Beyond the movement-image:
Break with sensory-motor link
No more distinction real / fiction > virtual / actual form crystals
Autonomy of image and sound
Cinema 2: The Time-Image
Direct Time
Montage > Montrage
(What does the image show; what does it relate to if not to a
perception / affection / action: to memory, time + thought)
Actualization of past Iimaginary:
Memory / Dream Sign Comment
Recollection-image Mnemosign Flashback
Dream-image Onirosign Metamorphosis of the real

Appendix B
Glossary to Cinema i and Cinema 2
From Cinema 1: The Movement-Image (London: Athlone Press, 1986) pp.
217-18; and Cinema 2: The Time-Image (London: Athlone Press, 1989)
P. 335-
Movement-Image
The acentered set {ensemble) of variable elements that act on and react to
each other.
Image Center
The gap between a received movement and an executed movement; an ac
tion and a reaction {interval).
Perception-Image (the Thing)
A set {ensemble) of elements that act on a center and that vary in relation
to it.Dicisign: A term created by Peirce to designate principally the sign of
the proposition in general. It is used here in relation to the special
case of "free indirect proposition" (Pasolini). It is a perception in
the frame of another perception. This is the status of solid, geo
metric, and physical perception.
Reume: Not to be confused with Peirce's rheme ("word"). It is the

230 Glossary to Cinema 1 and Cinema 2
perception of that which crosses the frame or flows out, the liquid
status of perception itself.
Gramme (engramme or photogramme): Not to be confused with a
photo, it is the genetic element of the perception-image, insepara
ble as such from certain dynamisms (immobilization, vibration,
flickering, sweep, repetition, acceleration, deceleration, etc.), the
gaseous state ofa molecular perception.
Affection-Image (Quality or Power)
That which occupies the gap between an action and a reaction, that whichabsorbs an external action and reacts on the inside.
Icon: Used by Peirce to designate a sign that refers to its object by in
ternal characteristics (resemblance). Used here to designate the af
fect as expressedby a face or a facial equivalent.
Qualisign (orpotisign): A term used by Peirce to designate a quality
which is a sign. Used here to designate the affect as expressed (or
exposed) in an any-space-whatever. An any-space-whatever issometimes an emptied space, sometimes a space the linking up of
whose parts is not immutable or fixed.
Dividual: That which is neither indivisible nor divisible but is di
vided (or brought together) by changing qualitatively. This is the
state of the entity, that is to say, of that expressed in an expression.
Impulse-Image (Energy)Symptom: Designates the qualities or powers related to an originary
world(defined by impulses).
Fetish: Fragment torn away by the impulse from a real milieu, and
corresponding to the originary world.
Action-Image (the Force or Act)
A reaction to the center to the set {ensemble)
Synsign (or encompasser): Corresponds to Peirces "sinsign." A set of
qualities and powers as actualized in a state of things, thus consti
tuting a real milieu around a center, a situation in relation to a
subject: spiral. Belongs to the large form of the action image where
we go from the situation to the transformed situation via the in-
termediatry of the action (SAS').

Impression: Internal link between situation and action.
Index: Used by Peirce to designate a sign that refers to its object by a
material link. Used here to designate the link of an action (or of
an effect of action) to a situation that is not given, but merely in
ferred or that remains equivocal and reversible. There are indices
of lackand indices ofequivocity: the two senses of the French word
ellipse (ellipse and ellipsis). Belongs to the small form of the ac
tion-image where the action that discloses the situation triggers of
a new action (ASA').
Vector(or line of the universe): A broken line that brings together sin
gular points or remarkable moments at the peak of their intensity.
Vectorial space is distinguished from encompassing space.
Transformation-Image (Reflection)
Figure: A sign that, instead of referring to its object, reflects another
(scenographic or plastic image) or that directly reflects its object
{discursive image).
Mental-Image (Relation)
Mark: Designates natural relations, that is, the aspect under which
images are linked by a habit which takes [faitpasser] us from one
to the other. The demarkdesignates an image torn from its natural
relations.
Symbol: Used by Peirce to designate a sign that refers to its object byvirtue ofa law. Used here to designate the support ofabstractrela
tions, that is to say, of a comparison of terms independently of
their natural relations.
Opsign and Sonsign: Pure optical and sound image that breaks the
sensory-motor links, overwhelms relations, and no longer lets it
self be expressed in terms of movement but opens directly to time.
Time-Image
Chronosign (point and sheet): An image in which time ceases to be
subordinate to movement and appears for itself.
Lectosign: A visual image that must be "read" as much as seen.
Noosign: An image that goes beyond itself toward something which
can only be thought.

Crystal-Image
Hyalosign: The uniting of an actual image and a virtual image to the
point where they can no longer be distinguished.
Dream-Image
Onirosign: An image where a movement of world replaces action.
Recollection-Image
Mnemosign: A virtual image that enters into a relationship with the
actual image and extends it.
