Description: "Visual Authorship is a collection of essays that provides a new approach to the study of authorship. The essays show how personal creativity is central, even in today's multifaceted media landscape. The role of individual creativity and authorship is discussed in relation to film, television, computer games, and internet media. Theories of cognition and emotion provide new tools for understanding visual aesthetics; they explain why artworks are created by individuals, not by discourses or ideologies; and they suggest that traditional tools like biography may be used to gain insight in visual aesthetics and stylistic change."--BOOK JACKET.
