Reviews

“Still Moving engages new debate in a field central and crucial to cinema, media, and cultural studies. The collection explores the nature of photography and cinema both before and after the advent of digital media. As a result, some stunning work—on acceleration and simulation, on filming and editing in photographic and electronic media, on the fortunes of memory and oblivion, and on the dialogue and conflict of technologies—emerges from the tension of still and moving images.”—Tom Conley, author of Cartographic Cinema

“Still Moving maps out various interesting directions, trends, and tendencies inspired by the fact that moving-image media are losing their coherence, spinning out and recombining in interesting ways. In doing so, it opens up a number of fresh paths for examining what film and photography, as well as cinema studies and art history, will become. It will be widely read and discussed in the worlds of art and film, the classroom, the museum, and the gallery.”—D. N. Rodowick, Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies and Director of Graduate Studies in Film and Visual Studies, Harvard University
