Abstract
How has the digital turn shaped the practices of “doing film history” in both re-search and teaching? That is the main question of this book. While computational approaches have been used by film historians since the 1960s and 1970s, the arrival and use of digital tools and methods in recent decades has fundamentally changed the ways we search, analyze, interpret, present, and so think and write about film history. This is at the levels of both “close” and “distant”–or “scalable” – reading and viewing, and quantitative and qualitative methodologies, as well as those approaches in between. And it extends from digital film archival practices and data-driven search in both small and large film historical collections to the visualization and “distant viewing” of film historical materials, as well as their dissemination on digital platforms. This book addresses these fundamental issues for researching and teaching film history in the digital age.
