Animated 'Worlds'

What do we mean by the term animation when we are discussing film? Is it a technique? A style? A way of seeing or experiencing a world that has little relation to our own lived experience of the world? In Animated Worlds, contributors reveal the astonishing variety of worlds animation confronts us with. Essays range from close film analyses to phenomenological and cognitive approaches, spectatorship, performance, literary theory, and digital aesthetics. Authors include Vivian Sobchack, Richard Weihe, Thomas Lamarre, Paul Wells, and Karin Wehn.
