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.
