In this multidisciplinary approach Pasi Väliaho draws from
science and philosophy to offer a compelling study of how the
medium of film has shaped our understanding of ourselves and
the world around us. Väliaho examines key films from the early
twentieth century, tracing the role that various arrangements
of movement have played in the development of corporeality,
perception, and modes of thought in cinematic modernity.
