| Long abstract | A Coda called Hallucinating Colours takes the reader one step further into the spectator’s interior—that is, inside the brain—by discussing the phenomenon of purely subjective colours, their contextual background and their representation in films. In this closing chapter, that has its foundations in my article, ‘Hallucinating Colours. Psychedelic Film, Technology, Aesthetics and Affect’ (2019), I openly follow the Braudel-induced categorisation of historical time that is present throughout the entire book in less explicit ways. This shows once more the efficacy of the methodology, based on cultural history and the history of emotions, and rounds up the study of how colours and feeling interrelated in films of the 1950s and 1960s. |
