" A long awaited and much-needed collection of texts that altogether propose a profound reconsideration of agency and representation through camerer. – Blandine Joret, University of Amsterdam Ultimately, what comes most profoundly into focus through these text’s—and the meticulous scholarly framing that it is given throughout this manuscript—is the way Deligny developed an utterly original, sometimes estranging but always radically compassionate anthropology of the image, but one that unlike almost all other anthropogenic projects is organized around a fundamental questioning of the normative status of the “human” from the perspective of those humans who have been excluded from full inclusion in that category by virtue of their mental, cognitive, emotional, or psychiatric ‘deviance’ from an (ultimately imposed and artificial) norm. The consequences of such a radically reconfigured anthropology of the image for the aesthetics, poetics, and praxis of cinema is profound, and this book will enable us to finally begin to grapple with its implications.. – Leon Hilton, Brown University "
