N2  - Assesses classical and contemporary theories of cinematic realismExplores classical and contemporary theories of cinematic realism to assess their overall key concepts and intellectual configurationsExplores classical theories of cinematic realism more deeply through an analysis of Lukacs/Bergson/time and Kracauer/Husserl/SpaceOffers some conclusions on what the central key concepts and intellectual configuration of cinematic realism are; and on what consequences flow from thisThe issue of cinematic realism is important because the issue of realism, of the relationship between representation and reality, is important. If some forms of representation are closer to reality – however defined – than others, then this may also be the case with forms of filmic representation. In this book, Ian Aitken links the issue of cinematic realism to important questions concerning human experience, analysing the close similarity between the film image and visual perception, and how different theories of realism have sought to uncover the way film’s relation to reality can be understood.Focusing on the writings of Georg Lukács and Siegfried Kracauer, Cinematic Realism is a comprehensive exploration of cinematic realist theory
