Description
The Animation Studies Reader brings together key writings in animation studies, covering theory and aesthetics, form and genre, and representation. This collection provides a solid foundation for understanding animation as an art form and its impact on society. The book is divided into three sections, each exploring different aspects of animation. The first section examines the fundamental qualities of animation, while the second looks at the various forms that animation takes, including discussions of genre. The third section focuses on representation in animation, considering how the medium affects our perceptions of bodies, gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity. By reading this book, you'll gain a deeper understanding of animation as a field of study and its relevance to broader cultural and social issues.
