These films foreground the child’s point of view, construct a child’s gaze, and mobilise an aesthetic that evokes a sensory recollection of childhood. This complex arrangement of aesthetic modes is intended to address the adult spectator bodily, and evoke the vivid, sensory memories of childhood. The Sensory Child rethinks a gap in contemporary film theory created by a seeming hiatus between psychoanalytic and phenomenological approaches to the cinema. The book examines key instances of this aesthetic of childhood in the films \u003ci\u003eAftersun\u003c\/i\u003e (2022), \u003ci\u003eThe Fits\u003c\/i\u003e (2015), \u003ci\u003eWhat Maisie Knew\u003c\/i\u003e (2013), and \u003ci\u003eMoonlight\u003c\/i\u003e (2016). May argues that psychoanalytic theory can elucidate the significance of such tactile moments, offering insight into the meaning evoked for the spectator by this sensory, poetic film form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pallas Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55476808188248,"sku":"9789048562336","price":132.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9789048562336.jpg?v=1777985120","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/sensory-child-of-contemporary-cinema","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
