Reality and Metaphor In Jane Howell's and Julie Taymor's Productions of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus2004 •
This article sets up a neurophenomenological approach to understanding cinema spectatorship in order to investigate how embodied engagement with technologies of sound and motion can foster a sense of experiential realism. It takes as a starting point the idea that the empirical study of emotive, perceptual, motor, and cognitive processes involved in film spectatorship is impoverished without a phenomenological account of the lived experience under investigation. Correspondingly, engaging with neuroscientific studies enriches the scope of phenomenological inquiry and offers new insights into the film experience. Analysis of diverse films including Interstellar, Leviathan, San Andreas and The Thin Red Line reveals how technological innovations dating from Hale’s Tours (pre-1910) to contemporary D-BOX and Dolby Atmos systems have enhanced the audience’s sense of immersion and corporeal investment in the film experience. Building on the research of Vivian Sobchack and Vittorio Gallese, I argue that aesthetic techniques including the use of low frequency sound effects and wearable cameras facilitate shared affective engagement and a form of embodied simulation associated with kinaesthetic empathy and augmented narrative involvement.
acques Deray’s 1969 film La Piscine offers two contrasting versions of la Parisienne: the sophisticate and the ingénue. Costume, hair, and make-up, play a significant role in the construction of these two Parisienne identities, and reflect the respective star personae of Romy Schneider and Jane Birkin. This article explores the relationship between la Parisienne, fashion and stardom in Deray’s film.

Masquerading Femininity: Of Horror, Madness and Revenge in the Film, 'Ek Hasina Thi'.2019 •
This paper, taken from my thesis, examines the question of horror and abjection through Julia Kristeva and Judith Butler's theorisation of teh same. It reads horror and abjection as tropes that construct femininity in Bollywood cinema opening up layers of masquerade and resistance in their deployment. The paper is a close reading, a feminist and philosophical enquiry of the film Ek Hasina Thi, and brings to bear upon the reading my analysis of masquerade as tool and trope of engagement in Bollywood cinema via the question of feminine subjectivity, horror, madness and abjection.
Interdisciplinary scholarship on neoliberal urban governmentality has been attentive to the knowledges and techniques of government currently emerging at the interface of local state politics and invested claims of voluntary private actors such as corporate partners and philanthropic agencies. This article draws attention to the workings of the aesthetic as an epistemological grounding for the rationalization of urban rule. Specifically, I explore a Toronto, Canada-based philanthropic agency's reliance on a mise-en-scene of urban terror to animate its own self-validated knowledges about targeted inner-suburban subjects and spaces. In their circulation and demand for public address, the agency's graphic public service announcements, launched in 2007, herald what I argue is a moralized set of knowledges about municipal renewal that has its own normative orientations grounded in a neoliberal political rationality, and tangentially, in racialized security imperatives. I detail various dimensions of the social life of a video associated with this public service campaign targeting 'youth at risk', considering the ethical, political and economic valences it was expected to convey; its semiotic exchange with other images and representations of disenfranchised spaces, subjects and communities; and the publics it attempted to interpellate. Importantly, given the agency's current standing as a prominent player in Canadian urban policy arenas, I pay analytical attention to the visual campaign as a site for the production of knowledges about proper urban citizenship and social governance, and as such, a strategic-orienting device for urban policy interventions and directives.

In this chapter, I theorize ways in which the discovery of mirror neurons might enrich our understanding of screen acting. It is not that cognitive neuroscience shall be made to wade into the study of acting and declare it redundant or bankrupt. In various respects, mirror neurons only reinforce what certain theorists and practitioners of acting have long since believed: namely, that 'realism' in acting is achieved through minimising the amount of visible acting that is going on. But, in the name of interdisciplinarity, mirror neurons and other cerebral processes discovered by cognitive scientists certainly do have input to give into the study of acting and performance, not least in helping us to understand how acting works.
