It testifies to the author’s deep and rich intellectual engagement with a vast array of objects ranging from the classics of the cinephile canon to television news programs, home movies and mobile phone films.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It is hard to believe that it has taken almost forty years for Roger Odin’s semio-pragmatic approach to finally become accessible in a book for the English-speaking world. Long before the post-cinema debate, Roger Odin started to theorize the many facets of film beyond the theatrical motion picture. Immensely productive particularly with a view to the current transformations of film, Odin’s film theory continues to question and subvert established distinctions: between disciplines and theoretical schools, but also between legitimate and illegitimate objects.\" \u003cbr\u003e– Alexandra Schneider, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"With scientific rigor and academic generosity, Roger Odin discloses the analytical machine that underpins his semio-pragmatic approach. Readers not only enjoy a wide breadth of examples, but also witness the trial-and-error approach that ensured the success of semio-pragmatics. At once a methodological synthesis and a balance of intellectual achievement, this book promotes an integral method for analyzing film as a communicative apparatus.\" \u003cbr\u003e– Francesco Casetti, Yale University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Democracy of Readings and Objects: Roger Odin’s Contribution to the Theory of Film (Vinzenz Hediger) \u003cbr\u003eWhat We Make of Images and Sounds: Semio-Pragmatics as Approach and Method \u003cbr\u003eEstablishing a Discipline, Cultivating a Field: Roger Odin and Film Studies in France \u003cbr\u003eMoving Semiotics Forward: Semio-Pragmatics and Film Theory since the 1960s \u003cbr\u003eBeware of the Crypt: Semio-Pragmatics and the Question of Communication \u003cbr\u003eAfter the Elegy of Cinema: Semio-Pragmatics and the State of Film Studies \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Spaces of Communication: Elements of Semio-Pragmatics (Roger Odin) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Foreword and Acknowledgements \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: The Semio-Pragmatic Model \u003cbr\u003eOn the Difficulty of Getting Away from Immanence \u003cbr\u003eOn the Difficulty of Staying Within Immanence \u003cbr\u003eVacillation \u003cbr\u003eFor an Articulation between the Two Paradigms: Semio-Pragmatics \u003cbr\u003eThe Semio-Pragmatic Model \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
