Description
Untimely Affects: Gilles Deleuze and an Ethics of Cinema by Nadine Boljkovac is a profound exploration of cinema through the philosophical lens of Gilles Deleuze, focusing on the ethical and affective dimensions of film experience. Boljkovac examines how cinema can evoke "untimely affects"—emotions and sensations that disrupt conventional understandings of time, identity, and narrative. Drawing on Deleuze’s concepts of time-image and affect, the book investigates how certain films challenge viewers to engage ethically with experiences of loss, trauma, and becoming. Boljkovac analyzes a range of films that resist traditional storytelling and instead prioritize sensory and affective encounters, encouraging a deeper ethical engagement with the moving image. This work is essential for readers interested in Deleuzian philosophy, film theory, and the intersections of ethics, affect, and cinema.
