The Embodied Experience of Contemporary Cinema Screens: Phenomenology and Apparatus Theory
The proliferation of internet-based technologies has given rise to renewed scholarly interest in the phenomenological aspects of media, and in screens in particular. Screens are of course crucial to the experience of film watching and have
often been central to cultural distinctions made between cinemas and other forms of viewing that present images on a smaller scale and in lower definition. While contemporary film viewing can take many forms, clear physical differences between cinema and other
modes of movie consumption remain. These differences are accentuated by the proliferation of new screens that expand viewing options and experiences and bring the unique characteristics of the cinema theatre into sharper relief. Taking an approach based in
phenomenology this paper will explore the nature of the different bodily experiences of contemporary film viewing and the way in which these shape its modes of engagement and meaning. ***all welcome*** |
