Description

Post-Cinematic Affect explores the emerging structure of feeling in the affluent West of the early 21st century. This shift is linked to new digital technologies, economic globalization, and the financialization of human activities. The book examines how these changes are reflected in contemporary moving-image works, such as music videos, films, and other forms of media. It focuses on four recent examples: Nick Hooker's Corporate Cannibal, Olivier Assayas' Boarding Gate, Richard Kelly's Southland Tales, and Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor's Gamer. By tracing these changes, Post-Cinematic Affect offers insights into the new formal strategies, viewer experiences, and address of spectators in the 21st century.
