Moving image culture seems to privilege the instantly identifiable: the recognisable face, the well-timed stunt, the perfectly synchronised line of dialogue. Yet perfect, in-focus visibility does not come "naturally" to the moving image. Pursuing a range of approaches (from aesthetics tophenomenology to production studies), the authors in this volume actively explore moving images in states of decay, distortion, indistinctness and fragmentation, while drawing upon key theoretical themes including affect, embodiment, visual signification and "legibility". | Indefinite Visions by Martine Beugnet, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
