In 1988, this theorist gave a series of TV interviews discussing “T for Tennis,” “J for Joy,” and other entries in his so-called (15[1])alphabet book. In a book that repeatedly compares cinema to “flowing matter,” this theorist drew on the writings of Noël Burch by using acronyms like SAS and ASA to describe “large-form” (15[1])and “small-form.” (15[1])Drawing on the work of Marc Augé (“oh-ZHAY”), this theorist put forth the idea of the “any space whatsoever” in a work concluding with a C.

Subtypes (10[1])of a concept introduced by this theorist include (10[1])“perception,” “affection,” “action,” and “mental.” This theorist published a Bergsonian analysis of (10[1])cinema whose two volumes are subtitled the “Movement-Image” and “Time-Image.” For 10 (10[1])points, what film (10[1])theorist co-wrote Capitalism and Schizophrenia (10[1])with Félix Guattari? ■END■ (10[6])
