Description: "This work explores theoretical and philosophical issues brought to bear in Avatar, exploring spaces between human and machine; technology and nature; chick flick and action-adventure; and old-fashioned storytelling and cutting-edge technology. Central to its analysis is an examination of the extent to which Avatar melds the seer and the seen, illuminating an alternative visual paradigm"--Provided by publisher.
