Video Theories - A Transdisciplinary Reader.

Dieter Daniels and Jan Thoben (eds.), International texts in critical 
media aesthetics, Bloomsbury Academic 2022

Breaking new ground as the first transdisciplinary reader on video 
theories, the Video Theories Reader is a resource that will form the 
basis for further research and teaching. While theories of video have 
not yet formed an academic discipline comparable to the more canonized 
theories of photography, film, and television, the reader offers a major 
step toward bridging this “video gap” in media theory, which is 
remarkable considering today's omnipresence of the medium through online 
video portals and social media.

Consisting of a selection of eighty-three annotated source texts and 
twelve chapter introductions written by the editors, this book considers 
fifty years of scholarly and artistic reflections on the topic, 
representing an intergenerational and international set of voices. This 
transdisciplinary reader offers a conceptual framework for diverging and 
contradictory viewpoints, following the continuous transformations of 
what video was, is, and will be.
