From the first elevators and escalators (tracking shots \u003ci\u003eavant la lettre\u003c\/i\u003e) to cinema (the great conductor of gazes), all the way down to contemporary eye-tracking techniques that monitor the slightest saccades of our eyes, Peter Szendy offers an entirely novel theory of the intersection of the image and economics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Supermarket of the Visible\u003c\/i\u003e elaborates an economy proper to images, icons, in other words, an \u003ci\u003eiconomy\u003c\/i\u003e. Deleuze caught a glimpse of this when he wrote that \"money is the back side of all the images that cinema shows and edits on the front.\" Since \"cinema,\" for Deleuze, is synonymous with \"universe,\" Szendy argues that this sentence must be understood in its broadest dimension and that a reading of key works in the history of cinema allows us a unique vantage point upon the reverse of images, their monetary implications. Paying close attention to sequences in Hitchcock, Bresson, Antonioni, De Palma, and \u003ci\u003eThe Sopranos\u003c\/i\u003e, Szendy shows how cinema is not a uniquely commercial art form among other, purer arts, but, more fundamentally, helps to elaborate what might be called, with Bataille, a general iconomy.\u003cbr\u003e Moving deftly and lightly between political economy, aesthetic theory, and popular movies and television, \u003ci\u003eThe Supermarket of the Visible\u003c\/i\u003e will be a necessary book for anyone concerned with media, philosophy, politics, or visual culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSydney Lectures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1. \u003c\/b\u003eMoney, or The Other Side of Images \u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2. \u003c\/b\u003eThe Point of (No) Exchange, or The Debt- Image \u003cb\u003e27\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3.\u003c\/b\u003e Innervation, or The Gaze of Capital \u003cb\u003e43\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAdditional Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMerchandise\u003c\/b\u003e: Godzilla's Eye \u003cb\u003e79\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDeleted Scenes\u003c\/b\u003e: Doors and Slide Changers in Pickpocket and Obsession \u003cb\u003e84\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDeleted Scenes\u003c\/b\u003e: Three Variations on Time and Money (Antonioni, De Palma, Bresson) \u003cb\u003e88\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePhoto Gallery\u003c\/b\u003e: Blow- Up, or Why There Are No Images \u003cb\u003e92\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eLocations\u003c\/b\u003e: 23, rue Bénard, Paris, 75014 \u003cb\u003e99\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDeleted Scene\u003c\/b\u003e: The Fluctuations of the Unchained Camera (L'Herbier) \u003cb\u003e101\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDeleted Scenes\u003c\/b\u003e: The General Fetishism of the Marxes \u003cb\u003e103\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDeleted Scenes\u003c\/b\u003e: The Amortization of the Gaze (King Kong) \u003cb\u003e106\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFormats\u003c\/b\u003e: Surplus Definition (Redacted) \u003cb\u003e112\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCredits 121\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNotes 123\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIndex 155\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580331979032,"sku":"9780823283583","price":88.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-supermarket-of-the-visible-toward-a-general-economy-of-images-hardback-9780823283583","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
