Foreword / Janeann Dill -- Introduction / Miriam Harris, Lilly Husbands and Paul Taberham -- Definitions, Histories and Legacies.

Materiality, Experimental Process and Animated Identity / Dan and Lienors Torre -- 'Meticulously, Recklessly, Worked Upon': Direct Animation, the Auratic and the Index / Tess Takahashi -- Digital experimentation: Extending animation's expressive vocabulary / Miriam Harris -- Beyond a Digital Écriture Féminine: Cyberfeminism and Experimental Computer Animation / Birgitta Hosea -- Interviews B: Jodie Mack -- Maya Yonesho -- Larry Cuba -- Max Hattler -- Close Analysis of Individual Artists. A Hermeneutic of Polyvalence: Deciphering Narrative in Lewis Klahr's The Pettifogger / Lilly Husbands -- How to be Human: The Animations of Jim Trainor / Steve Reinke -- Interviews C: Martha Colburn -- Masha Krasnova-Shabaeva -- Diego Akel -- Science and the Cosmos. Animating the Cosmological Horizon: Between Art and Science / Janine Randerson -- Where do Shapes Come From? / Aylish Wood -- NASA's Voyager Fly-by Animations / Sean Cubitt -- Interviews D: Tianran Duan -- David Theobald -- Gregory Bennett.
Summary: Experimental Animation: From Analogue to Digital, focuses on both experimental animation’s deep roots in the twentieth century, and its current position in the twenty-first century media landscape. Each chapter incorporates a variety of theoretical lenses, including historical, materialist, phenomenological and scientific perspectives. Acknowledging that process is a fundamental operation underlining experimental practice, the book includes not only chapters by international academics, but also interviews with well-known experimental animation practitioners such as William Kentridge, Jodie Mack, Larry Cuba, Martha Colburn and Max Hattler. These interviews document both their creative process and thoughts about experimental animation’s ontology to give readers insight into contemporary practice. Global in its scope, the book features and discusses lesser known practitioners and unique case studies, offering both undergraduate and graduate students a collection of valuable contributions to film and animation studies.
