Description

The Illusion of Life I was the world's first book of scholarly essays theorising animation. Part II continues and extends its pioneering work, providing an abundance of understandings, approaches, correctives and challenges to scholars not only in animation but in film studies and disciplines all across the media spectrum. It proceeds on the assumption that animation, in increasingly taking centre stage thanks to computer animation and anime, calls ever more insistently for focused, rigorous theoretical attention.
