Addressing some of the key questions of film theory, spectatorship, and narrative, Laura Mulvey here argues that such technologies, including home DVD players, have fundamentally altered our relationship to the movies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAccording to Mulvey, new media technologies give viewers the ability to control both image and story, so that movies meant to be seen collectively and followed in a linear fashion may be manipulated to contain unexpected and even unintended pleasures. The individual frame, the projected film's best-kept secret, can now be revealed by anyone who hits pause. Easy access to repetition, slow motion, and the freeze-frame, Mulvey argues, may shift the spectator's pleasure to a fetishistic rather than a voyeuristic investment in film. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy exploring how technology can give new life to old cinema, \u003ci\u003eDeath 24x a Second \u003c\/i\u003eoffers an original reevaluation of film's history and its historical usefulness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Mulvey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1861892632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781861892638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.43w x 0.43d","brand":"Laura Mulvey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939041509631,"sku":"9781861892638","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6fb4285a-4a3f-4717-b7fa-99577d597dbd.jpg?v=1681439148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/death-24x-a-second-laura-mulvey-9781861892638","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
