What is a moving image; and how does it move us? In Thinking In Film; celebrated theorist Mieke Bal engages in an exploration - part dialogue; part voyage - with the video installations of Finnish artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila to understand movement as artistic practice and as affect. Through fifteen years of Ahtilas practice; including such seminal works as The Annunciation; Where Is Where? and The House; Bal searches for the places where theoretical and artistic practices intersect; to create radical spaces in which genuinely democratic acts are performed. Bringing together different understandings of figure from form to character; Bal examines the syntax of the exhibition and its ability to bring together installations; the work itself; the physical and ontological thresholds of the installation space and the use of narrative and genre. The double meaning of movement; in Bals unique thought; catalyses anunderstanding of video installation work as inherently plural; heterogenous and possessed of revolutionary political potential. The video image as an art form illuminates the question of what an image is; and the installation binds viewers to their own interactions with the space. In this context Bal argues that the intersection between movement and space creates an openness to difference and doubt. By thinking in art; we find ideas not illustrated by but actualized in artworks. Bal practices this theory in action to demonstrate how the video installation can move us to think beyond ordinary boundaries and venture into new spaces. There is no act more radical than figuring a vision of the other as film allows artto do. Thinking In Film is Mieke Bal ather incisive; innovative best as she opens up the miraculous political potential of the condensed art of the moving image.

I own the Spiral book of this volume in the "High Voice". I needed some of these tunes in the lower keys. However when I look at this "Low Voice" in kindle; the keys are all identical to the "High Voice" print version I have. I cant get a phone number for Hal Leonard to find out what the deal is.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. NOT actually in low voiceBy John R. MahoneyI should have read the reviews before I ordered the Kindle version of the Low Voice version of The Real Book. Its true - the tunes are NOT in a low key. Im going to try to get a refund and ask the Hal Leonard folks about it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. CONTENTS ARE CURRENTLY THE SAME AS THE HIGH VOICE VERSION.By BryanDO NOT BUY THIS KINDLE VERSION; ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE THE HIGH VOICE VERSION ALREADY!!!! The contents are actually the High Voice version. I think they made a publishing mistake. I have all the Volumes and this is the only volume where both high and low versions are in the same key. To compares that this isnt something the meant to do; look at the iTunes sample version and youll see that "About A Quarter to Nine" is in C in the high version and the low voice version is in Bb. However; in this low voice Kindle version; "About A Quarter to Nine" is in the key of C; which is same as the High Voice version.Please fix this or Hal Leonard!!!!
