Puts a focus on the specific aesthetics emerging in the early sound period. 2. Looks at the transition from a global and transnational perspective. 3. Construes the period not merely as a transition to 'classical cinema’ but as a period of experimentation in its own right. This volume takes a fresh look at the various aesthetics emerging globally in the early sound film era, with a focus on the films’ fundamentally experimental and inventive character. By considering films and production contexts often neglected in film studies, it strives to counter the still dominant view of the transitional period as a time of yet-to-be-perfected forerunners of 'classical’ sound film. Instead, authors highlight the sense of 'fruitful uncertainty’ in this period of media change and transformation. Subjects covered include visual and auditory style; the uses of speech, music, and noises; aesthetic conceptions in sound film theory; and intermedial aesthetics. The volume’s scope is decidedly international, covering production and reception contexts in the Soviet Union, Japan, the USA, Germany, France, Italy, the UK, and Switzerland.
