  • Airless Spaces

    Price: $11.95

    Refusing a career as a professional feminist, Shulamith Firestone found herself in an “airless space” approximately since the publication of her first book, The Dialectic of Sex. Airless Spaces is a collection of very short tales about losers in and mostly out of mental hospitals and the small crises that trigger their awareness that they are in trouble. Her characters are the subjects of an increasingly bureaucratized poverty, inhabiting the disappeared and darkened sectors of New York City.

  • Language of New Media

    Price: $19.95

    In this book Lev Manovich offers the first systematic and rigorous theory of new media. He places new media within the histories of visual and media cultures of the last few centuries. He discusses new media’s reliance on conventions of old media, such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera, and shows how new media works create the illusion of reality, address the viewer, and represent space. He also analyzes categories and forms unique to new media, such as interface and database. Manovich uses concepts from film theory, art history, literary theory, and computer science and also develops new theoretical constructs, such as cultural interface, spatial montage, and cinegratography. The theory and history of cinema play a particularly important role in the book. Among other topics, Manovich discusses parallels between the histories of cinema and of new media, digital cinema, screen and montage in cinema and in new media, and historical ties between avant-garde film and new media.
