Corporeality in Early Cinema inspires a heightened awareness of the ways 
in which early film culture, and screen praxes overall are inherently 
embodied. Contributors argue that on- and offscreen (and in affiliated 
media and technological constellations), the body consists of flesh and 
nerves and is not just an abstract spectator or statistical audience entity.

Audience responses from arousal to disgust, from identification to 
detachment, offer us a means to understand what spectators have 
always taken away from their cinematic experience. Through theoretical 
approaches and case studies, scholars offer a variety of models for 
stimulating historical research on corporeality and cinema by exploring 
the matrix of screened bodies, machine-made scaffolding, and their 
connections to the physical bodies in front of the screen.

Marina Dahlquist is Associate Professor of Cinema Studies at Stockholm 
University. She is editor of Exporting Perilous Pauline: Pearl White and 
the Serial Film Craze.

Doron Galili is Research Fellow in the Department of Media Studies at 
Stockholm University.

Jan Olsson is Professor of Cinema Studies and former Head of Department 
at Stockholm University. He is author of Hitchcock à la Carte.

Valentine Robert is Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of 
Lausanne. She is editor (with Laurent Le Forestier and François Albera) 
of Le Film sur l'art. Entre histoire de l'art et documentaire de creation.
