Description
?This book examines the role of memory in animation, as well as the ways in which the medium of animation can function as a technology of remembering and forgetting.
By doing so, it establishes a platform for the cross-fertilization between the burgeoning fields of animation studies and memory studies.
By analyzing a wide range of different animation types, from stop motion to computer animation, and from cell animated cartoons to painted animation, this book explores the ways in which animation can function as a representational medium.
The five parts of the book discuss the interrelation of animation and memory through the lens of materiality, corporeality, animation techniques, the city, and animated documentaries.
These discussions raise a number of questions: how do animation films bring forth personal and collective pasts?
What is the role of found footage, objects, and sound in the material and affective dimensions of animation?
How does animation serve political ends? The essays in this volume offer answers to these questions through a wide variety of case studies and contexts.
The book will appeal to both a broad academic and a more general readership with an interest in animation studies, memory studies, cultural studies, comparative visual arts, and media studies.
