With apologies for repeated and cross posting, We'd like to announce the publication of two books, the Oxford Handbook of Sound and Image in Digital Media, and the Oxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aesthetics (Oxford University Press). The handbooks' contributors hope to encourage new research in audiovisual studies. Here are descriptions and lists of co-editors and authors – The Oxford Handbook of Sound and Image in Digital Media surveys the contemporary landscape of audiovisual media. Contributors to the volume look not only to changes brought by digital innovations, but to the complex social and technological past that informs, and is transformed by, new media. This collection is conceived as a series of dialogues and inquiries by leading scholars from both image- and sound-based disciplines. Chapters explore the history and the future of moving-image media across a range of formats including blockbuster films, video games, music videos, social media, digital visualization technologies, experimental film, documentaries, video art, pornography, immersive theater, and electronic music. Sound, music, and noise emerge within these studies as integral forces within shifting networks of representation. http://www.amazon.com/Oxford-Handbook-Sound-Digital-Handbooks/dp/019975764X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387074958&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Oxford+Handbook+of+Sound+and+Image+in+Digital+Media +++ The Oxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aesthetics offers new ways to read the audiovisual. In the media landscapes of today, conglomerates jockey for primacy and the internet increasingly places media in the hands of individuals-producing the range of phenomena from movie blockbuster to YouTube aesthetics. Media forms and genres are proliferating and interpenetrating, from movies, music and other entertainments streaming on computers and iPods to video games and wireless phones. The audiovisual environment of everyday life, too-from street to stadium to classroom-would at times be hardly recognizable to the mid-twentieth-century subject. The Oxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aesthetics provides powerful ways to understand these changes. http://www.amazon.com/Oxford-Handbook-Audiovisual-Aesthetics-Handbooks/dp/0199733864/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1387075054&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=The+Oxford+Handbook+of+New+Audiovisual+Aesthetics About the Editors: Claudia Gorbman is Professor of Film Studies at the University of Washington - Tacoma, author of Unheard Melodies: Narrative Film Music (1987), and the translator of five books including four by Michel Chion.
