This selection of essays, articles, lectures, and other writings by
Erik Barnouw, dean of American media scholars, chronicles athe
phenomenon of old media giving way to new, and then being replaced
by them, as the ghosts of old media rise in new forms.a In Media
Lost and Found, the sixteenth century will introduce us to early
stirrings of photography, as well as the rise of ablack lists, a
which have a too-familiar ring within our own lifetime. The
collection begins with an article on documentary film pioneer
Robert Flaherty. Barnouw then moves to a discussion of his Dutch
heritage and its role in Western civilization. This is followed by
fascinating accounts of ingenious pioneers of camera obscura and
magic lantern phantasmagoria, precursors of the magic of motion
pictures. There are lively accounts of Barnouwas own experiences,
an informative brief history of communications breakthroughs, and
an examination of the foibles of media censorship. The final
articles discuss the importance of Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray
and cinematographer Boris Kaufman, brother of Soviet filmmakers
Djiga Vertov and Mikhail Kaufman. In his writing and in his life,
Erik Barnouw has been consistently elegant, self-deprecating,
affectionate, and redolent of great depths, encouraging us to look
for and foster them in our own lives.
