Cogito ergo video. Introduction to Godard's "Histoire(s) du cinéma"

Summary/Abstract: Hirszfeld presents a new hypothesis regarding the role of self-reflection in Godards somewhat forgotten, especially in Poland, "Histoire(s) du cinéma". Self-reflection here appears to be a form of repetition, and the key to the understanding the history of cinema (and to understanding the history tout court). The relationship between film and the very process of its creation and development through the years creates a new historiosophy of sorts. "Histoire(s)…" is an attempt at uncovering history as a certain possibility. In the case of Godard, the new gaze at history revolves around the world and role of possibilities and modalities in understanding history as a whole. One might argue that Godard’s "Histoire(s) du cinema" present the history of the cinema as the history of degeneration and fall. The attempt at facing up to the past is above all to enable the existence of that which is to come.
