The article titled “Form and Content Fusion in Terrence Malick's Cinema as a Perception-Based Experiential Space: The Case of Knight of Cups” by Asst. Prof. Emre Doğan, Chair of the Department of Radio, Television, and Cinema at Istanbul Gelişim University (İGÜ), Faculty of Fine Arts (FFA), has been published in the 16th issue of Tykhe Art and Design Journal.
In his article, Asst. Prof. Emre Doğan expands on the abstract of his paper presented at the 5th International Cinema and Philosophy Symposium of Sinefilozofi Journal on December 11, 2022, focusing on the renowned American filmmaker Terrence Malick. Doğan argues that Malick, an important creative force in American cinema, produces films that are perceived, experienced, and even intuited, diverging significantly from classical narrative cinema conventions. Viewing Malick's filmography as closely aligned with experimental genres, Doğan suggests that Malick's films create a kind of experiential space. The aim of Doğan's study is to investigate the proposition that Terrence Malick creates an experiential space in his films, examining this through the relationship between perception-image and perception-imagination, which are sub-concepts of Gilles Deleuze's cinema taxonomy. Specifically, the study aims to define how the fusion of form and content manifests in creating the experiential space, illustrated through Malick's 2015 film 'Knight of Cups' chosen as an example. The study explores the extent of experimental elements in Terrence Malick's films, how perceptuality and perception-image based elements, as articulated by Deleuze, are employed in creating the experiential space, and how the fusion of form and content relates to this experiential space.
We congratulate Asst. Prof. Emre Doğan and wish him continued success.
