Timeshift: on video culture

by Cubitt, Sean

Type Book
Rate 0.0 /5

"Timeshift argues that video, rather than film or television, has the potential to become a uniquely democratic medium. Through electronic recording -- video rental, off-air recordings, music video, community, campaign or artists' video -- viewers have found a new set of cultural relations, uses and practices. Testing current semiotic, postmodernist and psychoanalytic approaches in the laboratory of real-life viewing, Timeshift presents a perceptive analysis of video culture today."--back cover.
