| book description |

In Jean-Luc Godard: Philosopher/Insurgent, Jonathan Scott Lee contends that renowned filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard can be most accurately considered as a philosopher who uses cinema and video as his media to develop provocative aesthetic interventions into contemporary political situations and dilemmas. Rather than attempting to write a â€œdefinitiveâ€ study of Godard or establish a new canon from his expansive oeuvre, Lee identifies a particularly salient selection of his work which highlights innovative ways of understanding his lifelong engagement with film and video. Building on Godardâ€™s own claim that â€œcinema is made of forms that think,â€ Lee embarks on a compelling exploration of the ways in which these films are poised to guide viewers into a â€œsubjunctiveâ€ space of interpretation in which philosophical thinking engages fundamental questions about an art of living. Moving through these films chronologically, each of the three essay-chapters considers a different stage of Godardâ€™s thought and career through the lens of another prominent thinkerâ€”in the 1960s, Cynic philosopher Diogenes of Sinope; in the late 1960s and early 1970s, psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan; and in the final decades, historian and philosopher of art AndrÃ© Malraux. By offering a distinct trajectory through Godard's work between 1960 and 2018, Lee demonstrates how his various modes of cinematic and video intervention might be seen to effect real change in audiencesâ€™ thinking and in the world more broadly.
