Abstract

This chapter encapsulates the various approaches that make up the ethical turn in film, media, and visual culture studies and presents a possible narrative of the evolution of this research. A key assumption is that a theoretical shift is occurring in which ethics is attributed not only to a given work’s perceived content but, more importantly, to its formal features.
