    摘要、提要註: Realism and the Audiovisual Media is a major and entirely original contribution to contemporary scholarship on realism. Once dismissed as representative of narrative closure and bourgeois ideology, realism has made a remarkable comeback in recent years as a predominant trend in world cinema and television productions, as well as a topical line of enquiry in audiovisual theory. This book provides the first organized and comprehensive assessment of these developments, making it an indispensable read for anyone interested in film and media studies. The question of realism permeates audiovisual media at all levels. Thanks to their photographic basis and unique combination of movement and time, they relate directly to and present a close resemblance with the phenomenological world. Even when resulting from animation or computer-generated images and sound, they can produce a 'reality effect' able to cause physical and emotional impact. Many film schools and movements, as well as genres such as the documentary, resort to realism as style, through which they aspire to reveal concealedor unknown dimensions of reality. This book undertakes an in-depth investigation of these phenomena, querying their origins, relations, divergences and intersections from a variety of perspectives, drawing on world-renowned expertise in audiovisual theory and practice. Subjects covered include new developments in realist scholarship; new realisms in world cinema; realist schools and genres; sensation, the body and real sex in cinema; cinematic scale and the real; the production of reality and the ethics of representation in film and television. A wide range of case studies survey past and current tendencies in Korean, Italian, German, Russian, Mexican, Brazilian, American, Taiwanese, French, Japanese and British film and television.
