The preoccupation with "depth" and its relevance to cinema and
media studies For decades the concept of depth has been central to
critical thinking in numerous humanities-based disciplines,
legitimizing certain modes of inquiry over others. Deep Mediations
examines why and how this is, as scholars today navigate the legacy
of depth models of thought and vision, particularly in light of the
"surface turn" and as these models impinge on the realms of cinema
and media studies. The collection's eighteen essays seek to
understand the decisive but evolving fixation on depth by
considering the term's use across a range of conversations as well
as its status in relation to critical methodologies and the current
mediascape. Engaging contemporary debates about new computing
technologies, the environment, history, identity, affect,
audio/visual culture, and the limits and politics of human
perception, Deep Mediations is a timely interrogation of depth's
ongoing importance within the humanities. Contributors: Laurel
