Does acting matter? David Thomson, one of our most respected and insightful writers on movies and theater, answers this question with intelligence and wit. In this fresh and thought-provoking essay, Thomson tackles this most elusive of subjects, examining the allure of the performing arts for both the artist and the audience member while addressing the paradoxes inherent in acting itself. He reflects on the casting process, on stage versus film acting, and on the cult of celebrity. The art and considerable craft of such gifted artists as Meryl Streep, Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando, Daniel Day-Lewis, and others are scrupulously appraised here, as are notions of "good" and "bad" acting. Thomson's exploration is at once a meditation on and a celebration of a unique and much beloved, often misunderstood, and occasionally derided art form. He argues that acting not only "matters" but is essential and inescapable, as well as dangerous, chronic, transformative, and exhilarating, be it on the theatrical stage, on the movie screen, or as part of our everyday lives.

Die Beiträge dieses Buchs sind einem Phänomen auf der Spur, das widersprüchlich anmutet: Wir, Computernutzerinnen und User, sind im digitalen Raum in alle Ewigkeit wiederzufinden. Man will einerseits wahrnehmbar, andererseits doch nicht gleich wiedererkennbar sein, sich nicht an eine unüberschaubare Öffentlichkeit ausliefern, gar das Gesicht verlieren. Das Buch dokumentiert künstlerische und andere Strategien, die Möglichkeiten aufzeigen, im unendlichen Buch der Gesichter zu erscheinen und sich dabei doch jeglicher Erfassung zu entziehen. Der Wunsch, kein bloßes Objekt des facialen Ausverkaufs zu werden, bleibt dabei nicht bloß ein ästhetisches Unterfangen. Die Beiträge formulieren auch kämpferische wie ironische Ansagen gegen eine digitale Dynamik, die unseren Alltag längst erreicht hat. The contributions to this book explore a phenomenon that appears to be a contradiction in itself - we, the users of computers, can be tracked in digital space for all eternity. Although, on the one hand, one wants to be noticed and noticeable, on the other hand one does not necessarily want to be recognized at the first instance, being prey to an unfathomable public, or - even less so - to lose face. The book documents artistic and other strategies that point out options for appearing in the infinite book of faces whilst nevertheless avoiding being included in any records. The desire not to become a mere object of facial sell-out does not just remain an aesthetic endeavor. The contributions also contain combative and sarcastic statements against a digital dynamic that has already penetrated our everyday lives.

The advent of new screening practices and viewing habits in the twenty-first century has spurred a public debate over what it means to be a “cinephile.” In Anxious Cinephilia, Sarah Keller places these competing visions in historical and theoretical perspective, tracing how the love of movies intertwines with anxieties over the content and impermanence of cinematic images.Keller reframes the history of cinephilia from the earliest days of film through the French New Wave and into the streaming era, arguing that love and fear have shaped the cinematic experience from its earliest days. This anxious love for the cinema marks both institutional practices and personal experiences, from the curation of the moviegoing experience to the creation of community and identity through film festivals to posting on social media. Through a detailed analysis of films and film history, Keller examines how changes in cinema practice and spectatorship create anxiety even as they inspire nostalgia. Anxious Cinephilia offers a new theoretical approach to the relationship between spectator and cinema and reimagines the concept of cinephilia to embrace its diverse forms and its uncertain future.
