In Still Moving noted artists; filmmakers; art historians; and film scholars explore the boundary between cinema and photography. The interconnectedness of the two media has emerged as a critical concern for scholars in the field of cinema studies responding to new media technologies; and for those in the field of art history confronting the ubiquity of film; video; and the projected image in contemporary art practice. Engaging still; moving; and ambiguous images from a wide range of geographical spaces and historical moments; the contributors to this volume address issues of indexicality; medium specificity; and hybridity as they examine how cinema and photography have developed and defined themselves through and against one another.Foregrounding the productive tension between stasis and motion; two terms inherent to cinema and to photography; the contributors trace the shifting contours of the encounter between still and moving images across the realms of narrative and avant-garde film; photography; and installation art. Still Moving suggests that art historians and film scholars must rethink their disciplinary objects and boundaries; and that the question of medium specificity is a necessarily interdisciplinary question. From a variety of perspectives; the contributors take up that challenge; offering new ways to think about what contemporary visual practice is and what it will become.Contributors: George Baker; Rebecca Baron; Karen Beckman; Raymond Bellour; Zoe Beloff;Timothy Corrigan; Nancy Davenport; Atom Egoyan; Rita Gonzalez; Tom Gunning; Louis Kaplan;Jean Ma; Janet Sarbanes; Juan A.

Review
1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Wouldnt have bought if there had been a previewBy jakeGood choice of songs but Im dissatisfied with the way this was printed. First; there are no stems/flags to the tablature which makes it incredibly hard to read this is especially challenging given the next issue. Note the before after pictures of "Under the Sea" where I wrote in the stems and highlighted the melody because I couldnt read it. Second; the songs are overly embellished. The embellishments without the note stems make it hard to pick out for a less advanced player. Im no beginner but this was over my head. I got this because Disney songs are familiar and I thought it would have simpler melodies that would help build my ear. Instead; the chords are probably true to the movie (ex: "Be Our Guest" has 23 different chords) but the tricky chords; in addition to the extra notes mentioned above; make this book very difficult to follow.
