Question

One essay compares this discipline to dynamite shattering “our taverns and our metropolitan streets.” That essay compares the relationship between ordinary people and this discipline to the enthusiasm of newspaper delivery boys for bicycle races. An essay that uses an earlier comparison of this discipline to hieroglyphs argues that it, like architecture and epic poetry, allows one “to present an object for (*) simultaneous collective experience” and cites theories by Abel Gance. The male gaze (10[1])was first popularized (10[2])in a Laura Mulvey (10[1])essay on “Visual Pleasure” in the narrative type of this discipline. This discipline is called the “height of artifice” in an essay analyzing it and photography as art “in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.” For 10 points, name this discipline whose auteurs were described by François Truffaut ■END■
