This handbook offers new ways to read the audiovisual. In the media
landscapes of today, conglomerates jockey for primacy and the
internet increasingly places media in the hands of
individuals-producing the range of phenomena from movie blockbuster
to YouTube aesthetics. Media forms and genres are proliferating and
interpenetrating, from movies, music and other entertainments
streaming on computers and iPods to video games and wireless
phones. The audiovisual environment of everyday life, too-from
street to stadium to classroom-would at times be hardly
recognizable to the mid-twentieth-century subject. The Oxford
Handbook of New Audiovisual Aesthetics provides powerful ways to
understand these changes. Earlier approaches tended to consider
sound and music as secondary to image and narrative. These remained
popular even as practices from theater, cinema and television
migrated across media. However, the traversal, or "remediation,"
from one medium to another has also provided practitioners and
audiences the chance to rewrite the rules of the audiovisual
contract. Whether viewed from the vantage of televised mainstream
culture, the Hollywood film industry, the cinematic avant-garde, or
the participatory discourses of "cyberspace," audiovisual
expression has changed dramatically. The book provides a definitive
cross-section of current ways of thinking about sound and image.
Its authors-leading scholars and promising younger ones,
audiovisual practitioners and non-academic writers (both mainstream
and independent)- open the discussion on audiovisual aesthetics in
new directions. Our contributors come from fields including film,
visual arts, new media, cultural theory, and sound and music
studies, and they draw variously from economic, political,
institutional, psychoanalytic, genre-based, auteurist,
internationalist, reception-focused, technological, and cultural
approaches to questions concerning today's sound and image. All
consider the aural dimension, and what Michel Chion calls
"audio-vision:" the sensory and semiotic result of sound placed
with vision, an encounter greater than their sum.
