Reviews

"Doug Rosenberg's genealogy of dance on screens masterfully elucidates the critical issues of this emerging field. A must-read for practitioners and theorists alike."--
Ann Cooper Albright, author of Choreographing Difference, Traces of Light, and Modern Gestures
"What happens to awkward, lumpy bodies in the process of mediation and what is the physicality of the mediating technology? This book is a window to the complexities of discourses in Screendance and topics such as the mediated body, screen as site and originality in the age of reproduction which will be key to 21st century culture."--Claudia Kappenberg, International Journal of Screendance, University of Brighton UK
"Screendance: Inscribing the Ephemeral Image by Douglas Rosenberg performs the salutary task of introducing to one another a number of domains of discourse that ought to know about each other. Screendance is placed in the context of advanced artmaking, filmmaking, cultural theory, and performance studies while Rosenberg simultaneously suggests the reciprocal significance of screendance to those practices. This is a generous book that opens up the
horizons of the conversation of screendance and much else."--Noel Carroll, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, The Graduate Center, The City University of New York
"Rosenberg is an intelligent, perceptive, often lucid and engaging writer...Screendance has assumed a secure place in the university curriculum, a result that Rosenberg helped bring about and the territory that he knows best." --Dance Current
"A richly researched and considered book... An outstanding contribution to theorizing the form." --International Journal of Screendance
