Introduction

James Batcho

pp. 1-23

Abstrakt

The reader is dropped into cinema as a continuation, in the midst of time. Setting aside distances of gaze and textuality, the introduction moves inside cinema to the thinking within that becomes a philosophical form of expression. This chapter proposes new terms for Malick's unseeing cinema: audibility, unseeing, logos, hearing/listening, virtuality/actuality, simultaneity/coexistence, independence without inseparability, etc. The metaphysical limit of unseeing cinema is an immanent, audible, Heraclitean logos. Major literature is addressed, particularly the joining of Deleuze and Kierkegaard and how they are brought together in Malick. Questions of faith and spirit are raised, and unseeing audibility is introduced as another epistemology, the unfolding of new paths of thinking. Malick's unseeing cinema is a coexistence of memory, time, and audibility that unfolds as an ethics of repetition.
