Title
The Virtual Life of Film,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
As almost (or, truly, virtually) every aspect of making and viewing movies is replaced by digital technologies, even the notion of watching a film is fast becoming an anachronism. With the likely disappearance of celluloid film stock as a medium, and the emergence of new media competing for an audience, what will happen to cinemaand to cinema studies? In the first of two books exploring this question, D. N. Rodowick considers the fate of film and its role in the aesthetics and culture of moviemaking and viewing in the twentyfirst century.Here Rodowick proposes and examines three different critical responses to the disappearance of film in relation to other timebased media, and to the study of contemporary visual culture. Film, he suggests, occupies a special place in the genealogy of the arts of the virtual: while film disappears, cinema persistsat least in the narrative forms imagined by Hollywood since 1915. Rodowick also observes that most socalled new media are fashioned upon a cinematic metaphor. His book helps us see how digital technologies are serving, like television and video before them, to perpetuate the cinematic as the mature audiovisual culture of the twentieth centuryand, at the same time, how they are preparing the emergence of a new audiovisual culture whose broad outlines we are only just beginning to distinguish.
