Author Jerry White illustrates the degree to which these experiments are interconnected, sometimes implicitly but more often quite explicitly. Media makers in the North Atlantic during the period 1958-1988 were very aware of each other's cultures and aspirations, and, by structuring the book in two interlocking parts, White illustrates the degree to which a common project emerged during those three decades. \u003cbr\u003e The book is bound together by White's belief that these experiments are following in the idealism of Soviet silent filmmaker Dziga Vertov, who wrote about his notion of \"the Radio Eye.\" White also puts these experiments in the context of work by the Cuban filmmaker and theorist Julio García Espinosa and his notion of \"imperfect cinema,\" Jürgen Habermas and his notions of the \"public sphere,\" and Édourard Glissant's ideas about \"créolité\" as the defining aspect of modern culture. This is a genuinely internationalist moment, and these experiments are in conversation with a wide array of thought across a number of languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerry White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1554586143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781554586141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jerry White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202972729599,"sku":"9781554586141","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b9b84bb-95db-458f-b55f-2108167e039a.jpg?v=1756833942","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-radio-eye-jerry-white-9781554586141","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
