The beginning of the 20th century saw literary scholars from Russia
positing a new definition for the nature of literature. Within the
framework of Russian Formalism, the term 'literariness' was coined.
The driving force behind this theoretical inquiry was the desire to
identify literature-and art in general-as a way of revitalizing
human perception, which had been numbed by the automatization of
everyday life. The transformative power of 'literariness' is made
manifest in many media artworks by renowned artists such as Chantal
Akerman, Mona Hatoum, Gary Hill, Jenny Holzer, William Kentridge,
Nalini Malani, Bruce Nauman, Martha Rosler, and Lawrence Weiner.
The authors use literariness as a tool to analyze the aesthetics of
spoken or written language within experimental film, video
performance, moving image installations, and other media-based art
forms. This volume uses as its foundation the Russian Formalist
school of literary theory, with the goal of extending these
theories to include contemporary concepts in film and media
studies, such as Neoformalism, intermediality, remediation, and
postdrama.
