ABSTRACT: It suggests that parallel distributed processing provides a model for pedagogy and research, applicable to both classroom and scholarly work. Cinema, Computers, and War explores the relationship between criticism, technology, and modern digital culture. It uses these technologies to invent new methods for film scholarship--not to define film studies in the age of electracy, but to make room for it.

The Bolex camera, 16mm reversal film stocks, commercial film laboratories, and low-budget optical printers were the small-gauge media technologies that provided the infrastructure for experimental filmmaking at the height of its cultural impact. Technology and the Making of Experimental Film Culture examines how the avant-garde embraced these material resources and invested them with meanings and values adjacent to those of semiprofessional film culture. By reasserting the physicality of the body in making time-lapse and kinesthetic sequences with the Bolex, filmmakers conversed with other art forms and integrated broader spheres of humanistic and scientific inquiry into their artistic process. Drawing from the photographic qualities of stocks such as Tri-X and Kodachrome, they discovered pliant metaphors that allowed them to connect their artistic practice to metaphysics, spiritualism, and Hollywood excess. By framing film labs as mystical or adversarial, they cultivated an oppositionality that valorized control over the artistic process. And by using the optical printer as a tool for excavating latent meaning out of found footage, they posited the reworking of images as fundamental to the exploration of personal and cultural identity. Providing a wealth of new detail about the making of canonized avant-garde classics by such luminaries as Carolee Schneemann, Jack Smith, and Stan Brakhage, as well as rediscovering works from overlooked artists such as Chick Strand, Amy Halpern, and Gunvor Nelson, Technology and the Making of Experimental Film Culture uses technology as a lens for examining the process of making: where ideas come from, how they are put into practice, and how arguments about those ideas foster cultural and artistic commitments and communities.

This book offers a plea to take the materiality of media technologies and the sensorial and tacit dimensions of media use into account in the writing of the histories of media and technology. In short, it is a bold attempt to question media history from the perspective of an experimental media archaeology approach. It offers a systematic reflection on the value and function of hands-on experimentation in research and teaching. Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Theory is the twin volume to Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Practice, authored by Tim van der Heijden and Aleksander Kolkowski.

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. While industries such as music, newspapers, film and publishing have seen radical changes in their business models and practices as a direct result of new technologies, higher education has so far resisted the wholesale changes we have seen elsewhere. However, a gradual and fundamental shift in the practice of academics is taking place. Every aspect of scholarly practice is seeing changes effected by the adoption and possibilities of new technologies. This book will explore these changes, their implications for higher education, the possibilities for new forms of scholarly practice and what lessons can be drawn from other sectors.

Essays examining the relationships between culture, film, and the audience around the turn of the twentieth century. The current digital revolution has sparked a renewed interest in the origins and trajectory of modern media, particularly in the years around 1900 when the technology was rapidly developing. This collection aims to broaden our understanding of early cinema as a significant innovation in media history. Joining traditional scholarship with fresh insights from a variety of disciplines, this book explains the aesthetic and institutional characteristics in early cinema within the context of the contemporary media landscape. It also addresses transcultural developments such as scientific revolutions, industrialization, urbanization, and globalization, as well as differing attitudes toward modernization. Film 1900 is an important reassessment of early cinema’s position in cultural history. “The capable Ligensa and Kreimeier invited a coterie of renowned Continental scholars and thinkers to reflect on issues of modernity and cinema by harking back to the fin de siècle. . . . Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty.” —T. Lindval, Choice

A new collection in the Wiley Blackwell Companions to National Cinemas series, featuring the cinemas of India In A Companion to Indian Cinema, film scholars Neepa Majumdar and Ranjani Mazumdar along with 25 established and emerging scholars, deliver new research on contemporary and historical questions on Indian cinema. The collection considers Indian cinema's widespread presence both within and outside the country, and pays particular attention to regional cinemas such as Bhojpuri, Bengali, Malayalam, Manipuri, and Marathi. The volume also reflects on the changing dimensions of technology, aesthetics, and the archival impulse of film. The editors have included scholarship that discusses a range of films and film experiences that include commercial cinema, art cinema, and non-fiction film. Even as scholarship on earlier decades of Indian cinema is challenged by the absence of documentation and films, the innovative archival and field work in this Companion extends from cinema in early twentieth century India to a historicized engagement with new technologies and contemporary cinematic practices. There is a focus on production cultures and circulation, material cultures, media aesthetics, censorship, stardom, non-fiction practices, new technologies, and the transnational networks relevant to Indian cinema. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students of film and media studies, South Asian studies, and history, A Companion to Indian Cinema is also an important new resource for scholars with an interest in the context and theoretical framework for the study of India's moving image cultures.

Conjuror's Box examines the influence of technology on American avant-garde cinema, dating roughly from the 1960s to the present. It offers causal accounts of four technological developments--the filmstrip, optical printing, film labs, and digital video--and argues that technology is crucial for understanding avant-garde cinema's complicated relationships with aesthetics, theory, culture, and the act of art-making. This entails overlapping approaches to the material: conducting primary document research and personal interviews to reconstruct key historical developments, applying close visual analysis of film form, elaborating the working processes of film and video makers, and proposing a fresh conceptual base to link the complicated, and often surprising, influence of technology on avant-garde filmmaking. This dissertation makes several contributions. First, it argues that in exploring the boundaries of a technologically delimited medium, avant-garde filmmakers innovated radical approaches to visual transformation, one of the defining characteristics of avant-garde cinema. In particular, it focuses upon the contributions of the "minor cinema" generation, arguing that this era of avant-garde filmmaking cemented reworking and "post-production" as critical to the avant-garde project. Second, it re-examines discourses of amateurism and medium specificity, both of which have been central to the avant-garde ethos. Specifically, this dissertation confronts two commonplace assumptions: 1) The avant-garde's authenticity is bound up with its lo-fi, amateur-based approach to filmmaking technology; and 2) Technology in the avant-garde always functions reflexively, to call attention to the material and ideological dimensions of the medium. In direct rebuttal, I demonstrate the avant-garde's sophisticated approach to technology for purposes that go beyond reflexivity. Third, the dissertation broadens the "institutional turn" in recent avant-garde film scholarship by focusing on technology. Perhaps because the achievements of the cinematic avant-garde are so substantial in the face of indifference or outright hostility, there is a tendency to champion its autonomy by emphasizing its separation from mainstream industries. I argue for a more complex view that understands the avant-garde to be both autonomous and dependent, piggybacking upon a variety of technological developments that were intended to service other filmmaking markets
