ABSTRACT

Essay is not simply a free art form without formal norms, but rather an experiment, experimentation beyond formal freedom and relative brevity, as the dictionary meaning of ‘the work of confirming (reviewing) the characteristics or properties of an object or its use method’, and more closely related to the critical and heuristic project of thought. Essay film is also another form of film that stimulates thinking about film by experimenting and testing film itself (including film writer and audience) through its own format. In this respect, Godard's work is a representative example of comprehensively realizing the formal, philosophical, and political potential of these essay films. In particular, in <6x2>, Godard turns the existing cinematic grammar, form, and norms into a blank slate, and deconstructs the image called ‘Godardian pedagogy’ (Daney) through an experimental essay composed of the fundamental elements and problems of the film. try Through these experiments and trials, i.e., ‘essays’, Godard tried to re-establish the possibility of new arrangement of cinematic images, the political relationship with discourse and language, and above all, the creative capacity of images.
