Aesthetics of Early Sound Film

Media Change around 1930
BuchGebunden
308 Seiten
Englisch
Amsterdam University Presserschienen am04.09.2023
This volume takes a fresh look at the various aesthetics emerging globally in the early sound film era, with a focus on the films´ fundamentally experimental and inventive character. By considering films and production contexts often neglected in film studies, it strives to counter the still dominant view of the transitional period as a time of yet-to-be-perfected forerunners of classical´ sound film. Instead, authors highlight the sense of fruitful uncertainty´ in this period of media change and transformation. Subjects covered include visual and auditory style; the uses of speech, music, and noises; aesthetic conceptions in sound film theory; and intermedial aesthetics. The volume´s scope is decidedly international, covering production and reception contexts in the Soviet Union, Japan, the USA, Germany, France, Italy, the UK, and Switzerland.mehr
