Despite changes in the media landscape, film remains a vital force
in contemporary culture, as do our ideas of what "a movie" or "the
cinematic" are. Indeed, we might say that the category of film now
only exists in theory. Whereas film-theoretical discussion at the
turn of the 21st century was preoccupied, understandably, by
digital technology's permeation of virtually all aspects of the
film object, this volume moves the conversation away from a focus
on film's materiality towards timely questions concerning the
ethics, politics, and even aesthetics of thinking about the medium
of cinema. To put it another way, this collection narrows in on the
subject of film, not with a nostalgic sensibility, but with the
recognition that what constitutes a film is historically
contingent, in dialogue with the vicissitudes of entertainment,
art, and empire. The volume is divided into six sections:
Meta-Theory; Film Theory's Project of Emancipation; Apparatus and
Perception; Audiovisuality; How Close is Close Reading?; and The
Turn to Experience.
