In An Cailín Ciúin, a family drama set in the 1980s, Irish exists in perpetual relationship with English. Niall Kennedy examines whether the film can be considered a work of minor cinema according to Deleuze and Guattari, and what implications it has for the linguistic politics of Ireland today.

Olena Verbivska compares two ways of interpreting films—one that uses film as a means to illustrate theoretical concepts, and another that analyzes films as unique forms of expression—so as to consider (via Deleuze and Metz) a third one, which focuses on the structures of film language.

How does cinema relate to death and memory? Susana Viegas examines the concept of the “death-image” and the emergence of a new type of characters who have passed through a death and are reborn from it. Drawing on Deleuze’s analysis of Alain Resnais, she explores how films can create depersonalized dream-images that transcend the limits of perception and time.
