内容简介：
Unbecoming Cinema explores the notion of cinema
as a living, active agent, capable of unsettling and
reconfiguring a person’s thoughts, senses and
ethics. Film, according to David H. Fleming, is a
dynamic force, arming audiences with the ability
to see and make a difference in the world. Drawing
heavily on Deleuze’s philosophical insights, as well
as those of Guattari and Badiou, the book critically
examines unsettling and taboo footage from
suicide documentaries to art therapy films, from
portrayals of mental health and autism to torture
porn. In investigating the effect of film on the
mind and body, Fleming’s shrewd analysis unites
transgressive cinema with metaphysical concepts of
the body and mind.
