Klappentext zu „Cinematic Appeals “
Cinematic Appeals follows the effect of technological innovation on the cinema experience, specifically the introduction of widescreen and stereoscopic 3D systems in the 1950s, the rise of digital cinema in the 1990s, and the transition to digital 3D since 2005. Widescreen cinema promised to draw the viewer into the world of the screen, enabling larger-than-life close-ups of already larger-than-life actors. This technology fostered the illusion of physically entering a film, enhancing the semblance of realism. Alternatively, the digital era was less concerned with the viewer's physical response and more with information flow, awe, and the reevaluation of spatiality and embodiment. This study ultimately shows how cinematic technology and the human experience shape and respond to each other over time.

Rezension zu „Cinematic Appeals “
Rogers' fascinating book looks at the affective addresses of two technologically-innovative periods of film history, the widescreen revolution in the mid-1950s and the digitization of the cinema in the late 1990s to explore the different notions of spectatorial embodiment that these technologies provide, ranging from the immersive participation of the widescreen era to the relative disembodiment of the fragmented and alienated spectator in the digital era. Rogers has made an important intervention in the on-going discussions of spectatorship and embodiment in the cinema that will determine the direction of future scholarship in those fields. -- John Belton, Rutgers University
