Scenes of reading are omnipresent throughout film history. This interdisciplinary study is the first to characterize the structures, functions, and interpretations of filmic stagings of sensuous and aesthetic acts of readings. In doing so, it does not simply close a gap in the research discourses of media studies and the sociology of reading, but also makes an original contribution to contemporary debates about aesthetic experience.
