Reviews

Film and Media Studies has tended to shy away from the idea of judgement but, as this collection of essays edited by Panse and Rothermel makes clear, judgement is an integral aspect of how film and media works. Judgement is a two way street we judge what we see on the screen and in turn it judges us. This outstanding collection explores in depth the practical and theoretical issues raised by the problem of judgement. Ian Buchanan, University of Wollongong, Australia This collection not only documents in manifold ways how judging and judgment permeates the production and reception of contemporary moving images, which Kant's Critique of Judgment never could have predicted. It also initiates the reader into exactly this philosophy in an extremely elegant and informed way. - Diedrich Diederichsen, Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, Austria
