Kryzys reprezentacji, Ziemia-krajobraz i posthumanistyczny panteizm w „La Région centrale” Michaela Snowa
The Crisis of Representation, Earth-Landscape and Post-humanist Pantheism in Michael Snow's „La Région centrale”

Summary/Abstract: The main subject of the essay is Michael Snow’s "La Région" centrale. Referencing various writings on the film, the author highlights areas that have not been tackled by scholars: the sensuous character of the film experience and its consequences for cinema’s status as a sphere of the cognition of reality. "La Région centrale" is juxtaposed with Gilles Deleuze’s concepts of painterly catastrophe and diagram in order to show how the experience of landscape becomes a post-humanist project of creating the whole new world, where existent dualisms of body-mind, subject-object or human-animal are completely overthrown. This interpretation is accompanied by a reflection on the cinema’s role during the age of Anthropocene and a re-affirmation of realism in film theory.
