This book, written from the perspective of a designer and educator,
brings to the attention of media historians, fellow practitioners
and students the innovative practices of leading moving image
designers. Moving image design, whether viewed as television and
movie title sequences, movie visual effects, animating
infographics, branding and advertising, or as an art form, is being
increasingly recognised as an important dynamic part of
contemporary culture. For many practitioners this has been long
overdue. Central to these designers' practice is the hybridisation
of digital and heritage methods. Macdonald uses interviews with
world-leading motion graphic designers, moving image artists and
Oscar nominated visual effects supervisors to examine the hybrid
moving image, which re-invigorates both heritage practices and the
handmade and analogue crafts. Now is the time to ensure that
heritage skills do not atrophy, but that their qualities and
provenance are understood as potent components with digital
practices in new hybrids.
"Adorno and Heidegger" explores the conflictual history of two
important traditions of twentieth-century European thought: the
critical theory of Theodor W. Adorno and the ontology of Martin
Heidegger. As is well known, there has been little productive
engagement between these two schools of thought, in large measure
due to Adorno's sustained and unanswered critique of Heidegger.
Stemming from this critique, numerous political and philosophical
barriers have kept these traditions separate, such that they have
rarely been submitted to scrutiny, let alone questioned. The essays
making up this collection are fresh and original attempts at coming
to terms with the nuances and difficulties that these two towering
figures have bequeathed to the history of European thought. The
volume's authors deal with a variety of issues ranging from
epistemology to esthetics, to ethics, to intellectual history and
modernity, providing the reader with detailed insight into a thorny
debate in the history of recent European thought.

Possibility is a concept central to both philosophy and social
theory. But in what philosophical soil, if any, does the
possibility of a better society grow? At the intersection of
metaphysics and social theory, What Would Be Different looks to
Theodor W. Adorno to reflect on the relationship between the
possible and the actual. In repeated allusions to utopia,
redemption, and reconciliation, Adorno appears to reference a
future that would break decisively with the social injustices that
have characterized history. To this end, and though he never
explains it in any detail-let alone in the form of a full-blown
theory or metaphysics-he also makes extensive technical use of the
concept of possibility. Taking Adorno's critical readings of other
thinkers, especially Hegel and Heidegger, as his guiding thread,
Iain Macdonald reflects on possibility as it relates to Adorno's
own writings and offers answers to the question of how we are to
articulate such possibilities without lapsing into a vague and
naive utopianism.
