{"product_id":"9781474463720","title":"The Squid Cinema from Hell","description":"Here be Kraken! \u003ci\u003eThe Squid Cinema From Hell\u003c\/i\u003e draws upon writers like Vil�m Flusser, Donna J. Haraway, Graham Harman and Eugene Thacker to offer up a critical analysis of cephalopods and other tentacular creatures in contemporary media, while also speculating that digital media might themselves constitute a weird, intelligent alien. If this were not enough to shiver ye timbers, the book engages with contemporary discourses of posthumanism, speculative realism, object-oriented ontology and animal studies to suggest that humans are the products of media rather than media being the products of humans. Including case studies of films by Denis Villeneuve, Park Chan-wook and C�line Sciamma, \u003ci\u003eThe Squid Cinema From Hell\u003c\/i\u003e also provides a daring engagement with various media beyond cinema, including literature, music videos, 4DX, advertising, websites, YouTube, Artificial Intelligence and more. Zounds! This unique and Lovecraftian book will change the way you think about, and with, our contemporary, media-saturated world. For as we contemplate the abyss, the abyss looks back at us - and chthulumedia, or media at the end of human times, begin to emerge.","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59619599515980,"sku":"9781474463720","price":91.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/4163\/2076\/files\/9781474463720-870a9127172e45fe_front.webp?v=1793268717","url":"https:\/\/foxandfable.com\/products\/9781474463720","provider":"Fox \u0026 Fable","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
