摘要:The main question of this paper – how the forking of the time into three streams - the presence of the past, the presence of presence and the presence of the future which is possible to be reflected in the classical philosophy (Augustine, Leibnic, Bergson), in phenomenology (Husserl, MerleauPonty), in literature (Borges, Proust), is structuring itself in the cinema and in the philosophy of modern cinema. The article investigates some trajectories of this bifurcation: Tarkovsky‘s imprinted time, apocalyptic time and its turn into the crystals of time in the philosophy of cinema of Gilles Deleuze. Keywords: forking of time, imprinted time, crystals of time. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15823/zz.2014.028
