Combining a cognitive film theory approach with the theoretical framework proposed by Blending Theory, which claims that human beings' general ability for conceptual integration underlies most of our daily activities, this book argues that flashbacks make sense to the viewer as they are specifically designed for the viewer's cognitive understanding. Through a mixture of analysis and dozens of case studies, this book demonstrates that successful film flashbacks appeal to the spectator's natural perceptual and cognitive abilities, which spectators exercise daily. This book will serve as a valuable resource for scholars interested in film studies, media studies, and cognitive linguistics"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003153573 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
