The Key Debates series was launched in 2010 with the aim of revisiting "the central issues that continue to animate thinking about film and audiovisual media," which we have now done across ten volumes.All of these have followed a pattern of reexamining foundational texts and issues, while also investigating new lines of transmission and interpretation.Our book series' dual interest in foundations and novel lines of inquiry is demonstrated by the…
Raiva contra a máquina
Buffering, ou seja, a necessidade de pré-carregar dados antes de transmitir um arquivo de vídeo ou áudio, resume as rupturas e interrupções frequentemente ignoradas do engajamento digital. Considerando que o buffer é frequentemente lido como "ruído" ou como um incômodo técnico aguardando uma solução, um olhar mais atento pode nos levar a desafiar nossa noção de mediação, imersão e controle. Ao contextualizar o estudo do buffering dentro de uma ri…

A prominent voice in the New Disability Arts movement, Carolyn Lazard is a multidisciplinary artist rethinking captioning and other access techniques as tools for composition.

Exploring this recent plot-twist in bingeing scholarship, this article proposes five new ways to study the most dominant spectatorial mode under corona-capitalism. These propositions include studying how the pandemic turned bingeing into an antidote to “languishing,” a…

The teleprompter, invented in 1948 as a memory aid for show business, has become a ubiquitous technology in modern politics. Yet, the hidden ways in which this device shapes our understanding of performance, newscasting, and political rhetoric are rarely studied by media scholars. Recognizing this lacuna, this article traces the evolution of the teleprompter from a cumbersome, human-operated device to an invisible system of screens designed to co…
A Body in Every Cellar
Defined by an ongoing conflict with the Palestinians, a constant tension between religion and democracy, and an ever-growing economic inequality, contemporary Israeli existence germinates "perpetual violence"—the notion that violence can never be fully eliminated or controlled. This endless loop of anxiety and fear can be traced in a new cinematic movement consisting of more than ten Israeli features made between 2010 and 2015. Influenced by the …
