Book excerpt: This book demonstrates, in contrast to statistics that show declining consumption of physical formats, that there has not been a mass shift towards purely digital media. Physical releases such as special editions, DVD box-sets and Blu-Rays are frequently promoted and sought out by consumers. And that past formats such as VHS, Laserdisc and HD-DVD make for sought-after collectible items.

Book Digital Scholarly Editions Beyond Text

Download or read book Digital Scholarly Editions Beyond Text written by Tessa Gengnagel and published by arthistoricum.net. This book was released on 2024-02-07 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarly editions contextualize our cultural heritage. Traditionally, methodologies from the field of scholarly editing are applied to works of literature, e.g. in order to trace their genesis or present their varied history of transmission. What do we make of the variance in other types of cultural heritage? How can we describe, record, and reproduce it systematically? From medieval to modern times, from image to audiovisual media, the book traces discourses across different disciplines in order to develop a conceptual model for scholarly editions on a broader scale. By doing so, it also delves into the theory and philosophy of the (digital) humanities as such.

Book Cinema Beyond the City

Download or read book Cinema Beyond the City written by Judith Thissen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cinema is often perceived as a metropolitan medium – an entertainment product of the big city and for the big city. Yet film exhibitors have been bringing moving pictures to towns and villages since the early days of itinerant shows. This volume presents for the first time an exploration of the social, cultural and economic dynamics of film culture in the European countryside. Spanning more than a century of film exhibition from the early twentieth-century to the present day, Cinema Beyond the City examines the role that movie-going has played in small-town and rural communities across Europe. It documents an amazing diversity of sites and situations that are relevant for understanding historical and current patterns in film consumption. In chapters written by leading scholars and young academics, interdisciplinary research is used to address key questions about access, economic viability, audience behaviour, film programming and the cultural flows between cities and hinterlands. With its wide range of regional studies and innovative methodological approaches, the collection will be of interest not only to film historians, but also to scholars in the fields of urban history, rural studies and cultural geography.

Book Cataloging beyond the Notes  Annotating Bibliographic Records for Music Effectively in RDA

Download or read book Cataloging beyond the Notes Annotating Bibliographic Records for Music Effectively in RDA written by Ralph Hartsock and published by A-R Editions, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-06 with total page 876 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Cataloging beyond the Notes: Annotating Bibliographic Records for Music Effectively in RDA, authors Ralph Hartsock and Peter Lisius present examples illustrating the effective use of notes in the description of music, and this is especially important with RDA. Since RDA has increased granularity in the description of music, whether in score, recording, video, or data formats, the expert direction offered in Cataloging beyond the Notes makes it a key reference for music cataloging. Bibliographic records are presented using MARC21. An essential resource for practicing music catalogers, Cataloging beyond the Notes begins with a comprehensive introduction, including instructions on how to use the book, and presents examples of the granular data that informs users about specific details. In addition, the examples are augmented by the authors’ commentary, so that the result is expert guidance in a single, highly accessible publication. More than that, navigation to and from the newer RDA format is facilitated by an appendix keyed to specific RDA details. Frequently used and related terms are also covered in a glossary specific to this volume. Taken as a whole, Cataloging beyond the Notes belongs in every music library and on each cataloger’s desk.

Book Renegotiating Film Genres in East Asian Cinemas and Beyond

Download or read book Renegotiating Film Genres in East Asian Cinemas and Beyond written by Lin Feng and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together nine original chapters to examine genre agency in East Asian cinema within the transnational context.

The volume expands the scholarly discussion of the rich heritage and fast-changing landscape of filmmaking in East Asian cinemas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since digital surround sound technology first appeared in cinemas 20 years ago, it has spread from theaters to homes and from movies to television, music, and video games. Yet even as 5.1 has become the standard for audiovisual media, its impact has gone unexamined. Drawing on works from the past two decades, as well as dozens of interviews with sound designers, mixers, and editors, Mark Kerins uncovers how 5.1 surround has affected not just sound design, but cinematography and editing as well. Beyond Dolby (Stereo) includes detailed analyses of Fight Club, The Matrix, Hairspray, Disturbia, The Rock, Saving Private Ryan, and Joy Ride, among other films, to illustrate the value of a truly audiovisual approach to cinema studies.

Book Merchants of Menace

    Book Details:
  • Author : Richard Nowell
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing USA
  • Release : 2014-04-10
  • ISBN : 1623564204
  • Pages : 279 pages

Download or read book Merchants of Menace written by Richard Nowell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anglophone horror films are typically approached as the inevitable by-products of psychological and social demons haunting filmmakers and their homelands - in short, as if they were 'our collective nightmares'. These 'reflectionist' approaches have led horror films routinely and reductively to be framed as mouthpieces for misogynistic sadists lurking in the shadows of the exploitation sector, as defiant expressions of resistance enacted by noble progressives, or as platforms for the politically reactionary evils of the biggest, scariest monster of all: Hollywood. The industry logic, strategies, and practices that heavily determine horror film content, the nature of horror film production, promotion, and dissemination, as well as the responses to these activities, have therefore been either side-stepped completely or reduced unhelpfully to the profit-making motives underwriting all capitalist endeavours. Consequently, even though horror has been a key component of media output for almost a century, the genre's industrial character remains under explored and poorly understood." (EDITOR).
