Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Childhood is a universal theme in cinema, shaping perceptions and allowing children to express themselves uniquely. Films convey childhood experiences and perspectives, reflecting the memories of both filmmakers and viewers. This book explores the intricate relationship between cinema and childhood, focusing on aesthetics, mediality, and cultural history. It addresses three main topics: child figures in film, the spectator's experience of childhood, and the role of childhood in film production. The section on child figures examines how films construct images of children and how young actors embody these roles. The exploration of childhood as a spectator's experience delves into how films represent children's perceptions and experiences, including theories about the child's gaze. Additionally, the book investigates how filmmakers draw on their childhood experiences, whether as biographical memories or playful aesthetic strategies. Contributions span various interdisciplinary perspectives, including film theory, psychoanalysis, health science, and film production, covering a diverse array of films from the inception of cinema to contemporary works—encompassing experimental, documentary, and fictional genres. Notable contributors include Alejandro Bachmann, Alain Bergala, Christian Bonah, and others.
