Description de l'ouvrage:
Highlights the complex ways in which media anticipate, interfere with and draw on one other
In a world where change has become the only constant, how does the perpetually new relate to the old? How does cinema, itself once a new medium, relate both to previous or outmoded media and to what we now refer to as New Media?
This collection sets out to answer these questions by focusing on the relationships between cinema and other media, cultural productions and diverse forms of entertainment. Cinematicity in Media History highlights the complex ways in which media anticipate, interfere with and draw on one other, demonstrating how cinematicity makes itself felt in practices of seeing, reading, writing and thinking both before and after the ‘birth’ of cinema. It examines the interrelations between cinema, literature, photography and other modes of representation not only to each other, but amid a host of other minor and major media - the magic lantern, the zoetrope, the flick-book, the iPhone and the computer - and provides crucial insights into the development of media and their overlapping technologies and aesthetics.

Revue de Presse:
‘An inviting, interdisciplinary collection of essays on the question of what it has meant to interact with moving images in the modern era…Whether one is a specialist in Film/Media Studies, literature, modern cultural history, or the history of media technology, one will find that the themes invite rather than discourage trans-disciplinary participation, and, just as crucially, that the writing is compact and accessible across areas of concentration.’– Andrew Behrendt, Apparatus
A volume that peers deep into the non-linear chronology of cinematic history. It explores the often fluent boundaries between different media and finds patterns and similarities that not many would detect otherwise.– Lara Perski, Historical Journal of Film, Radio, and Television
Postgraduate students and scholars in Film and Media Studies will certainly appreciate the full extent of the pioneering work that has been accomplished in this collection...The concept of cinematicity developed here is compelling, and surely encourages a redefinition of how cinema ‘makes itself felt’ across media forms (photography and literature for instance) and platforms (such as gaming)'- Guillaume Lecomte, Kelvingrove Review (May 2014)– Guillaume Lecomte, Kelvingrove Review
