00818721 606 $aMotion pictures$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01027285 607 $aAsia$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aMotion pictures 615 0$aMotion pictures 615 0$aAsians in motion pictures 615 7$aAsians in motion pictures. 615 7$aMotion pictures. 712 02$aAsian Cinema Studies Society. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910647789603321 996 $aAsian cinema$93017477 997 $aUNINA
