The divide between the digital and the real world no longer exists:
we are connected all the time. How do we find out who we are within
this digital era? Where do we create the space to explore our
identity? How can we come together and create solidarity? The
glitch is often dismissed as an error, a faulty overlaying, but, as
Legacy Russell shows, liberation can be found within the fissures
between gender, technology and the body that it creates. The glitch
offers the opportunity for us to perform and transform ourselves in
an infinite variety of identities. In Glitch Feminism, Russell
makes a series of radical demands through memoir, art and critical
theory, and the work of contemporary artists who have travelled
through the glitch in their work. Timely and provocative, Glitch
Feminism shows how the error can be a revolution.

How is affective experience produced in the cinema? And how can we
write a history of this experience? By asking these questions, this
study by Hauke Lehmann aims at rethinking our conception of a
critical period in US film history - the New Hollywood: as a moment
of crisis that can neither be reduced to economic processes of
adaption nor to a collection of masterpieces. Rather, the
fine-grained analysis of core films reveals the power of cinematic
images to affect their audiences - to confront them with the new.
The films of the New Hollywood redefine the divisions of the
classical genre system in a radical way and thereby transform the
way spectators are addressed affectively in the cinema. The study
describes a complex interplay between three modes of affectivity:
suspense, paranoia, and melancholy. All three, each in their own
way, implicate spectators in the deep-seated contradictions of
their own feelings and their ways of being in the world: their
relations to history, to society, and to cultural fantasy. On this
basis, Affect Poetics of the New Hollywood projects an original
conception of film history: as an affective history which can be
re-written up to the present day.

Sensing Justice examines the aesthetic frames that mediate the
sensory perception and signification of law and justice in the
context of twenty-first-century Spain. What senses do these frames
privilege or downgrade? What kind of subjects do they show,
construct, and address? What kind of affective and ethical
responses do they invite? What kind of judgments do they invite?
The book addresses these questions by moving away from the focus on
narrative and through a close analysis of selected contemporary
Spanish films such as Pan's Labyrinth, High Heels, Common Wealth,
The Method, No Rest for the Wicked and Unit 7. By creating new
frames of perception and signification, the films analyzed
challenge the senses of law and justice traditionally taken for
granted and reconfigure them anew. Engaging with legal theory, film
studies, aesthetics, and politics, Sensing Justice provides a
compelling illustration of how law and justice are multisensory and
embodied experiences.
A diverse range of leading scholars, activists, archivists and
artists explore the histories, practices and concerns of women
making film and video across the world, from the pioneering German
animator Lotte Reiniger, to the influential African American
filmmaker Julie Dash and the provocative Scottish contemporary
artist Rachel Maclean. Opening with a foreword from the film
theorist Laura Mulvey and a poem by the artist filmmaker Lis
Rhodes, the book traces the legacies of early feminist
interventions into the moving image and the ways in which these
have been re-configured in the very different context of today.
Reflecting and building upon the practices of recuperation that
continue to play a vital role in feminist art practice and
scholarship, contributors discuss topics such as how
multiculturalism is linked to experimental and activist film
history, the function and nature of the essay film, feminist
curatorial practices and much more. This book transports readers
across diverse cultural contexts and geographical contours,
addressing complex narratives of subjectivity, representation and
labour, while juxtaposing cultures of film, video and visual arts
practice often held apart.
Drawing on film theory, literary modernism, psychology and art
history, Fields of View elucidates an expanded network of
connections between avant-garde film and wider culture. In this
bold and original work, A.L. Rees identifies three key terms -
'field', 'frame' and 'interval' and charts their use by filmmakers
and theorists such as Dziga Vertov, Sergei Eisenstein, Bruce
Baillie, Maya Deren, Malcolm Le Grice and Werner Nekes, from the
1920s through to the present day. A seminal voice in film culture,
Rees left the incomplete manuscript for this book on his death, and
Simon Payne has subsequently carefully prepared the book for
publication. Fields of View is an important work that establishes a
unique perspective on experimental film.
Alienation, generational tensions, rampant nationalism and the
pervasiveness of atomic danger are all topics that haunted late
Soviet citizens, and those fears are reflected in the films meant
to represent their horror genre. In the late 1970s and throughout
the 1980s, production of horror movies from independent filmmakers
and Hollywood skyrocketed. It was a time of intense Cold War
conflict and a resurgence of conservative ideals. It's not
difficult to imagine that the ascent of horror occurred in
conjunction with an increasingly scary and alienated world, and
horror reflected those freights in the form of nuclear holocausts,
toxic waste pollution, alien clown invaders and undead houseguests.
Everyone was at risk - teenagers especially - because their present
and future remained most uncertain. If we can agree that such
feelings underpinned American viewers in the age of Reagan and
neo-liberalism, then what about late socialism? How did film makers
depict Soviet society's fears?
Metaphors in audiovisual media receive increasing attention from
film and communication studies as well as from linguistics and
multimodal metaphor research. The specific media character of film,
and thus of cinematic metaphor, remains, however, largely ignored.
Audiovisual images are all too frequently understood as iconic
representations and material carriers of information. Cinematic
Metaphor proposes an alternative: starting from film images as
affective experience of movement-images, it replaces the cognitive
idea of viewers as information-processing machines, and heals the
break with rhetoric established by conceptual metaphor theory.
Subscribing to a phenomenological concept of embodiment, a shared
vantage point for metaphorical meaning-making in film-viewing and
face-to-face interaction is developed. The book offers a critique
of cognitive film and metaphor theories and a theory of cinematic
metaphor as performative action of meaning-making, grounded in the
dynamics of viewers' embodied experiences with a film. Fine-grained
case studies ranging from Hollywood to German feature film and TV
news, from tango lesson to electoral campaign commercial,
illustrate the framework's application to media and multimodality
analysis.
