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. 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.
