As if thought could be induced medicinally, like sleep, vomit, contractions. What of all the other ways thought might appear: as seduction, submission, dedition, delay, interruption, interference, a prankish delight? In So What Garcia Düttmann reworks the very question of how thought might appear in relation to art. Its terrain is the crossroads of films and words but its stakes include participation in politics, the aspectual, aesthetic seriousness, repetition, form, imagination, perversion, exaggeration, friendship, idea and experience, and a thousand other problems that--and this is the point--appear spontaneously, impulsively, unpredictably. This book will make permanent demands on any who would claim to work in film and philosophy."" --Eugenie Brinkema, author of Life-Destroying Diagrams ""García Düttmann poses questions that others would regard as too simple to ask. His style of thinking and of writing make this book unlike anything else in film studies or philosophy . . . unique and compelling."" --John David Rhodes, author of Spectacle of Property: The House in American Film" 'Thought-provoking' is such an overused, underread phrase.
