Looking at the responses of writers, scholars, clergymen, psychologists, philosophers, members of parliament, and more, the pieces collected here from that period show how Italians developed a common language to describe and discuss this invention that quickly exceeded all expectations and transcended existing categories of thought and artistic forms. The result is a close-up picture of a culture in transition, dealing with a "scandalous" new technology that appeared poised to thoroughly change everyday life.Film theory in media history.Motion pictures and the artsItalyMotion picturesSocial aspectsItalyMotion picturesItalyAestheticsMotion picturesItalyPhilosophyMotion picturesItalyHistoryItalyIntellectual life20th centuryElectronic books. early film theories, social impact of cinema, cinema and philosophy, cinema and psychology, cinema and war.Motion pictures and the artsMotion picturesSocial aspectsMotion picturesAesthetics.Motion picturesPhilosophy.Motion picturesHistory.791.430945Casetti Francescoauth144341Mazzei LucaAlovisio Silvio1968-Casetti FrancescoMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK996379044203316Early Film Theories in Italy, 1896-19224155505UNISA
