Reviews

"In this ambitious and wide-ranging study, Aldama and Lindenberger put under the lamp a vast array of material from music, film, painting, and other arts to show us that only work that rearranges our perceptions of reality, that questions the many assumptions we operate under, and challenges us to view things in an entirely different fashion--in short, to directly question what we think we know--has anything real to teach us. An essential read."
-- Wheeler Winston Dixon, University of Nebraska, and author of A History of Horror and Black White Cinema: A Short History

"Lindenberger and Aldama treat their readers to fresh perspectives on familiar, if disquieting, places."
-- Kay Bea Jones, The Ohio State University
