In the media landscapes of today  conglomerates jockey for primacy and the internet increasingly places media in the hands of individuals-producing the range of phenomena from movie blockbuster to YouTube aesthetics. Media forms and genres are proliferating and interpenetrating  from movies  music and other entertainments streaming on computers and iPods to video games and wireless phones. The audiovisual environment of everyday life  too-from street to stadium to classroom-would at times be hardly recognizable to the mid-twentieth-century subject. The Oxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aesthetics provides powerful ways to understand these changes.  Earlier approaches tended to consider sound and music as secondary to image and narrative. These remained popular even as practices from theater  cinema and television migrated across media. However  the traversal  or \"remediation \" from one medium to another has also provided practitioners and audiences the chance to rewrite the rules of the audiovisual contract. Whether viewed from the vantage of televised mainstream culture  the Hollywood film industry  the cinematic avant-garde  or the participatory discourses of \"cyberspace \" audiovisual expression has changed dramatically.  The book provides a definitive cross-section of current ways of thinking about sound and image. Its authors-leading scholars and promising younger ones  audiovisual practitioners and non-academic writers (both mainstream and independent)- open the discussion on audiovisual aesthetics in new directions. Our contributors come from fields including film  visual arts  new media  cultural theory  and sound and music studies  and they draw variously from economic  political  institutional  psychoanalytic  genre-based  auteurist  internationalist  reception-focused  technological  and cultural approaches to questions concerning todays sound and image. All consider the aural dimension  and what Michel Chion calls \"audio-vision:\" the sensory and semiotic result of sound placed with vision  an encounter greater than their sum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987125628981,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199733864","price":224.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199733866.jpg?v=1770925861","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-oxford-handbook-of-new-audiovisual-aesthetics","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
