Opis

In this volume, an international group of leading scholars revisits Rudolf Arnheim's legacy for film and media studies. The contributors bring Arnheim's later work on the visual arts to bear on film and media, while also reassessing the implications of his film theory to help refine our grasp of his landmark work Film as Art, among his other texts. The volume includes a foreword by David Bordwell and an afterword by Noel Carroll. This is essential reading for any film and media student or scholar seeking to understand the meaning and contemporary impact of Arnheim's foundational work in film theory and aesthetics.

Recenzje

"...this volume is a bracing and engaging read, swiftly moving from one film to the next, and one aspect of the cinema to another, to give a comprehensive overview of Arnheim's continuing impact on film criticism." - CHOICE, April 2011
