No matter how many times I sit down to try and write, I end up with more reading on my plate. Looking for literature on semio-pragmatics in film theory, I ended up at Warren Buckland’s The Cognitive Semiotics of Film. The first chapter is available as a viewable (and downloadable but not printable) pdf. I am quite sure that this is some sort of staple reading in Film Theory (I always feel so green when I come upon these books!).
When I went out to buy this book – which I could not find in any of the popular book chains (will have to look at Olivieri and other University book stores methinks). I ended up buying Deleuzes’ Cinema 2: The Time-Image. Another staple in film theory as I am finding out by how much it is brought up among my colleauges. I wish all I could do was read – this writing thing is slowing me down I tell ya! =)
