Books by James Leo Cahill

"This critical history examines the work of zoological and science film pioneers Jean Painlevae and Geneviaeve Hamon from 1924-1949, illuminating the significant contributions that their wildlife cinema made to philosophical and political thought"--

Drawing together contributions from leading international scholars, this book conceptualizes the history and theory of cinema's century-long relationship to modes of exploration in its many forms, from colonialist expeditions to decolonial radical cinemas to the perceptual voyage of the senses made possible by the cinematic apparatus.
