Matters of Gravity Special Effects and Supermen in the 20th Century

"Matters of Gravityis more than a collection of tour de force essays, although it is certainly that. It maps an important theoretical and critical project, reclaiming the 'lively arts' and exploring the kinetic and affective dimensions of popular culture. Scott Bukatman's breathless prose and conceptual pyrotechnics embody popular culture's dynamism, making us feel it, making us want to dance it. His writing crackles with wit, sparkles with vividness, and throbs with his own passionate engagement with his topic."-Henry Jenkins, coeditor ofHop on Pop: The Politics and Pleasures of Popular CultureBukatman, Scott is the author of 'Matters of Gravity Special Effects and Supermen in the 20th Century' with ISBN 9780822331193 and ISBN 0822331195.
