Abstract

If a machine is something that cuts into a continuous flow, schizoanalysis can be read, quite literally, as an analysis of cuts. In cinematic registers, it is an analysis of montage. Looking closely at a number of modes and moments of montage in the work of Alfred Hitchcock, this paper shows how his strategies of '‘reciprocally presupposing'’ actual image and virtual montage relate to a Deleuzian poetics and politics of the cinema.
