Breaking new ground as the first transdisciplinary reader on video theory, Video Theories is a resource that will form the basis for further research and teaching. With video regarded as a ubiquitous medium, it's surprising that video theory as an academic discipline has not yet been established in comparison to the more canonized theories of photography, film, and television. This "video gap" in media theory is remarkable considering today's omnipresence of the medium through online video portals (such as Youtube, Vimeo, Snapchat or Instagram). Video technologies address us in our everyday online tasks, and they have opened up and superseded text-based web browsers in many aspects.

Consisting of a selection of annotated source texts and chapter introductions written by the editors, this book takes into account fifty years of scholarly and artistic reflections on the topic, representing an intergenerational and international set of voices. This is also accompanied by a timeline to help contextualize and frame the techno-cultural developments of video since the analog days. Theorists and artists old and new, like Jacques Derrida, Marshall Mcluhan, Jean-Luc Godard and Paul Virilio, are joined together in this unique collection with almost half the work translated into English for the first time. This transdisciplinary reader offers a conceptual framework for diverging and contradictory viewpoints, following up the continuous transformations of what was / is / will be video.
