520 _a"New Early Cinema History is a theoretical reconceptualization of early cinema. It showcases the latest methods and tools for analysis, and casts new light on the experience of early cinema through the application of these concepts and methods. Contributors to the collection address the periodization of the era, emphasizing the recent boon in the availability of primary materials, the rise of digital technologies, the developments in new cinema history, and the persistence of some conceptualizations as key incentives for rethinking early cinema in theoretical and methodological terms. Examples of early cinema in the US, the UK, France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Russia, India, Hong Kong and Singapore are evaluated by the contributors. The book is structured in three thematic sections. Part I -- Concepts - challenges the attraction-narrative dialectics paradigm, proposing instead to theorizing early cinema through concepts such as remediation, illustration, fiction, and imagination. In Part II -- Methods - cutting-edge approaches to the study of early cinema are highlighted, including the use of the Mediathread Platform, the formation of new datasets with the help of digital technologies, and exploring the early era in non-western cultures. Contributors to Part III -- Applications - revisit early cinema audiences and exhibition contexts by investigating some of the earliest screenings in Denmark and the US, exploring the details of black cinema going in Harlem, and examining exhibition practices in Germany."--
