New Work in Understanding the Kuleshov Effect

Does the Kuleshov Effect even exist? If so, how can it be explained? This conference calls for interdisciplinary approaches mixing film theory, theory of mind and other kindred approaches (e.g. social cognition, a focus on narrative competence or on cognition by emotions).

The conference will take place 11-12 May 2023. It will have a mixed format, in that speakers may choose whether they present online only or face to face at the event's location (if so, their session will enjoy a live audience, but it will also be streamed to remote participants).

Please see the associated call for abstracts. We expect to be able to announce the conference programme around April 30, 2023

For any questions, please don't hesitate to email [email protected] You may register at the same address (or by RSVP here on PhilEvents) on or before May 8th in order to receive the Zoom connection details.

The conference is organized with the support of graduate students in the “Mind the Brain” master’s programme in cognitive science within the Department for Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Bucharest. More details about the programme are available here: https://filosofie.unibuc.ro/master-of-arts-in-cognitive-science-mind-the-brain/
