Clive Myer's Diegesis

Intended as an address to film schools as appose to film studies, Clive presents the case and altering state of the diegesis. Presenting how, in a La'tourean sense, the meaning and application of diegesis has changed from its philosophical origins in  Plato to a convention of cinema, noting how its absorption into cinematic technicality radically diminishes its properties as an intangible thing. 
Lobbying for modification of terms, of revisions in pedigogical practice, this is a thought provoking talk of historicy and cultural determination of meaning.
