Animation – Process, Cognition And Actuality

Animation - Process, Cognition and Actuality presents a uniquely philosophical and multidisciplinary approach to the scholarly study of animation, using principles of process philosophy and Deleuzian film aesthetics to explore animation practices from early optical devices to contemporary urban design and installations. The book introduces original theories such as a process-philosophy based theory of animation, a cognitive theory, and approaches to animated documentaries and hybrid forms of animation, examining numerous examples including films, TV shows, and video games. It is divided into three sections discussing process, cognition, and real-world context, offering fresh insights into the definitions and dynamics of animation.
