Post Theory by David Bordwell
Reconstructing Film Studies
This insightful work challenges the dominance of Grand Theory in film studies, advocating for a more empirical and analytical approach to understanding cinema. It critiques the reliance on overarching theoretical frameworks, such as psychoanalysis and Marxism, that have traditionally shaped film analysis. Instead, it promotes a focus on the practical aspects of filmmaking, audience reception, and the historical context of films. By emphasizing a more grounded and evidence-based methodology, it encourages scholars to explore the diverse and multifaceted nature of cinematic experiences.
