This
excellent
book
brilliantly
examines
complex
arguments
about
media
and
their
impact.
As
we
transit
from
conventional
forms
of
expression
to
multi-modal
media,
Janna
Houwen
expertly
studies
the
shift
in
our
understanding
of
meaning
and
messages
and
their
role
in
contemporary
society.
An inventive reimagining of and incisive look into the materialism of video, what makes it tick but remain elusive both in and out of the filmic register. This volume expands the boundaries of a medium to include the haptic, the sensual and the state of being post-media; the very real question of how reality is structured and envisioned and what might constitute flow, power and surveillance in the 21st century.What does video do when rewound? How does it imprint the boundaries of surveillance on everyday activities? How is video embedded in films' legacy and how are screens integrated into the everyday environment(s)? Can video be embodied or embody itself and if so what are its aftereffects and its future tense? These are some of the tendrils followed deftly inFilm and Video Intermediality.This volume is a rich theoretical engagement with both the legacy of video's embedded-ness in everyday life as well as a searching interrogation of medium specificity as Modernist touchstone. Is video a thing born of re-use, morphing and a questioning of the reality effect? Or is it born of an upending of the indexical relationship between image and viewer, a relationship often taken for truth. This volume is a brisk investigation of a medium and a media inculcated into the fabric of the everyday in surprising, insidious and illuminating ways.
