Characters are central to our experiences of screened fictions and
invite a host of questions. The contributors to Screening
Characters draw on archival material, interviews, philosophical
inquiry, and conceptual analysis in order to give new,
thought-provoking answers to these queries. Providing multifaceted
accounts of the nature of screen characters, contributions are
organized around a series of important subjects, including issues
of class, race, ethics, and generic types as they are encountered
in moving image media. These topics, in turn, are personified by
such memorable figures as Cary Grant, Jon Hamm, Audrey Hepburn, and
Seul-gi Kim, in addition to avatars, online personalities, animated
characters, and the ensembles of shows such as The Sopranos, Mad
Men, and Breaking Bad.

Spillets kunst is the first work to systematically treat the
relation between acting and emotions in films. It is addressed to
everybody who has ever been seduced by the art of filmmaking and
wondered what the actors are doing and how they succeed in carrying
us away.
