An Analysis of the Aesthetics of Temporal Space in Jia Zhangke's Films in the Perspective of Deleuze's Film- Philosophy

This paper examines Jia Zhangke's aesthetics of time and space based on Deleuze's cinema philosophy as a theoretical foundation. The paper's central thesis is that Jia Zhangke creates an aesthetic of space and time in film through the presentation of temporal images. Through an analysis of Jia Zhangke's The Good Man of Three Gorges, The World, and Xiao Wu, it is argued that Jia not only provides a practical example of Deleuze's philosophical theory of cinema but also portrays a complex and realistic social spectacle in the context and culture of China.
