| Long abstract | In Chapter One of the book, you find an elaboration on the theoretical framework around emotions, feelings and film, and how we can study this from a historical perspective. To do this, I position the book within the traditions of affect theories, new film history, the history of emotions, and Braudel’s ideas on temporalities in cultural history and put them in a historical perspective. The aim is to clarify the underlying theoretical constructs and the origins and uses of the main theoretical concepts this book is built on. Following this theoretical framework, the book has three parts that each cover one of the various ways in which colour is connected to embodied experiences and feelings in colour theory, perception theory, and popular discourse. |
