Insofar as the image was part of the discourse of subjectivity/representation, getting rid of the subject involved smuggling the concept of the image out of the discourse of subjectivity/representation into a newly revived and ethically flavored metaphysical discourse?a metaphysics of immanence, which was more interested in consciousness rather than subjectivity, in the inhuman rather than the human, in the virtual rather than the real, in Time rather than temporalization, in Memory rather than memory-images, in Imagination rather than images, in sum, in impersonal forces, de-personalizing experiences, states of dis-embodiment characterized by the breaking down of sensory-motor schemata (Bergson?s pure memory, Sartre?s image-consciousness, Deleuze?s time-image) or, more generally, in that which remains beyond representation id est beyond subjectivity (Lyotard?s sublime, Baudrillard?s fatal object). The book would be of interest to scholars and students of philosophy, aesthetics, and film theory. 410 0$aConsciousness, literature & the arts ;$v5. 606 $aPhilosophy, French 606 $aPhilosophy 615 0$aPhilosophy, French. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 676 $a791.43684 700 $aTrifonova$b Temenuga$01598519 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816576103321 996 $aThe image in French philosophy$93920803 997 $aUNINA
