This book series explores animation and conceptual/theoretical issues in
an approachable way. The focus is twofold: on core concepts, theories and
debates in animation that have yet to be dealt with in book-length format;
and on new and innovative research and interdisciplinary work relating to
animation as a field. The purpose of the series is to consolidate animation
research and provide the ‘go to’ monographs and anthologies for current
and future scholars.
