Summary:
Once the province of film and media scholars, today the moving image is of broad concern to historians of art and architecture and designers of everything from websites to cities. As museums and galleries devote increasing space to video installations which no longer presuppose a fixed viewer, urban space becomes envisioned and planned through "fly throughs," and(...)

Summary:
Once the province of film and media scholars, today the moving image is of broad concern to historians of art and architecture and designers of everything from websites to cities. As museums and galleries devote increasing space to video installations which no longer presuppose a fixed viewer, urban space becomes envisioned and planned through "fly throughs," and technologies such as GPS add data to the experience of travel, moving images have captured the attention of geographers and scholars across the humanities and social sciences. Their practice of "mobility studies" is remaking how we understand a contemporary world in relentless motion. Media theorist and historian Anne Friedberg (1952-2009) was among the first practitioners of visual studies to theorize the experience of vision in motion. Her books have become key points of reference in the discussion of the windows that frame images and the viewers in motion who perceive them. Although widely influential beyond her own discipline, Friedberg's work has never been the subject of an extended study. "The Moving Eye" gathers together essays by renowned thinkers in media studies, art history, architecture, and museum studies to consider the rich implications of her work for understanding film and video, new media, visual art, architecture, exhibition design, urban space, and virtual reality.

Auteur de quelques-unes des comédies parmi les plus drôles de l'histoire, émule de Lubitsch, il est, par excellence, le cinéaste de la gravité. La force du terrestre et la pesanteur sont au coeur de ses films. Les mouvements et les discours, le rire et la politique, tout est affaire de poids dans ''Certains l'aiment chaud,'' dans ''Sunset Boulevard'' comme dans ''Un, deux, trois.'' Wilder est moins un satiriste, en vérité, qu'un historien. Tantôt il analyse les origines et les évolutions de la société américaine, tantôt il décrit une Allemagne marquée par le nazisme. Aller de la gravité matérielle à la gravité historique est dès lors la trajectoire de ce livre, qui propose une vision inédite d'une oeuvre fondamentale.

This multilayered history tells the story of American film through the evolution of theater architecture and the surprisingly varied ways movies were shown, ranging from Edison's 1896 projections to the 1968 Cinerama premiere of Stanley Kubrick's 2001. William Paul matches distinct architectural forms to movie styles, showing how cinema's roots in theater influenced business practices, exhibition strategies, and film technologies.
