The Digital Reading Condition
This volume offers a critical overview of digital reading practices and scholarly efforts to analyze and understand reading in the mediatized landscape. Building on research about digital reading, born-digital literature, and digital audiobooks, The Digital Reading Condition explores reading as part of a broader cultural shift encompassing many forms of media and genres. Bringing together research from media and literary studies, digital humanities, scholarship on reading and learning, as well as sensory studies and research on multimodal and multisensory media reception, the authors address and challenge print-biased conceptions of reading that are still prevalent in research, whether the r...
Digital Audiobooks
Audiobooks are rapidly gaining popularity with widely accessible digital downloading and streaming services. This book engages with the digital form of audiobooks, framing audiobook listening as both a remediation of literature and an everyday activity that creates new reading experiences that can be compared to listening to music or the radio. Have and Stougaard Pedersen challenge the historical notion that audiobook listening is a compensatory activity or a second-rate reading experience, while seeking to establish a dialogue between sound studies and media studies, comparative literature, aesthetics, and sociology.
Rytme
Følg rytmen, siger dem med en tone i livet. Det er sværere end som så. For rytme svæver frit i luften, indtil vi sanser den. Manglende rytmesans betyder dog ikke, at vi skal føle os ude af takt med omverdenen. Ifølge Birgitte Stougaard Pedersen, Aarhus Universitets træfsikre rytmeekspert, er rytme meget mere end gentagelser i musik. Rytmer er overalt, de påvirker vores måde at opfatte livet på og opstår i mødet mellem begivenheder, tid og energi. Derfor former rytme både samfund og kropslige fornemmelser – det ses også på alle os, der ikke kan ramme beatet på dansegulvet.
Off Beat
Off Beat: Pluralizing Rhythm draws attention to rhythm as a tool for analyzing various cultural objects. In fields as diverse as music, culture, nature, and economy, rhythm can be seen as a phenomenon that both connects and divides. It suggests a certain measure with which people, practices, and cultures may comply. Yet, for this very reason rhythm can also function as a field of exclusion, contestation, and debate. In that respect, rhythm possesses an underestimated meaning-creating potential. Whereas its connecting force is often accentuated in the aesthetic, political, and commercial usage of the term, the divisive aspect of rhythm is at least as important. This volume wants to rid rhythm...
The Untold Story of the Talking Book
Histories of the book often move straight from the codex to the digital screen. Left out is nearly 150 years of audio recordings. Matthew Rubery uncovers this story, from Edison to today’s billion-dollar audiobook industry, and breaks from convention by treating audiobooks as a distinctive art form that has profoundly influenced the way we read.
Lyd, litteratur og musik
Hvad har John Cages kompositioner til fAelles med Gunnar Bjorlings digte? Hvorfor er Maurice Ravels klavertrioer og Virginia Woolf prosatekster pa bolgelAengde? Denne bog svarer, at vAerkernes stemmeforing og rytme er det, der forener - men ogsa adskiller dem. Alle har de deres eget tonefald, og nar det opleves gennem lytningen og lAesningen, sAettes man i en sAerlig stemning. Lyden bringer kunstarterne pa talefod: Stemme og rytme er musikalske fAenomener, men de kan ogsa pa en beslAegtet made vAere betydningsbAerende i bade lyrik og prosa.Lyd, litteratur og musik opstiller et vokabular for den feeling, der opstar i oplevelsen af og bevAegelsen imellem musik og litteratur. Med analytisk udgangspunkt i Cage og Bjorling, Ravel og Woolf formuleres som noget nyt et prAecist sprog for, hvordan stemning fungerer i oplevelsen af kunst. SAerligt prAesenterer bogen ideen om, at det lydlige skal forstas som en gestus, hvor modtageren i dobbelt forstand tiltales af vAerket.
The Palgrave Handbook of Intermediality
This handbook provides an extensive overview of traditional and emerging research areas within the field of intermediality studies, understood broadly as the study of interrelations among all forms of communicative media types, including transmedial phenomena. Section I offers accounts of the development of the field of intermediality - its histories, theories and methods. Section II and III then explore intermedial facets of communication from ancient times until the 21st century, with discussion on a wide range of cultural and geographical settings, media types, and topics, by contributors from a diverse set of disciplines. It concludes in Section IV with an emphasis on urgent societal issues that an intermedial perspective might help understand.
Beyond Media Borders, Volume 1
This open access book promotes the idea that all media types are multimodal and that comparing media types, through an intermedial lens, necessarily involves analysing these multimodal traits. The collection includes a series of interconnected articles that illustrate and clarify how the concepts developed in Elleström’s influential article The Modalities of Media: A Model for Understanding Intermedial Relations (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010) can be used for methodical investigation and interpretation of media traits and media interrelations. The authors work with a wide range of old and new media types that are traditionally investigated through limited, media-specific concepts. The publication is a significant contribution to interdisciplinary research, advancing the frontiers of conceptual as well as practical understanding of media interrelations. This is the first of two volumes. It contains Elleström’s revised article and six other contributions focusing especially on media integration: how media products and media types are combined and merged in various ways.
A Companion to Fritz Lang
A Companion to Fritz Lang “Fritz Lang’s movie-making spans a major part of the history of cinema, across genres, styles, and national contexts. With smartness and sharpness, the essays in this essential volume come from many angles to capture the richness of Lang’s cinema and bring great insight to its study.” Dana Polan, Cinema Studies, NYU Fritz Lang’s influence on cinema cannot be overstated, with a career that stretched from the silent era in Germany to the decline of the Hollywood studio system in the late 1950s, from the Weimar Republic to Nazi Germany, from Depression America to the McCarthy era. One of the best known émigrés from Germany’s school of Expressionism, Lang ...
