Description:
Uncanny Histories in Film and Media probes the uncanny as a mode of historical analysis. Whether writing about film movements, individual works, or the legacies of major or forgotten critics and theorists, the contributors challenge our inherited narratives to reveal a disturbance of what was once familiar in the histories of our field.
Review Quotes: "With consummate mastery, Petro has collected provocative and inspirational contributions to a range of subfields in media studies--colonialism and its aftermath, game studies, race and representation, transnationalism, global markets, and the trajectory of feminism."--Mary Ann Doane "author of The Emergence of Cinematic Time: Modernity, Contingency, the Archive"
