Description

Cinema Between Media: An Intermediality Approach by Jørgen Bruhn and Anne Gjelsvik is a thought-provoking exploration of film as a form that blends elements from various media. The authors argue that the recognition of cinema's intermedial nature has not significantly impacted film analysis, prompting them to re-examine both the medium itself and the practice of film study. Drawing on concepts and analytical tools from media theory and intermediality, this book offers a fresh perspective on cinema as a form and its relationship with other art forms. By examining the influences that have shaped narrative cinema, including theatre, literature, music, architecture, and painting, Bruhn and Gjelsvik challenge readers to reconsider their understanding of film. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of film studies, media theory, and related disciplines, providing a nuanced analysis of cinema's intermedial nature and its implications for our understanding of the medium.
