Thinking Media Aesthetics

Tildelt: kr 54 000

This book investigates the field between media studies and the aesthetic disciplines that have witnessed a very creative and fruitful growth and interaction during the last decade. In this volume, we attempt to consolidate these diverse developments into a focused interdisciplinary program that combines theoretical argumentation with exemplification and analysis of individual artworks and media phenomena. A key strategy has been to think the fields of film and media theory and art history together, not by harmonizing the disciplinary differences but by sharpening the conflicts in and across the heterogeneous field of media aesthetics. In this way, we will be able to see clearer what is at stake and take some steps further towards developing a critical med ia aesthetics. We hope that the questions raised here will push the field forward. "Thinking Media Aesthetics. Media studies, film studies" and the arts brings together contributions from different disciplines from both sides of the Atlantic and from seve ral generations. It stages a conversation that introduces important questions, and ways of thinking about those questions, around basic concepts in the field, preeminently what we mean by the "medium" and "media" in the present, and how we might best go a bout studying these terms. A proper understanding of and appreciation for media aesthetics would introduce a shift from the static concept of medium/media to the dynamic process of mediation; it would move beyond the paradigm of communication to mediation as a perspective of understanding, and it would combine theoretical argument with analysis of individual artworks or media phenomena. Finally, it would insist on the continuity, rooted in the long history of aesthetics in its more general sense, between so-called old and new media.
