Encompassing experimental film and video, essay film, gallery-based
installation art, and digital art, Jihoon Kim establishes the
concept of hybrid moving images as an array of impure images shaped
by the encounters and negotiations between different media, while
also using it to explore various theoretical issues, such as
stillness and movement, indexicality, abstraction, materiality,
afterlives of the celluloid cinema, archive, memory, apparatus, and
the concept of medium as such. Grounding its study in
interdisciplinary framework of film studies, media studies, and
contemporary art criticism, Between Film, Video, and the Digital
offers a fresh insight on the post-media conditions of film and
video under the pervasive influences of digital technologies, as
well as on the crucial roles of media hybridity in the creative
processes of giving birth to the emerging forms of the moving
image. Incorporating in-depth readings of recent works by more than
thirty artists and filmmakers, including Jim Campbell, Bill Viola,
Sam Taylor-Johnson, David Claerbout, Fiona Tan, Takeshi Murata,
Jennifer West, Ken Jacobs, Christoph Girardet and Matthias Muller,
Hito Steyerl, Lynne Sachs, Harun Farocki, Doug Aitken, Douglas
Gordon, Stan Douglas, Candice Breitz, among others, the book is the
essential scholarly monograph for understanding how digital
technologies simultaneously depend on and differ film previous
time-based media, and how this juncture of similarities and
differences signals a new regime of the art of the moving image.
Exploring the controversial history of an aesthetic - realism -
this book examines the role that realism plays in the negotiation
of social, political, and material realities from the mid-19th
century to the present day. Examining a broad range of literary
texts from French, English, Italian, German, and Russian writers,
this book provides new insights into how realism engages with
themes including capital, social decorum, the law and its
politicisation, modern science as a determining factor concerning
truth, and the politics of identity. Considering works from Gustave
Flaubert, Charles Baudelaire, Emile Zola, Henry James, Charles
Dickens, and George Orwell, Docherty proposes a new philosophical
conception of the politics of realism in an age where politics
feels increasingly erratic and fantastical.
Evil women, who are they really? What are their motives, and how
are they remembered and constructed within our culture? Evil Women:
Representations within Literature, Culture and Film seeks to
interrogate the nature and construction of evil women in the above
fields. Through literature, poetry, history, ballads, film and
real-life culture, scholars explore how the evil woman has been
constructed and, in some cases, erased; the punishment and
treatment of evil women; and the way evil women have been portrayed
on and off screen through character, narrative and behind the
camera development.
