Abstract

Cinema Of Attractions: Cartography, Critique, IndexIn this article I would like to present some reflections on the role played by the “cinema of attractions” in the history of film studies. First part of my essay includes the preliminary description of this idea: its definition, polemical context and change that “cinema of attractions“ brought to the dominant mode of historiographical investigation in the light of so called “Brighton project” and “historical turn”. The aim of the second part is to outline the possible critical comments on “cinema of attraction” mostly rooted in David Bordwell’s and Charles Musser’s writings. In the third part I would like to sketch how those objections can be tempered if we enrich our understanding of “cinema of attraction” with knowledge about the historical – material and intellectual – milieu in which this notion emerged. In this context I propose to see historiographical method conducted by the proponents of “cinema of attraction” (i.e. Tom Gunning, André Gaudreault) in the light of specific version of cinephilia that came to light in New York in the 1970s.
