Davies & Ellis on Brakhage & Sartre

تفصیل

In this episode, Byron Davies, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship with the Aresmur research group in aesthetics and art theory at the University of Murcia in Spain, and Addison Ellis, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the American University in Cairo, discuss their article "Stan Brakhage, Jean-Paul Sartre and Existentialism: Cinema De Trop," which will be published in the journal Film-Philosophy. Davies and Ellis begin by explaining who Stan Brakhage was and describing his films and writings. They discuss how Brakhage was commissioned to make a film version of Jean-Paul Sartre's Nausea, his approach to Sartre's philosophical positions, and why he might have found a particular passage from Nausea especially compelling. They then discuss how studying Brakhage and Sartre in relation to each other can illuminate the work of both thinkers. This episode was hosted by Brian L. Frye, Spears-Gilbert Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law. Frye is on Twitter at @brianlfrye and on Bluesky at @brianlfrye.bsky.social. Hosted on Acast.
