"“This is a brilliant and original book. It proposes a bold new theory of cinematic form and expression in the digital age . . . The Morph-Image is a major work of film scholarship and criticism, as well as of film theory understood in the broadest terms."" -- Steven Shaviro, Emeritus Professor of English, Wayne State University In a time in which change is the only stable reference point of orientation, Steen Ledet Christiansen‘s book attempts to ‘kill two birds with a stone.’ Christiansen proposes the morph-image – the ‘devourer of form’ – as a response both to the digital future(s) of the image (and a contender for a Cinema III), as well as our ‘image of the future’ in the age of a ubiquitous and rampant capitalism. And: He succeeds! The Morph-Image is a fascinating and almost clairvoyant book that deserves a wide readership. -- Bernd Herzogenrath, Professor of American Studies, University of Frankfurt, Germany The Morph-Image is an ambitious and provocative attempt to go beyond conventional forms of analysis and interpretation, instead decoding the very movement of the future as it unfolds in the audiovisual forms of post-cinema. -- Shane Denson, Stanford University"
