The Phenomenological Turn in Film Studies

Film phenomenology has branched out from the groundbreaking work of
Merleau-Ponty, Sobchack, Marks and Barker into new and exciting areas of
embodiment and experience. In this the first of a series of study days at
QMUL considering contemporary turns in film scholarship, we will hear from
scholars pushing at the forefront of film phenomenological boundaries:
Sarah Cooper (King's), Katharina Lindner (Stirling), Jenny Chamarette
(QMUL) and Anat Pick (QMUL). Bringing these scholars together to consider
film phenomenology from queer, feminist, embodied and non-human
perspectives, as well as filmic encounters with athletic, differently
abled, ailing, healing and breathing bodies, this day offers an
unprecedented and unique opportunity to investigate and assess 'the
phenomenological turn'.
