The preoccupation with “depth” and its relevance to cinema and media studies

For decades the concept of depth has been central to critical thinking 
in numerous humanities-based disciplines, legitimizing certain modes of 
inquiry over others. /Deep Mediations/examines why and how this is, as 
scholars today navigate the legacy of depth models of thought and 
vision, particularly in light of the “surface turn” and as these models 
impinge on the realms of cinema and media studies.

The collection’s eighteen essays seek to understand the decisive but 
evolving fixation on depth by considering the term’s use across a range 
of conversations as well as its status in relation to critical 
methodologies and the current mediascape. Engaging contemporary debates 
about new computing technologies, the environment, history, identity, 
affect, audio/visual culture, and the limits and politics of human 
perception, /Deep Mediation/s is a timely interrogation of depth’s 
ongoing importance within the humanities.
