520 "A technological revolution has changed the way we see
things. The storytelling media employed by Pixar Animation
Studios, Samuel Beckett, and William Shakespeare differ
greatly, yet these creators share a collective fascination
with the nebulous boundary between material objects and
our imaginative selves. How do the acts of seeing and
believing remain linked? Alan Ackerman charts the dynamic
history of interactions between showing and knowing in
Seeing Things, a richly interdisciplinary study which
illuminates changing modes of perception and modern
representational media. Seeing Things demonstrates that
the airy nothings of A Midsummer Night's Dream, the Ghost
in Hamlet, and soulless bodies in Beckett's media
experiments, alongside Toy Story's digitally animated toys,
all serve to illustrate the modern problem of visualizing,
as Hamlet put it, 'that within which passes show.'
Ackerman carefully analyses such ghostly appearances and
disappearances across cultural forms and contexts from the
early modern period to the present, investigating the
tension between our distrust of shadows and our abiding
desire to believe in invisible realities. Seeing Things
provides a fresh and surprising cultural history through
theatrical, verbal, pictorial, and cinematic
representations."--Pub. desc.
