Summary:

In response to the significant increase of judgment and judgmentalism in contemporary film and television, A Critique of judgment in Film and Television investigates the evolving connections between the aesthetics and ethics of judgment. The volume ultimately contemplates whether we should, and can, do without judgment, questions that are just the beginning of a much-needed re-examination. The individual contributions of the collection all work towards a very specific focus on judgment that is unprecedented in its transdisciplinary composition and contemporary relevance. By exploring examples of entertainment that aim to instigate judgment, A Critique of judgment in Film and Television advances the as yet underdeveloped area of research into television and philosophy.
