(Ebook) Adapting philosophy: Jean Baudrillard and "the matrix trilogy." by Catherine Constable ISBN 9781847792822, 1847792820

Adapting Philosophy looks at the ways in which The Matrix Trilogy
adapts Jean Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation, and in doing so
creates its own distinctive philosophical position. Where previous work
in the field has presented the trilogy as a simple ‘beginner’s guide’ to
philosophy, this study offers a new methodology for inter-relating
philosophy and film texts, focusing on the conceptual role played by
imagery in both types of text. This focus on the figurative enables a
new-found appreciation of the liveliness of philosophical writing and
the multiple philosophical dimensions of Hollywood films. The book opens
with a critical overview of existing philosophical writing on The
Matrix Trilogy and goes on to draw on adaptation theory and feminist
philosophy in order to create a new methodology for interlinking
philosophical and filmic texts. Three chapters are devoted to detailed
textual analyses of the films, tracing the ways in which the imagery
that dominates Baudrillard’s writing is adapted and transformed by the
trilogy’s complex visuals and soundtrack. The conclusion situates the
methodology developed throughout the book in relation to other
approaches currently emerging in the new field of Film-Philosophy. The
book’s multi-disciplinary approach encompasses Philosophy, Film Studies
and Adaptation Theory and will be of interest to undergraduates and
postgraduates studying these subjects. It also forms part of the
developing interdisciplinary field of Film-Philosophy. The detailed
textual analyses of The Matrix Trilogy will also be of interest to
anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of the multi-faceted nature
of this seminal work.
