ATOMIC LIGHT (SHADOW OPTICS) Akira Mizuta Lippit University of Minnesota Press | 248 pages | 2005 ISBN 0-8166-4610-4 | hardcover | $59.95 ISBN 0-8166-4611-2 | paperback | $19.95 Dreams, x-rays, atomic radiation, and ³invisible men² are phenomena that are visual in nature but unseen. Atomic Light (Shadow Optics) reveals these hidden interiors of cultural life. Akira Mizuta Lippit produces readings of secret and shadow archives and visual structures or phenomenologies of the inside, charting the materiality of what can and cannot be seen in the radioactive light of the twentieth century. ³Akira Mizuta Lippit brilliantly weaves together writings of Freud, foundational work on x-rays, and postwar Japanese and French films to articulate an atomic optics of invisibility and show the emergence of a historical optics of avisuality.² ‹Lisa Cartwright For more information, including the table of contents, visit the book¹s webpage: http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/L/lippit_atomic.html Sign up to receive news on the latest releases from University of Minnesota Press: http://www.upress.umn.edu/eform.html ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.ScreenSite.org
