However, his later aesthetic theories on form, perception and emotion should play an important role in contemporary film and media studies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this enlightening new volume in the AFI Film Readers series, an international group of leading scholars revisits Arnheim's legacy for film and media studies.

The contributors discuss a broad range topics including Arnheim's film writings in relation to modernism, his antipathy to sound as well as color in film, the formation of his early ideas on film against the social and political backdrop of the day, the wider uses of his methodology, and the implications of his work for digital media. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is essential reading for any film and media student or scholar seeking to understand the meaning and contemporary impact of Arnheim's foundational work in film theory and aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Higgins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415801087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415801089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011","brand":"Scott Higgins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440965857535,"sku":"9780415801089","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eca92189-6104-4b34-820f-20531de67811.jpg?v=1777187852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arnheim-for-film-and-media-scott-higgins-9780415801089","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
