Over the past decade, as digital media has expanded and print
outlets have declined, pundits have bemoaned a “crisis of
criticism” and mourned the “death of the critic.” Now that
well-paying jobs in film criticism have largely evaporated, while
blogs, message boards, and social media have given new meaning to
the saying that “everyone’s a critic,” urgent questions have
emerged about the status and purpose of film criticism in the
twenty-first century. In Film Criticism in the
Digital Age, ten scholars from across the globe come together to
consider whether we are witnessing the extinction of serious film
criticism or seeing the start of its rebirth in a new form. Drawing
from a wide variety of case studies and methodological
perspectives, the book’s contributors find many signs of the film
critic’s declining clout, but they also locate surprising
examples of how critics—whether moonlighting bloggers or salaried
writers—have been able to intervene in current popular discourse
about arts and culture. In addition to collecting a plethora
of scholarly perspectives, Film Criticism in the Digital Age
includes statements from key bloggers and print critics, like
Armond White and Nick James. Neither an uncritical celebration of
digital culture nor a jeremiad against it, this anthology offers a
comprehensive look at the challenges and possibilities that the
Internet brings to the evaluation, promotion, and explanation of
artistic works.
