«El cine o el hombre imaginario» is Edgar Morin's anthropology essay, published by Paidós Ibérica in paperback (222 pages, in Spanish).
Morin analyses cinema as an anthropological phenomenon: the psychological nature of the image, filmic time, the psychic processes of spectator participation, and the relationship between subjectivity and objectivity. This analysis underpins the creation of a cinematic language and art.
The work was originally published in 1956. This edition is part of the Paidós Comunicación collection (no. 127, Film).
Aimed at students of communication, film and sociology, and readers interested in audiovisual theory.
Edgar Morin was a French philosopher and sociologist of the theory of information who has been recognised for his work on complexity and "complex thought", and for his scholarly contributions to such diverse fields as media studies, politics, sociology, visual anthropology, ecology, education, and systems biology. He held two bachelors degrees, one in history and geography and one in law, and never did a Ph.D.
