- This book is the result of ten years research on the work of Giorgio Agamben, and the first sustained application of his ideas to the discipline of Film Studies. Agamben's writings on film/visual culture are scattered across his oeuvre of twenty-three books and numerous unedited works, requiring particular attention to terms rendered ambiguous in Italian-English translation. The primary objects of study were rare and in some cases uncatalogued artefacts of early British cinema held mainly in the National Media Museum, Bradford (Birtac camera-projector 1898, Lucien Bull's sparkdrum camera 1904, early x-rays and x-ray artworks), and the Muybridge Collections.
