Discorrelated Images
«“Addressing some of the most important issues faced by film and media scholars today, Shane Denson gives a surprising and highly cogent account of the changes that make for our current experience of ‘postcinematic’ audiovisual media. He powerfully shows how broad socio-technological forces work in the realm of visual media and suggests ways that such media can help us to grasp the scale and effects of those forces. An important book, Discorrelated Images offers major new contributions to film and media studies.”»

Steven Shaviro, author of, The Universe of Things: On Speculative Realism
"The true strength of Discorrelated Images lies in Denson’s ability to make such dramatic claims about the role of technology in reshaping human subjectivity without ever veering into crude techno-determinism, or media-effects style moral panic... [It] is highly recommended to any reader with an interest in contemporary social and media theory.”
Marcus Maloney, Thesis Eleven
«“For anyone concerned with digital media in particular and media theory in general, Discorrelated Images is essential reading.”»
Christian de Mouilpied Sancto, Film-Philosophy
«“Theoretically brilliant in its phenomenological conceptualization of discorrelation, Shane Denson's book reveals the perceptual and aesthetic discontinuities and continuities between film-based and digitally rendered cinema. Most significantly, Denson argues that understanding the effects of discorrelation and its expansion of our ways of seeing and being may provoke greater awareness of our existential precarity. A groundbreaking work.”»
