Description de l'ouvrage:
This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of film in the context of the Anthropocene: the new geological era in which human beings have collectively become a force of nature. Daniel White draws on perspectives in philosophy, ecology, and cybernetics (the science of communication and control in animals and machines) to explore human self-understanding through film in the new era. The classical figure of Janus, looking both to the future and the past, serves as a guide throughout the study. Both feature and documentary films are considered.

À propos de l'auteur :
Daniel White is Professor Emeritus and founding faculty member of the Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic University.

Revue de Presse:
"Graduate students, scholars and professionals interested film and addressing problems posed by the rising Anthropocene might find this book useful in providing ways to think outside the box and expand thinking to be more inclusive." (Morgan Danker, CBQ Communication Booknotes Quarterly, Vol. 51 (3-4), 2020)
