Publisher Synopsis
"The Time of the Crime: Phenomenology, Psychoanalysis, Italian Film is a critical tour de force: extraordinarily sharply observed, daring and rewarding in its methodological approach, and beautifully written. Torlasco has a gift for elucidating the visual and temporal emergence in film of the most abstract philosophical categories, which makes her book appealing on a pedagogical level as well." -- Alessia Ricciardi * University of California, Berkeley * "...Torlasco reveals an impressive knowledge of film and theory and succeeds admirably in elucidation both the films and the philosophical and psychoanalytical points to which they lead." -- <I>CHOICE</I> "In her impeccably executed Time of the Crime, Torlasco relates vision to temporality in ways that lead to a splendid conjunction of both phenomenological and psychoanalytic perspectives. Her conclusions have far-reaching philosophical importance. They are generated by a fine attention to film genres and their techniques, so visual evidence makes the philosophical points-a tour de force." -- Judith Butler * University of California, Berkeley * Read more...
