title: Cinema, Truth, and Time: The Falsifier: Lecture 11, 07 February 1984

description: &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Deleuze Seminars&lt;/em&gt; is a collection of audio recordings, transcriptions, and English translations of, and supplemental materials from, the lectures French philosopher Gilles Deleuze gave during his career at the University of Paris 8.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Cinema, Truth, and Time: The Falsifier&rdquo; was a 22-lecture seminar given from November 1983 to June 1984. This seminar, the third of four consecutive seminars Deleuze gave on cinema, shifts focus from the movement-image to the time-image. In these lectures, Deleuze continues to elaborate his theory of cinema through various theoretical and aesthetic frames including: Ancient Greek philosophy; Nietzsche&rsquo;s reconsideration of the concept of truth; principles of formal logic; literature; the time-image as crystallization; and the filmmakers he thinks are particularly influential in creating the time-image. As a precursor to the publication of Deleuze&rsquo;s second of two volumes on cinema, &lt;em&gt;Cinema 2: The Time-Image&lt;/em&gt; (1985), this seminar is a valuable resource to researchers interested in Deleuze&rsquo;s film theory, as well as his larger philosophical oeuvre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In session 11, 7 February 1984, still considering aberrations in movement, Deleuze reintroduces the &ldquo;scream&rdquo; that &ldquo;everything is ordinary,&rdquo; and considers how, along this axis of the daily, philosophy stands in contrast to and rises above the daily, juxtaposed through reflection on the eternal, thereby linking it to production of the new. With references from Heidegger&rsquo;s &lt;em&gt;Being and Time&lt;/em&gt; and Bergson, Deleuze develops a philosophical montage as a means of obtaining time from movement, and then devotes the session to reviewing the Greeks on different facets of movement vis-&agrave;-vis time. Finally, Deleuze summarizes theories developed by &Eacute;ric Alliez linking the Marxist system of circulation to Aristotle, and then with Alliez contributing, he and Deleuze close the session, first with Alliez commenting on Deleuze&rsquo;s presentation, then in a dialogue, with Deleuze proposing that Alliez continue his intervention at the next session following break.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Les S&eacute;minaires de Deleuze&lt;/em&gt; sont une collection d&#39;enregistrements audio, de transcriptions et de traductions en anglais et de documents compl&eacute;mentaires des conf&eacute;rences que le philosophe fran&ccedil;ais Gilles Deleuze a donn&eacute; lors de sa carri&egrave;re &agrave; l&#39;Universit&eacute; de Paris 8.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&laquo;Cin&eacute;ma, v&eacute;rit&eacute; et temps: le faussaire&raquo; &eacute;tait un s&eacute;minaire de 22 conf&eacute;rences donn&eacute; de novembre 1983 &agrave; juin 1984. En tant que pr&eacute;curseur de la publication du deuxi&egrave;me de deux volumes de Deleuze sur le cin&eacute;ma, &lt;em&gt;Cin&eacute;ma II. L&#39;Image-temps&lt;/em&gt; (1985), ce s&eacute;minaire est une ressource pr&eacute;cieuse pour les chercheurs int&eacute;ress&eacute;s par la th&eacute;orie du film de Deleuze, ainsi que sa plus grande &oelig;uvre philosophique.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lors de la s&eacute;ance 11, le 7 f&eacute;vrier 1984, toujours en consid&eacute;rant les aberrations du mouvement, Deleuze r&eacute;introduit le &laquo; cri &raquo; selon lequel &laquo; tout est ordinaire &raquo; et consid&egrave;re comment, le long de cet axe du quotidien, la philosophie s&rsquo;oppose et s&rsquo;&eacute;l&egrave;ve au-dessus du quotidien, juxtapos&eacute;e par la r&eacute;flexion sur l&rsquo;&eacute;ternel, la liant ainsi &agrave; la production du nouveau. En se r&eacute;f&eacute;rant &agrave; &lt;em&gt;&Ecirc;tre et Temps&lt;/em&gt; de Heidegger et &agrave; Bergson, Deleuze d&eacute;veloppe un montage philosophique comme moyen d&rsquo;obtenir du temps &agrave; partir du mouvement, puis consacre la s&eacute;ance &agrave; une revue des Grecs sur diff&eacute;rentes facettes du mouvement par rapport au temps. Enfin, Deleuze r&eacute;sume les th&eacute;ories d&eacute;velopp&eacute;es par &Eacute;ric Alliez reliant le syst&egrave;me de circulation marxiste &agrave; Aristote, puis avec la contribution d&rsquo;Alliez, lui et Deleuze ferment la s&eacute;ance, d&rsquo;abord avec Alliez commentant la pr&eacute;sentation de Deleuze, puis en dialogue, Deleuze proposant qu&rsquo;Alliez continue son intervention &agrave; la s&eacute;ance suivante apr&egrave;s la pause.&lt;/p&gt;
