May 13, 2025/in Spring 2025, Book Reviews, Reviews

In the fall of 2008 Malte Hagener aptly summed up decades of Film (and Media) studies tradition, arguing that its agenda had progressively shifted from an ontological question (‘what is cinema?’) to an historical one (‘when is cinema?’), and finally landed on a matter of location (‘where is cinema?’). Seventeen years later, his interpretive proposal […]
