[ecrea] New book publication: Medieval Saints and Modern Screens

I’m delighted to announce the publication of my first book: /Medieval 
Saints and Modern Screens: Divine Visions as Cinematic Experience/, now 
available from Amsterdam University Press 
<http://en.aup.nl/books/9789462982277-medieval-saints-and-modern-screens.html> 
(AUP).

In /Medieval Saints and Modern Screens/, I bring theoretical 
perspectives from twenty-first-century media, film, and cultural studies 
to medieval hagiography. So doing, I stake the claim for a new 
methodological intervention: consideration of hagiography as cinematic 
media. Modern sources are drawn from a variety of pop-cultural media, 
including blockbuster movie /The Dark Knight/, Kim Kardashian West’s 
social media channels, and outputs of the immersive online environment 
Second Life. This material is placed in dialogue with the corpus of 
thirteenth-century Latin biographies of the “Holy Women of Liège”, and 
their visionary successors – in particular Margery Kempe.
