Drawing from a wide variety of case studies and methodological perspectives, the book's contributors find many signs of the film critic's declining clout, but they also locate surprising examples of how critics--whether moonlighting bloggers or salaried writers--have been able to intervene in current popular discourse about arts and culture. \u003cbr\u003e In addition to collecting a plethora of scholarly perspectives, \u003ci\u003eFilm Criticism in the Digital Age\u003c\/i\u003e includes statements from key bloggers and print critics, like Armond White and Nick James. Neither an uncritical celebration of digital culture nor a jeremiad against it, this anthology offers a comprehensive look at the challenges and possibilities that the Internet brings to the evaluation, promotion, and explanation of artistic works. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46495887130775,"sku":"9780813570723","price":3285.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780813570723.webp?v=1769186882","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/film-criticism-in-the-digital-age-9780813570723","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
