Film as a Medium of Seduction: Introduction to the Seduction-Theory of Film

The seduction-theory defines film in a broader sense as a medium of seduction, based on the French concept of séduction. It is a theoretical approach influenced by continental philosophy and classical film theory, linked to a three-stage analytical model. The book introduces the theoretical foundations and, using various classical and contemporary examples from film history, presents a genuine method of film analysis.

Prof. Dr. Marcus Stiglegger teaches Film and Image Studies in Muenster and Regensburg.
