Romanticism and Film: Franz Liszt and Audio-Visual Explanation by Will Kitchen (

Description: Romanticism and Film by Will Kitchen Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "Explores the relationship between film and the concept of Romanticism, analyzing the cultural image of the Hungarian pianist and composer Franz Liszt (1811-86), including the ways that he and his music has been represented in films"-- Publisher Description The relationship between Romanticism and film remains one of the most neglected topics in film theory and history, with analysis often focusing on the proto-cinematic significance of Richard Wagners music-dramas. One new and interesting way of examining this relationship is by looking beyond Wagner, and developing a concept of audio-visual explanation rooted in Romantic philosophical aesthetics, and employing it in the analysis of film discourse and representation.Using this concept of audio-visual explanation, the cultural image of the Hungarian pianist and composer Franz Liszt, a contemporary of Wagner and another significant practitioner of Romantic audio-visual aesthetics, is examined in reference to specific case studies, including the rarely-explored films Song Without End (1960) and Lisztomania (1975).This multifaceted study of film discourse and representation employs Liszt as a guiding-thread, structuring a general exploration of the concept of Romanticism and its relationship with film more generally. This exploration is supported by new theories of representation based on schematic cognition, the philosophy of explanation, and the recently-developed film theory of Jacques Rancière.Individual chapters address the historical background of audio-visual explanation in Romantic philosophical aesthetics, Liszts role in the historical discourses of film and film music, and various filmic representations of Liszt and his compositions. Throughout these investigations, Will Kitchen explores the various ways that films explain, or make sense of things, through a Romantic aesthetic combination of sound and vision.
