Possibilities of Post-Cinema: Review of Discorrelated Images in Film International

There’s a new review of Discorrelated Images in Film International. Reviewer T. R. Merchant-Knudsen (who goes by @CriticTMK on Twitter) remarks that pandemic year 2020 was paradoxically the perfect year for the book to appear, as it aims to illuminate the unprecedented role of digital screens in the reorganization of our lives, and judges the book overall “a fantastic meditation on post-cinema that begs the reader to consider both the horrors and possibilities afforded with technological advancements.”

Check out the full review here, and pick up the book for 50% off during Duke University Press’s Spring Sale (now through May 7) with code SPRING21 if you order directly from the publisher. (Outside North and South America, you can use the same code at international distributor Combined Academic Publishers.)

Discorrelated Images in Duke University Press Fall 2020 Catalog (and about that cover image)

I am excited to see my book Discorrelated Images alongside so many truly impressive books in Duke University Press’s Fall 2020 catalog, which went online today. Take a look; there is so much good stuff in there!

And take a closer look at my book’s cover, below, which I am doubly excited about — first, because the press’s designer Drew Sisk did such a beautiful job on it, and second because it features a painting by my partner-in-crime/partner-in-life Karin Denson! (And if you know what you’re looking at, it also depicts our dog Evie — so there’s a third reason I’m super excited about it!)

Check out more of Karin’s work on her website at karindenson.com.

Vivian Sobchack on Discorrelated Images

As I mourn the cancellation (due to the novel coronavirus) of my SCMS panel with the great Vivian Sobchack, I discover her blurb for my book Discorrelated Images, which has just appeared next to Steven Shaviro’s on the Duke University Press website. I am deeply honored and grateful to read these words of praise from a theorist whose work and words have been formative for me.

Steven Shaviro’s Blurb for Discorrelated Images

The world is falling apart, but my book Discorrelated Images is still set to come out in October — and I just discovered that Steven Shaviro has blurbed it! Also, the Duke University Press webpage for the book lists an affordable $25.95 cover price for the paperback!
