Abstract
‘Inhuman, all too Inhuman: Lyotard, Nihilism and Film’ is a practice-led piece of research which seeks to develop Jean-François Lyotard’s thinking, namely his notions of the inhuman, acinemas and the libidinal in the realm of film through an audio-visual methodology. In turn, this research wishes to question the viability of film as a site of resistance against what Lyotard terms the inhuman, as well as its positioning in relation to the textual. Significantly, the function of this written component is not to provide a commentary or analysis of my audio-visual research, but rather to complement this and further interrogate its concerns by other means. Moreover, this work also wishes to examine audio-visual approaches for pedagogy, in turn deterritorializing the boundaries of creative and artistic practice, philosophy and academic research.
