A World of Flowing, Intensifying Images:Molla Sadra Meets Cinema Studies
Laura Marks
13 Kasım 2014 Perşembe 14:00 Salon: ZEYREK SALONU
On November 13rd 2014, Center for Art Studies and İstanbul Şehir University will host Laura Marks* under the Kırkambar Talks. Marks will deliver a speech on “A World of Flowing, Intensifying Images:Molla Sadra Meets Cinema Studies”. The event will be held in Zeyrek Hall of the Foundation for Sciences and Arts at 14:00.
The imaginal realm is a radically pro-image concept, affirming the importance of poetry, art, and images in motion. As developed by the Persian philosopher Sadr al-Dîn Muhammad al-Shîrâzî, known as Mullâ Sadrâ (1571-1640), the imaginal realm flows and intensifies, becoming more real as it connects with other images, in a process philosophy we may fruitfully compare with Spinoza, Leibniz, and Whitehead. I will sketch the genealogy of the imaginal realm and compare it to contemporary Western concepts including [the Lacanian Imaginary], the Deleuzian crystal-image, and the quasi-mystical understandings of image in Kracauer, Bazin, and Merleau-Ponty.
The event will be held in English, and is free to public.
*Prof. Dr. Simon Fraser University, Canada
