Coraline (Henry Selick, 2009) is stop-motion studio LAIKA's
feature-length debut based on the popular children's novel by
British author Neil Gaiman. Heralding a revival in global interest
in stop-motion animation, the film is both an international
cultural phenomenon and a breakthrough moment in the technological
evolution of the craft. This open access collection brings together
an international group of practitioners and scholars to examine
Coraline's place in animation history and culture, dissect its
politics, and unpack its role in the technological and aesthetic
development of its medium. More broadly, it celebrates stop motion
as a unique and enduring artform while embracing its capacity to
evolve in response to cultural, political, and technological
changes, as well as shifting critical and audience demands. Divided
into three sections, this volume's chapters situate Coraline within
an interconnected network of historical, industrial, discursive,
theoretical, and cultural contexts. They place the film in
conversation with the medium's aesthetic and technological history,
broader global intellectual and political traditions, and questions
of animation reception and spectatorship. In doing so, they invite
recognition - and appreciation - of the fact that Coraline occupies
many liminal spaces at once. It straddles the boundary between
children's entertainment and traditional 'adult' genres, such as
horror and thriller. It complicates a seemingly straight(forward)
depiction of normative family life with gestures of queer
resistance. Finally, it marks a pivotal point in stop-motion
animation's digital turn. Following the film's recent tenth
anniversary, the time is right to revisit its production history,
evaluate its cultural and industry impact, and celebrate its legacy
as contemporary stop-motion cinema's gifted child. As the first
book-length academic study of this contemporary animation classic,
this volume serves as an authoritative introduction and a primary
reference on the film for scholars, students, practitioners, and
animation fans. The ebook editions of this book are available open
access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on

Bruce Lee was a Chinese American action film star, martial arts instructor, filmmaker, and philosopher. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim. Through such films as "Way of the Dragon "and "Enter the Dragon," Lee helped to change the way Asians were presented in American films and, in the process, he became an iconic figure known throughout the world. Although he died at the young age of 32, Bruce Lee is widely considered to be the one of the most influential martial artists of all time.
