<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This issue of <i>Transformations</i> seeks to explore idealism as a positive influence on and ongoing relevance to contemporary developments in film theory and analysis (broadly understood). With a particular interest in the extent to which
 Idealist philosophy continues to inform contemporary theories of lived experience, cognition, imagination, morality and politics, the issue will explore the way this seminal philosophical movement has helped shape our understanding of spectatorial subjectivity,
 cinema as revolutionary tool, and film as a technology or ‘technique’. The issue will suggest that despite the attempts of film theorists to denounce, suppress or
<i>negate </i>the formative role of idealism in twentieth century thought, many of its key insights into the relationship between human subjectivity, mediation and the non-human world remain relevant to our present moment and the place of screen media in it.
