Publisher Description: In extending the traditional field of Word and Music Studies to include research on film and other forms of moving visualizations, this volume focuses on innovative discussions of artistic works showing relationships between three individual communicative media. This trifocal, interdisciplinary perspective is reflected in seventeen essays that cover the historical space from the 19th to the 21st centuries and discuss a wide variety of individual genres in the represented media. These range from Parisian cabaret to 'revolutionary' Peking opera, from silent film to Holocaust narration, from documentary propaganda movies to opera film interludes, and more. The investigation of historical cases is broadened by reflections on theoretical and functional issues, primarily in film music, which show a remarkable breadth of technical and perceptual varieties. The essays here collected are of relevance to scholars and students of film studies, musicology, and literature, as well as readers generally interested in Intermediality Studies. |
