Adapting philosophy : Jean Baudrillard and the Matrix trilogy

Constable's AHRC-funded monograph offers the first meta-critical analysis of the extensive body of philosophical writing on The Matrix Trilogy in order to reconsider the relation between philosophy and film. She generates a complex thesis in the form of an innovative, new methodology for inter-relating philosophy and film, drawing on feminist philosophy and adaptation theory in order to focus on the conceptual role played by imagery and figuration in both types of text. The new methodology is utilised to provide an original reading of the ways the trilogy's complex visuals and soundtrack adapt Jean Baudrillard's work, creating its own philosophical position.
