<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>How cinema and video have transformed our perception of time</strong></p><p>The year 1895 saw two events, from which <i>Time Machine: Cinematic Temporalities</i> takes its bearings: the publication of H.G. Wells' "scientific romance" <i>The Time Machine: An Invention</i>, the first literary work in which movement through time is made possible by technology; and the first public presentation, on the evening of December 28, 1895, of the Lumière Brothers' Cinématographe. <p/>Based on these two moments, <i>Time Machine</i> shows how cinema, video and video installations have transformed our perception of time through techniques of slow motion and acceleration, loops and reversals, time-lapse and freeze-frame, multiple exposure and stop-motion animation, as well as through montage: that crucial act of separating and joining images and sounds which has often been considered as one of cinema's defining traits. <p/>The 11 texts in this volume shed new light on the aesthetic, epistemological, political and media-theoretical implications of cinematic time manipulation.</p>
