from the Introduction
As in Eisenstein on the Audiovisual, this book's structure follows Eisenstein's idea of the 'spherical book'. This approach actively encourages the reader to be creative, to be free to make all kinds of connections, like mental hyperlinks, between various parts of the book. For example, a link can be made between why Pasolini and a very different film director, Busby Berkeley, decided to use only one camera when they shot their films, and the statement that 'we need analogies as anchors in the chaos of vast numbers of choices' in the text 'Thinking about Digital Thinking'. What is attractive about Eisenstein's idea of the 'spherical book' is that readers will make connections never dreamed of by the author. |
