Abstract

This article analyses Return to Forms with regard to Levi R. Bryant’s flat ontology, which eliminates any degree of hierarchy between things. Foregrounding the entanglements of different textures, Zachary Epcar’s haptic and sonic experiment echoes Bryant’s object-oriented philosophy and calls for a radical ecological sensibility through assembling the manifold fabrics of everyday life with an unusual tone. In this new materialist outlook, human and non-human, actual and virtual, body and matter coincide.

生态学的肌理：埃普卡《形式的回归》中事物的扁平本体论

本文从李维·R·布赖恩特的扁平本体论的角度分析了形式的回归，该本体论消除了事物之间的任何层次。Zachary Epcar的触觉和声音实验以不同纹理的纠缠为基础，呼应了Bryant的面向对象哲学，并呼吁通过以不同寻常的色调组装日常生活的多种织物来实现激进的生态敏感性。在这种新的唯物主义观点中，人与非人、实与虚、体与物是一致的。

期刊介绍： The main purposes of SFS are: To stimulate ongoing research on individual short films as a basis for a better understanding of the art form To provide a flow of cutting-edge teaching materials that can be used in courses in which short films are either studied or produced, at film schools or universities To offer fresh inspiration to filmmakers and other professionals working with short films in connection with festivals, national film institutes, regional film centres, etc. While the principal focus is on the short fiction film, other classic forms – such as the short documentary, the short experimental film and the short animation film – are also covered from time to time. In each issue, two productions are singled out for comprehensive presentation and close study. For each film, the reader will find production data, an interview with the director, a shot-by-shot breakdown of the film with a still illustrating every shot, a number of peer-reviewed articles that illuminate the film from a variety of perspectives and a link enabling subscribers to view the film.
