Focusing on the nontheatrical use of motion picture technology in Germany between the 1890s and World War I, he follows researchers, teachers, and intellectuals as they negotiated the fascinating, at times fraught relationship between technology, discipline, and expert vision. As these specialists struggled to come to terms with motion pictures, they advanced new ideas of mass spectatorship that continue to affect the way we make and experience film. Staging a brilliant collision between the moving image and scientific or medical observation, visual instruction, and aesthetic contemplation, The Shape of Spectatorship showcases early cinema's revolutionary impact on society and culture and the challenges the new medium placed on ways of seeing and learning. 410 0$aFilm and culture. 606 $aMotion pictures$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion picture audiences$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion pictures$xAesthetics 606 $aMotion pictures in science$zGermany 606 $aDocumentary films$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 615 0$aMotion picture audiences$xHistory 615 0$aMotion pictures$xAesthetics. 615 0$aMotion pictures in science 615 0$aDocumentary films$xHistory 676 $a791.430943 700 $aCurtis$b Scott$01580212 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797585303321 996 $aThe shape of spectatorship$93860966 997 $aUNINA
