Video Theories - A Transdisciplinary Reader.
Dieter Daniels and Jan Thoben (eds.), International texts in critical
media aesthetics, Bloomsbury Academic 2022
Breaking new ground as the first transdisciplinary reader on video
theories, the Video Theories Reader is a resource that will form the
basis for further research and teaching. While theories of video have
not yet formed an academic discipline comparable to the more canonized
theories of photography, film, and television, the reader offers a major
step toward bridging this “video gap” in media theory, which is
remarkable considering today's omnipresence of the medium through online
video portals and social media.
Consisting of a selection of eighty-three annotated source texts and
twelve chapter introductions written by the editors, this book considers
fifty years of scholarly and artistic reflections on the topic,
representing an intergenerational and international set of voices. This
transdisciplinary reader offers a conceptual framework for diverging and
contradictory viewpoints, following the continuous transformations of
what video was, is, and will be.
