Corpo filosofico, corpo filmico e corpo comico

The filmic body represents a challenge to our understanding of ourselves as thinking and free bodies. In cinema, the body has multiple dimensions and is limited differently from physicality. The filmic body has several dimensions (the actor, the image/character, the viewer, the film itself) and in any case its material remains an unsurpassable datum. In particular, the comic body, as happens in Buster Keaton, represents the persistence of the real body in the cinematographic dimension.
