Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the impact of cinema's scalar operations, the book delves into how techniques like the close-up alter viewers' perceptions of space and orientation. Doane traces the evolution from early cinema's unsettling close-ups to today's immersive technologies like IMAX. She argues that the contemporary experience of immersion reflects a crisis in spatial awareness, reshaping notions of position and distance. Ultimately, the work examines how cinematic scale influences modern identity within a context of commodification and technological mediation.
