In this book, editors Mario Slugan and Daniel Biltereyst present a
theoretical reconceptualization of early cinema. To do so, they
highlight the latest methods and tools for analysis, and cast new
light on the experience of early cinema through the application of
these concepts and methods. The international host of contributors
evaluate examples of early cinema across the globe, including The
May Irwin Kiss (1896), Un homme de tetes (1900), The Terrible
Turkish Executioner (1904) and Tom Tom the Piper's Son (1905). In
doing so, they address the periodization of the era, emphasizing
the recent boon in the availability of primary materials, the rise
of digital technologies, the developments in new cinema history,
and the persistence of some conceptualizations as key incentives
for rethinking early cinema in theoretical and methodological
terms. They go on to highlight cutting-edge approaches to the study
of early cinema, including the use of the Mediathread Platform, the
formation of new datasets with the help of digital technologies,
and exploring the early era in non-western cultures. Finally, the
contributors revisit early cinema audiences and exhibition contexts
by investigating some of the earliest screenings in Denmark and the
US, exploring the details of black cinema going in Harlem, and
examining exhibition practices in Germany.
