Introduction: The theoretical context of this study -- Identifying the meaning : in search of the concepts of Kubrick's films -- Embodying the meaning : the role of image schemas, metaphors, and metonymies -- Setting the conditions of embodied meaning-making in film : the role of film style and acting -- Fleshing out the embodied meaning visually : the art of Kubrick -- Seeing and listening to Kubrick's films : the embodied film viewer.

Summary: "How do the films of Kubrick communicate mental events of characters in a purely visual manner? And how does the music in his films express meaning when music in essence is an abstract and non-representational art form? Drawing on state-of-the-art discoveries within embodied cognitive science, this book sets out to address these and other questions by revealing Kubrick as a genuine artist of embodied meaning-making, a filmmaker who perhaps more than any other, uses all the resources of filmmaking in such a controlled and dense manner as to elicit the embodied tools necessary to achieve a level of conceptual clarity"-- Provided by publisher.
