Beskrivning
The New Cinematic Weird argues that weird fiction is rising also in audiovisual culture. Presenting several detailed analyses of weird cinematic works, the book shows how the new cinematic weird is best understood as atmospheric worldings — affective intensities that suffuse the experience of the cinematic weird. The weird exists as an experiential field, an inflation of the world. These worldings disclose a variety of experiences. The book engagingly shows how creepy, unsettling, ominous, uneasy, and eerie atmospheres provide a way into the weird experience. This book is important to anyone interested in the audiovisual weird, cinematic atmospheres, how audiovisual media produce worlds, and how weird fiction challenges our conception of the way the world is.

Recensioner i media

Christiansen’s brilliant, engaging, and informative text makes a strong argument for cinematic weird’s classification as a genre, albeit underneath the umbrella of fantasy and somewhere between horror and science fiction—what Christiansen refers to as an "interzone." He clarifies what makes weird cinema weird, pointing to the defining elements—atmosphere, narration, and worlding—that combine to create eerie, uncanny cinematic spaces where anything can and does happen. Through an in-depth analysis of film, television, and music videos, the author demonstrates the extent and influence of new cinematic weird on today’s media market…. A must-read for those unfamiliar with new cinematic weird or for those wishing to expand their understanding of it, Christiansen’s text supplies a concise overview with well-chosen examples that help contextualize the techniques used to create the disquieting narrative constructs of these unique, uncanny cinematic landscapes. Recommended. All readers.
