This book examines how 'filmic' ways of experiencing and
representing the world affected different eras, art forms, and
media. In a world where change has become the only constant, how
does the perpetually new relate to the old? How does cinema, itself
once a new medium, relate both to previous or outmoded media and to
what we now refer to as New Media? This collection sets out to
examine these questions by focusing on the relations of cinema to
other media, cultural productions and diverse forms of
entertainment, demarcating their sometimes parallel and sometimes
more closely conjoined histories. Cinematicity in Media History
makes visible the complex ways in which media anticipate, interfere
with and draw on one other, demonstrating how cinematicity makes
itself felt in practices of seeing, reading, writing and thinking
both before and after the 'birth' of cinema. The examination of the
interrelations between cinema, literature, photography and other
modes of representation, not only to each other but amid a host of
other minor and major media - the magic lantern, the zoetrope, the
flick book, the iPhone and the computer - provides crucial insights
into the development of media and their overlapping technologies
and aesthetics. Cinematicity in Media History is therefore an
essential resource for students and scholars in Film and Media
Studies. Demonstrates the breadth and influences of cinematic ways
of perceiving the world; covers a range of cinematic texts and
genres in comparative contexts; examines key developments in pre
cinema and cinema history and provides new scholarship on cinematic
perception across different media.
