<br/><br/> Rich in implications for our present era of media change, this book offers a compelling new vision of film theory. The volume conceives of 'theory' not as a fixed body of canonical texts, but as a dynamic set of reflections on the very idea of cinema and the possibilities once associated with it. Unearthing more than 275 early-twentieth-century German texts, this documentation leads readers into a world that was striving to assimilate modernity's most powerful new medium.
