Intellect is delighted to announce the publication of />From Méliès to 
New Media: Spectral Projections 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/from-melies-to-new-media> /by Wendy Haslem.

/From Méliès to New Media/ contributes to a dynamic stream of film 
history that is just beginning to understand that new media forms are 
not only indebted to but firmly embedded within the traditions and 
conventions of early film culture. Adopting a media archaeology, this 
book will present a comparative examination of cinema including early 
film experiments with light and contemporary music videos, silent film 
and their digital restorations, German Expressionist film and post-noir 
cinema, French Gothic film and the contemporary digital remake, Alfred 
Hitchcock’s films exhibited in the gallery, post medium films as 
abstracted light forms and interactive digital screens revising 
experiments in precinema. Media archaeology is an approach that uncovers 
the potential of intermedial research as a fluid form of history. It 
envisages the potential of new discoveries that foreground forgotten or 
marginalised contributions to history. It is also an approach that has 
been championed by influential new historicists like Thomas Elsaesser as 
providing the most vibrant and productive new histories (2014).
