Acting and Performance in Moving Image Culture : Bodies, Screens, and Renderings

This volume offers transdisciplinary approaches to discuss acting in moving-image culture. It assembles international scholars from dance, theatre, film, media and cultural studies, art and philosophy, who scrutinie both the actor, presence and art in analog and digital film from historical, generic, and particularly theoretical perspectives: phenomenology, Deleue studies, new media theory to cognitive research, along with re-animated classical approaches and case studies. Each perspective interrogates the fundamental conceptions of act and actor that underwrite both popular and academic notions of performance in film from past to present.
