[ecrea] New publication Body Images in the Post-Cinematic Scenario. The Digitization of Bodies

New publication available from Mimesis International as part of the book 
series Post-cinema & Digital Cultures

BODY IMAGES IN THE POST-CINEMATIC SCENARIO. THE DIGITIZATION OF BODIES
Edited by Alberto Brodesco and Federico Giordano

What is the status of body in the realm of digital media? This volume 
studies how our perception of body has been modified by new media 
(videogames, transmedia platforms, ARGs), new narratives 
(science-fictions, TV series) and new devices (wearable technologies, 
Virtual Reality, cosmetic surgery). Which body images and identities do 
emerge? Within the ‘Post-Cinematic’ or ‘Post-Media’ condition, the body 
becomes a changeable, flexible ‘unstable object’. The first part of this 
book analyses the presence of body in television/film productions and in 
social media (changes, aesthetics, new spaces); the second part focuses 
on the relationship between the digital media and the viewer/user, 
showing how his/her body is subject to shape modification.
