Post-what? Post-when? Thinking Moving Images Beyond the Post-medium/Post-cinema Condition

If we live in a post-media and post-cinema condition, how much longer will it last, and how will it end? Picking up on the recent debate about post-media and post-cinema, this special issue of Cinéma & Cie. addressed the question of temporality and periodisation in media history and asks what exactly the 'post' in post-cinema means. Exploring new analytical and theoretical frameworks that account for the moving image in the multiplicity of its configurations, the contributions open up new avenues of research and provide a sense of what may lie beyond our current post-medium and post-cinema condition.
