Round 6: Tossup 16

This theorist inspired Thom Anderson’s film The Thoughts That Once We Had. In 1988, this theorist gave a series of TV interviews discussing “T for Tennis,” “J for Joy,” and other entries in his so-called 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” and “small-form.” 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. S. Peirce-esque (“purse-esque”) analysis of “op-,” “son-,” “hyalo-,” and “chrono-” (*) signs. Subtypes of a concept introduced by this theorist include “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 theorist co-wrote Capitalism and Schizophrenia with Félix Guattari? ■END■
