This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched.Scanning historical and current trends in animation through different perspectives including art history, film, media and cultural studies is a prominent facet of today’s theoretical and historical approaches in this rapidly evolving field. Global Animation Theory offers detailed and diverse insights into the methodologies of contemporary animation studies, as well as the topics relevant for today’s study of animation. The contact between practical and theoretical approaches to animation at Animafest Scanner, is closely connected to host of this event, the World Festival of Animated Film Animafest Zagreb. It has given way to academic writing that is very open to practical aspects of animation, with several contributors being established not only as animation scholars, but also as artists. This anthology presents, alongside an introduction by the editors and a preface by well known animation scholar Giannalberto Bendazzi, 15 selected essays from the first three Animafest Scanner editions. They explore various significant aspects of animation studies, some of them still unknown to the English speaking communities.

Der Sammelband analysiert die grundsätzliche Bedeutung, die Animation in unserer medialisierten Welt einnimmt. Animation bewegt Bilder, Emotionen, die Kunst, die Industrie und wandelt auch die Forschung – sie stellt traditionelle Disziplinen und Theorien des (Audio-)Visuellen vor neue Herausforderungen. Die Aufsätze thematisieren signifikante Phänomene in Animationstheorie, -geschichte und -ästhetik wie etwa Hybridität, Bewegungsdarstellungen, Verbindungen von Ton und Bild, Motion Capture, bildgebende Verfahren der Medizin, experimentelle Architekturvisualisierungen oder Werbefilme für Game Engines.

Animation ist umfangreich, heterogen und allgegenwärtig. Ihre Bandbreite reicht von abstrakten Formexperimenten, über den Zeichentrick- und animierten Puppenfilm bis zu computergenerierten Oberflächen. Aus diesem Grund kann nicht von einer Animationsforschung im Sinne einer klar abgesteckten Disziplin gesprochen werden, sondern von einer Vielzahl an Theorien, Methoden und Forschungsfeldern. Das Handbuch führt in diese Felder ein und bietet einen Überblick über zentrale Bezugspunkte der interdisziplinären Animation Studies. Die Beiträge von 36 Autor_innen fassen bisherige relevante, historische, theoretische und analytische Erkenntnisse über Animation zusammen, machen aber auch Potenziale und Veränderungen durch die zunehmende Digitalisierung deutlich und geben Impulse für zukünftige Bereiche der Animationsforschung.

Dieser Band stellt das Spannungsfeld von Wirklichkeit und Animation in den Mittelpunkt und lotet aus, inwieweit dieses Verhältnis interdisziplinär begriffen und (medien)theoretisch erfasst werden kann. Wirklichkeit und Animation erscheinen im ersten Moment als Gegensatz: auf der einen Seite das Reale, Nicht-Mediale, Tatsächliche und Ursprüngliche und auf der anderen Seite das Fiktive, In-Bewegung-Gesetzte, Verwandelte und künstlich Gemachte. Doch gerade aus diesem vermeintlichen Kontrast ergibt sich ein produktives Spannungsfeld: So setzen auch ‚realistische‘ und dokumentarische Formen vielfach Animationen ein. Realfotografische und animierte Elemente verbinden sich in Online-Umgebungen und Augmented-Reality-Formaten zu Hybriden. Hinsichtlich virtueller Wirklichkeiten stellt sich außerdem die Frage, wie hyperrealistische Animationen und Effekte in der Postproduktion zu bewerten sind und ob die ausgestellte Künstlichkeit sichtbarer Animation nicht authentischer wirkt. Paralleldazu entwickeln sich die Animation Studies zu einem wachsenden interdisziplinären Forschungsfeld, dessen Stellenwert sich nicht nur im künstlerischen und medien-wissenschaftlichen Bereich, sondern auch in der industriellen Anwendung zeigt.
