The notion that Cinema can best be analysed by reducing it to the condition of Language has a history going back to the earliest days of the medium, culminating in Christian Metz’s declaration that Cinema ‘is structured like a language’.³⁷ There was an echo in that statement of Lacan’s assertion that the unconscious is structured like a language.³⁸ From the view taken here, both assertions are quite simply wrong, and reinforce the ideology of Logocentrism that denigrates and demotes Vision.
