Screen Space Reconfigured is the first edited volume that
critically and theoretically examines the many novel renderings of
space brought to us by 21st century screens. Exploring key cases
such as post-perspectival space, 3D, vertical framing, haptics, and
layering, this volume takes stock of emerging forms of screen space
and spatialities as they move from the margins to the centre of
contemporary media practice. Recent years have seen a marked
scholarly interest in spatial dimensions and conceptions of moving
image culture, with some theorists claiming that a 'spatial turn'
has taken place in media studies and screen practices alike. Yet
this is the first book-length study dedicated to on-screen
spatiality as such. Spanning mainstream cinema, experimental film,
video art, mobile screens, and stadium entertainment, the volume
includes contributions from such acclaimed authors as Giuliana
Bruno and Tom Gunning as well as a younger generation of scholars.
Against the grain of the growing literature on screens, Screen
Genealogies argues that the present excess of screens cannot be
understood as an expansion and multiplication of the movie screen
nor of the video display. Rather, screens continually exceed the
optical histories in which they are most commonly inscribed. As
contemporary screens become increasingly decomposed into a
distributed field of technologically interconnected surfaces and
interfaces, we more readily recognize the deeper spatial and
environmental interventions that have long been a property of
screens. For most of its history, a screen was a filter, a divide,
a shelter, or a camouflage. A genealogy stressing transformation
and descent rather than origins and roots emphasizes a deeper set
of intersecting and competing definitions of the screen, enabling
new thinking about what the screen might yet become.
