Technology and Culture: The Film Reader brings together key
theoretical texts from more than a century of writing on film and
technology. It begins by exploring the intertwined technologies of
cinematic representation, reproduction, distribution and reception,
before locating the technological history of cinema as one
component of an increasingly complex technological culture. The
selected articles encompass a range of disciplines, perspectives
and methodologies, reflecting the multiplicity of contemporary
approaches to technology. They are grouped into four thematic
sections, each with an introduction by the editor. Origins and
Evolution - examines the lineage of cinema's machines, while
challenging the received notion that cinema began with a discrete
moment of invention Definitions and Determinism - redefines
technology, moving beyond an isolated description of cinema's
physical tools to consider the forces that play a part in shaping
their form and function Projections and Aesthetics - analyzes the
exchange between cinematic and other technologies, in terms of
cinema's capacity to reflect on and negotiate technologies other
than its own Contexts and Consequences - situates the technologies
of cinema within a broader framework, charting their engagement
with the spheres of discourse at work within society
