Oxford Handbook of Sound and Image in Digital Media

The Oxford Handbook of Sound and Image in Digital Media surveys the contemporary landscape of audiovisual media. Contributors to the volume look not only to changes brought by digital innovations but to the complex social and technological past that informs and is transformed by new media. This collection is conceived as a series of dialogues and inquiries by leading scholars from both image- and sound-based disciplines. Chapters explore the history and the future of moving-image media across a range of formats including blockbuster films video games music videos social media digital visualization technologies experimental film documentaries video art pornography immersive theater and electronic music. Sound music and noise emerge within these studies as integral forces within shifting networks of representation.
