Beschreibungen/Notizen
Parsing an extensive array of primary sources, it demonstrates how popular, technical, and scientific discourses addressed the technological prospect of moving-image transmission—a prospect that preceded the term "television" and significantly exceeded the institutional formation around television broadcasting in the mid-twentieth century. [...]Galili reveals how early cinematic systems and films were enmeshed with the notion of television. The second part of the book offers three case studies that explore television's proximity to prominent cinematic institutions, practices, and ideas in the first decades of the twentieth century.
