> "This archive of the evolution of a crucial and influential 
> theoretical concept in film studies is indispensable. Taken together, 
> these essays, written by some of the most provocative and highly 
> esteemed scholars in film and media studies, reveal the extraordinary 
> historical and theoretical productivity of the notion of 
> ‘attractions.’ Ranging from articles associated with the earliest--and 
> widely recognized as brilliant--articulations of the concept by Tom 
> Gunning and André Gaudreault to attempts to flesh out the implications 
> of ‘attractions’ for our understanding of the avant-garde, digital 
> media, VR, and computer games, this anthology is both an intellectual 
> feast and a very precise record of a critical trajectory in recent 
> film studies." -- Mary Ann Doane, Brown University
