Bergson, the Image and Time

This chapter presents an outline of the ideas of Henri Bergson, as a prelude to the later exploration of Georg Lukács in chapters 2-5 of this book. Bergson’s ideas on the image, the body and time, and film are considered, including his notion of ‘cinematographic time’ and ‘duration’. The chapter also includes a general account of the nature of temporality and discusses the influence of Einstein’s theory of relativity on notions of time.
