Through a close examination of sound-image relations in a range of film and video forms and genres - including Warner Bros. cartoons, scratch video, and artist's film and video - Cinesonica recasts the film and video text as the meeting point of audio and visual materialities, cultural practices, and perceptual activity. The interdisciplinary approach adopted by the book makes its discussion of sound of interest to those studying and working in a range of subject disciplines, including film studies, sound studies, sonic arts, cultural studies, music, and art history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andy Birtwistle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719095484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719095481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.72d","brand":"Andy Birtwistle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44966107119871,"sku":"9780719095481","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3162a66f-2db1-443e-9820-19f33d6ea9d1.jpg?v=1711158880","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cinesonica-andy-birtwistle-9780719095481","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
