JBSP review: ‘Visual Art and Self-Construction (2021) by Katrina Mitcheson’ (2023)
by David Deamer
Online ahead of print: 12 April 2023
“Powerful analyses and exquisite readings interweave […] The book is thus perfect for both the general reader as a primer and the seasoned academic working in the fields of modern philosophy and the arts. More importantly, however, this is a deeply personal book from someone immersed in the culture and history of the visual arts as well as deeply occupied by the problems posed by modern philosophy” – David Deamer
Immanence (UVM Blog): ‘Cinema will henceforth be Godardian’
by Adrian J Ivakhiv
27 September 2022
An article by Adrian J Ivakhiv on the cinema of Godard, and Deleuzian film philosophy. With a seemingly bold claim would (on the face of it) appear counterintuitive.
It was nice to be named-checked in this article too, and I loved the way Ivakhiv used my concept of cineosis.
What is cineosis?
Read some more on Godard, Deleuze, and cineosis.

Film-Philosophy review: ‘Barry Nevin (2018) Cracking Gilles Deleuze’s Crystal: Narrative Space-time in the Films of Jean Renoir‘ (2021)
by David Deamer
Volume 25 issue 2, July 2021
“Barry Nevin has written a compelling book that should inspire readers to (re)turn to Renoir […] his analysis of the periscope in Eléna et les hommes is just one of many moments that has changed the way I look at the film in question (p. 166). And if a work of film-philosophy can change the films it has made you watch, it is truly film-philosophy worthy of the name.” – David Deamer

Film-Philosophy review: ‘David Deamer (2016) Deleuze’s Cinema Books: Three Introductions to the Taxonomy of Images‘ (2017)
by Jacques de Villiers
Volume 21 issue 2, June 2017
“Within Anglophone film studies of the last twenty years, perhaps no other philosopher has been the subject of so many monographs, anthologies, and articles as Gilles Deleuze, especially the ideas found in his two books on cinema […] A question inevitably arises, then: do we need another introduction, let alone three?” – Jacques de Villiers
Screen review: ‘David Martin-Jones, Deleuze and World Cinemas; David Deamer, Deleuze, Japanese Cinema and the Atom Bomb: The Spectre of Impossibility‘ (2016)
by Tiago de Luca
Volume 57, Issue 3, Autumn 2016
“Thirty years after the original publication of his Cinema books, Deleuze seems to show no sign of loosening his grip on film studies. Two recent additions […] are evidence of his continued hold on the field” – Tiago de Luca

by Vili Maunula
21 August 2016
“The Spectre of Impossibility is a well written, clear, insightful and always to-the-point examination of the ways in which Japanese cinema has (and has not) dealt with the atomic bombs… [I]t is the first English language book to properly delve into this subject matter, and I congratulate Deamer for both the depth and the breadth with which he approaches this challenging topic…” – Vili Maunula

Choice review ‘Deleuze, Japanese Cinema, and the Atom Bomb: The Spectre of Impossibility’ (2014)
by Robert Ducharme
Volume 52 issue 5, May 2014
In a 30-page introduction… Deamer… lays out Deleuze’s theory of cinema, found in his Cinema I and Cinema II… then uses Deleuze’s tool kit to extract the possibilities of meaning from post–WW II Japanese war films. Possibilities is key: Deamer says Deleuze’s theory is broad enough to allow for a variety of readings, even contradictory ones… Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty.
