In Cinema, democracy and perfectionism Joshua Foa Dienstag engages in a critical encounter with the work of Stanley Cavell on cinema, focusing skeptical attention on the claims made for the contribution of cinema to the ethical character of democratic life. Invoking and reworking the celebrated dialogue between Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Jean DAlembert on theatre, Dienstags provocative and stylish essay is both a critical homage to Cavells work and a strikingly original argument concerning the medium of film and its relationship to its audience.The essay builds on Dienstags well known work on narrative and political theory. It is followed by critical responses from an exceptional group of interlocutors. The volume concludes with a robust response from Dienstag to his critics.
