In Discorrelated Images Shane Denson examines how
computer-generated digital images displace and transform the
traditional spatial and temporal relationships that viewers had
with conventional analog forms of cinema. Denson analyzes works
ranging from the Transformers series and Blade Runner 2049 to
videogames and multimedia installations to show how what he calls
discorrelated images-images that do not correlate with the
abilities and limits of human perception-produce new
subjectivities, affects, and potentials for perception and action.
Denson's theorization suggests that new media theory and its focus
on technological development must now be inseparable from film and
cinema theory. There's more at stake in understanding discorrelated
images, Denson contends, than just a reshaping of cinema, the
development of new technical imaging processes, and the evolution
of film and media studies: discorrelated images herald a
transformation of subjectivity itself and are essential to our
ability to comprehend nonhuman agency.

"Postnaturalism" offers an original account of human-technological
co-evolution and argues that film and media theory, in particular,
needs to be re-evaluated from the perspective of our material
interfaces with a constantly changing environment. Extrapolating
from Frankenstein films and the resonances they establish between a
hybrid monster and the spectator hooked into the machinery of the
cinema, Shane Denson engages debates in science studies and
philosophy of technology to rethink histories of cinema, media,
technology, and ultimately of the affective channels of our own
embodiment. With a foreword by media theorist Mark B. N. Hansen.
This book brings together an international group of scholars who
chart and analyze the ways in which comic book history and new
forms of graphic narrative have negotiated the aesthetic, social,
political, economic, and cultural interactions that reach across
national borders in an increasingly interconnected and globalizing
world. Exploring the tendencies of graphic narratives - from
popular comic book serials and graphic novels to manga - to cross
national and cultural boundaries, Transnational Perspectives on
Graphic Narratives addresses a previously marginalized area in
comics studies. By placing graphic narratives in the global flow of
cultural production and reception, the book investigates
controversial representations of transnational politics, examines
transnational adaptations of superhero characters, and maps many of
the translations and transformations that have come to shape
contemporary comics culture on a global scale.
