Titre(s) : The squid cinema from hell [Texte imprimé] : Kinoteuthis Infernalis and the emergence of Chthulumedia / Willima Brown and David H. Fleming
Publication : Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press, 2020
Description matérielle : 1 vol. (IX-316 p.) : ill. ; 24 cm
Note(s) : Here be Kraken! The Squid Cinema From Hell draws upon writers like Vilém Flusser,
Donna J. Haraway, Graham Harman and Eugene Thacker to offer up a critical analysis
of cephalopods and other tentacular creatures in contemporary media, while also speculating
that digital media might themselves constitute a weird, intelligent alien. If this
were not enough to shiver ye timbers, the book engages with contemporary discourses
of posthumanism, speculative realism, object-oriented ontology and animal studies
to suggest that humans are the products of media rather than media being the products
of humans. Including case studies of films by Denis Villeneuve, Park Chan-wook and
Céline Sciamma, The Squid Cinema From Hell also provides a daring engagement with
various media beyond cinema, including literature, music videos, 4DX, advertising,
websites, YouTube, Artificial Intelligence and more. Zounds! This unique and Lovecraftian
book will change the way you think about, and with, our contemporary, media-saturated
world. For as we contemplate the abyss, the abyss looks back at us – and chthulumedia,
or media at the end of human times, begin to emerge.
