BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT

 

 

We are proud to announce the 50th book in our Film Culture in Transition series:

 

Film History as Media Archaeology

Tracking Digital Cinema

By Thomas Elsaesser

 

Film History as Media Archaeology is a fantastic continuation and crystallisation of what the Film Culture in Transition book series has done for so many years and over so many volumes: moved film studies into new discussions, combining new empirical insights with theoretical impact that continues to excite.” – Professor Jussi Parikka, author of What is Media Archaeology and A Geology of Media

 

Look Inside

 

Since cinema has entered the digital era, its very nature has come under renewed scrutiny. Countering the 'death of cinema' debate, Film History as Media Archaeology presents a robust argument for the cinema's current status as a new epistemological object, of interest to philosophers, while also examining the presence of moving images in the museum and art spaces as a challenge for art history.

 

The current study is the fruit of some twenty years of research and writing at the interface of film history, media theory and media archaeology by one of the acknowledged pioneers of the 'new film history' and 'media archaeology'. It joins the efforts of other media scholars to locate cinema's historical emergence and subsequent transformations within the broader field of media change and interaction, as we experience them today.
