ISBN: 9781350022928 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Off-Screen: An Investigation of the Cinematic Frame
ISBN: 9781503600720 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the Renaissance on, a new concept of the frame becomes crucial to a range of artistic media, which in turn are organized around and fascinated by this frame. The frame decontextualizes, cutting everything that is within it from the continuity of the world and creating a realm we understand as the realm of fiction. The modern theatrical stage, framed paintings, the novel, the cinematic screen--all present us with such framed-off zones. Naturally, the frame creates a separation between inside and out. But, as this book argues, what is outside the frame, what is offstage, or off screen,...
