  Right This Way - A History of...

  When you sit down at a play, movie, or concert—or even in front of the TV or scrolling on your phone—you are taking part in one of the oldest and most mysterious forms of human behavior. Being part of an audience is an age-old experience that we all crave, one that has evolved from amphitheaters to screens. Right This Way is a pop history of audiences through the ages. Playbill editor Robert Viagas unfolds the unique aspects of what he calls “audiencing” with stories from the age of the Greeks to the world of Zoom. He walks through the different types of audiences and the history of their responses, what science has to say about how our brains respond to what they see and the reactions of the people around them, and why, during COVID-19, people risked a deadly virus to be part of a crowd. Right This Way explores what the audience experience brings us and how it may evolve in the 21st century.

  Thoughtful Cinema - Illustrating...

  Anyone who has seen a film and then followed up with a cup of coffee or glass of wine as they discuss it with friends knows that films can inspire thoughtful conversation and further reflection—sometimes long after their initial screening. Thoughtful Cinema explores how films raise and suggest answers to philosophical questions through an in–depth analysis of how seven films engage with various philosophical traditions, ranging from the nineteenth–century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche to the twentieth and twenty–first century American philosopher Judith Jarvis Thomson.Films can do philosophy, this audiobook argues, as a result of their ability to illustrate philosophical claims and theories. However, the films discussed in this audiobook do much more than that: they also supplement the philosophies they illustrate by expanding their claims and criticizing their assumptions. Films, therefore, can make their own independent contributions to philosophical theory. Thoughtful Cinema tells how films grapple with philosophical ideas such as personal identity, the banality of evil, authenticity, euthanasia, third–party killing, and the power of attention. This audiobook makes an important contribution to the debate about cinematic philosophy that has engaged both philosophers of film and film theorists for decades, and it also proves that philosophy is not just a narrow specialty, accessible only to trained practitioners. Films that do philosophy address the essential concerns of human life, and it's this characteristic—their philosophical attention—that makes them appeal to a wide audience.
