Professor Alain Badiou: Cinema and Philosophy

[@amera7142]

This is the power of KZbin, that from a very backward and primitive place, you can attend lectures given by the greatest professors in the world.

[@galek75]

Do you actually believe in "progress?" Gay.

[@fluiiid]

there is no primitive place, there is only struggle and privilege

[@dexblue]

I thought you were going to write: 'From a very backward university where an esteemed professor mouths cliches about Native American sovereignties (while sitting on piles of cash that never make it to Native Americans), going out to the great unwashed of the KZbin Universe ...'

[@TheBebelehaut]

I'll see and raise you one. That from the backward and primitive places, the greatest ideas do come.

[@BruhBruh-ej4cd]

@@dexblue Why do you say that hes being clichè? Even when he speaks about painting or poetry, he tries to give a definition which is still not clear to everybody

[@heyppanda]

16:24 - 24:28 Second question: Why the relationship between philosophy and cinema? (Plato's cave allegory)

[@Claudia1949]

grande chiarezza utilissima per gurdare nella complessità dei film contemporanei.

thanks youtube for hitting me with such knowledgable shit thank you again love and support for the unsw arts and social sciences

The movie Sunset Boulevard is almost a paradign case of what Badiou is saying. First we all know "dead men tell know tales," yet the entire movie is a tale told by a dead man. Also the fact that the actors in film really did have the backgrounds of the characters portrayed. And in the final "I'm ready for my closeup Mr. DeMille" scene, delusion and reality become one. She is not really making a new movie, but in a sense she is. Last but not least, the title of the movie is false. It was actually filmed on Wilshire Boulevard.

[@brucezz1965]

When Badiou imitates hid friend Zizek and says : "and so on, and so on"

[@chuck1prillaman]

More succinct than the Noam Chomsky method: "The {terrible actions of the current subject} toward {an oppressed and/or exploited nation, people, sub-group of people or individual} are well known and have been thoroughly documented, and we needn't go into the details here..."

[@peterwright9934]

Or is Zizek imitating Badiou? Whatever, it is not used frivolously.

[@nawfalAbdullah]

Thank you ✨

[@HipHopLived]

A fascinating philosophy on cinema, but as is often the case, I fear some directors have taken it as an excuse to fabricate a cheap imitation of italian neo-realism. That said, the film Roma seems to me to get better the more I think about it. I suppose I'll have to think about it some more to see if it hasn't lost it's power or re-watch it.

Please add subtitles!

[@alf2540]

Yea it’s pretty hard to understand him lol. Love the French tho

[@aspitube2515]

@@alf2540He literally says the french words instead, it’s not just the accent.

[@naturphilosophie1]

am I alone in thinking Badiou AND Laruelle are a step backwards from Deleuze?

[@dyobodiu]

no ;)

[@LendallPitts]

Yes.

[@domsjuk]

I feel like lectures on youtube have some of that cinematic vulgarity about them... Anyway, not a bad or uninteresting lecture when toggled to young people speed, but it didn't in the least inspire me to go deeper into his material. It felt like reading "theoretical" papers (which often enough is a euphemism for lacking evidence, relevance or both) that don't really have much to say by themselves... Most of it is overly and pointlessly vague and abstract and lacking meaningful historical, ideological etc. context, while more arguments and examples in exchange for all the repetition would have been refreshing. There were many short-cut statements like e.g. that cinema is the today the only democratic art - sure, I see what he could mean by that, but all that feels solid and convincing about this statement is again something rather superficial like it is the most widespread form of art consumed and discussed. But then there are aspects, like production process, technique, media/algorithm gatekeeping etc. which complicate such a formulation, and there sure is a lot of diverse opinion to think about.... whatever, what I mean is simply, going into statement like that alone would have been more insightful than retelling a bunch of theoretical platitudes which weren't even especially comprehensive in the first place.

[@mawsilimawsili2474]

Defining language functions through Mallarmé is rather too elementary. Sorry Prof.

[@LOLERXP]

Lmao that guy at the beginning. So demolish the university and give it back!

[@AkbarAliyevBuludlar]

why can't he fix his pronunciation?

[@account9434]

if we all could learn french then there won't be any problem

[@ivan10veces]

Because it gives even more depth to his discourse

[@zetetick395]

How do you think _we_ sound when we speak French?

[@AkbarAliyevBuludlar]

@@zetetick395 I used to take French at college, I tried hard to control my pronunciation so that I make all those French sounds like 'gh' correctly, but it doesn't seem that he is trying or has been tryin, that's my point

[@ppwalk05]

image image, blah blah, image, blah, platitude, cinema, blah. The vulgarity of this pseudo intellectual drivel is astounding.

[@justinanderson617callme]

curious as to what you would prefer

[@ppwalk05]

anything of substance. This is just constant obfuscations and vague references, typical of French philosophy.

[@MrElicottero]

+ppwalk05 This is why French philosophy is complicated - because the way they write is usually the vital part of the point they are trying to make. (So as not to be accused of obfuscations and vagueness: if you don't understand the language they use, you really understood NOTHING.)

[@wesleyknochenhauer]

+ppwalk05 stupid guy!

[@ppwalk05]

Péter Kiss no it is obfuscated because they know anyone with critical acumen would sniff out the epistemic bullshit. Continental philosophy is a joke.
