- Winner of Deep Mediations 2022
Overview
The preoccupation with ""depth"" and its relevance to cinema and media studies For decades the concept of depth has been central to critical thinking in numerous humanities-based disciplines, legitimizing certain modes of inquiry over others. Deep Mediations examines why and how this is, as scholars today navigate the legacy of depth models of thought and vision, particularly in light of the ""surface turn"" and as these models impinge on the realms of cinema and media studies. The collection's eighteen essays seek to understand the decisive but evolving fixation on depth by considering the term's use across a range of conversations as well as its status in relation to critical methodologies and the current mediascape. Engaging contemporary debates about new computing technologies, the environment, history, identity, affect, audio/visual culture, and the limits and politics of human perception, Deep Mediations is a timely interrogation of depth's ongoing importance within the humanities.
