Our point of departure is the acknowledgement that our sensory perception is fundamentally subject to mediation, through a class of objects, techniques, and technologies. We emphasize mediation to consider the loss of optical certainty, and explore illusionism within the register of the uncanny. The volume is divided into three sections: Screens as Perceptual Vehicles (Part I), Mediation and its Avatars (Part II), and Alternative Teleologies of Media (Part III). Overall, the collection resonates with contemporary discussions of screen culture, media materiality and intermediality. It explores an array of pre- and post-cinematic devices and spectacular entertainments, forging links between old and new media, and across media formats.Item Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmContributor: Peter Bloom (Edited by), Dominique Jullien (Edited by)Genre: Films & TVBook Series: Edinburgh Studies in Film and IntermedialityAuthor: No AuthorRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
