The Oxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aesthetics

This volume 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 Oxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aesthetics' provides powerful ways to understand these changes.
