Description

The first book-length exploration of time loops in contemporary screen media Vital discussion of enormously prevalent but under-studied concept Chapters explore time loops across a wide array of screen media (film, television, videogames, installation art, apps) Extends discussion of time loops beyond narrative and into areas of ethical responsibility, racial discrimination, ecological thinking, queer theory and more Productively considers both popular, well-known texts (eg Russian Doll) and less well-known examples from a range of wider contexts Time loops abound in recent screen media. From the torturous repeating birthdays of the TV series Russian Doll (2019–2022) and horror film Happy Death Day (2017), to the iterative runs of roguelike videogames like Returnal (2021), to the cyclical mediality of apps like TikTok, loops are used in a variety of ways by a variety of media in a variety of contexts. Why are loops appearing with such prominence now and what cultural concerns do they express? In this edited collection, a range of scholars take a critical look at many different forms and manifestations of the time loop, from television shows about therapy to films about oppression to videogames about morality to the loops of media formats themselves. Through this work, Unspool: Critical Time Loops in Screen Media shows the suppleness and significance of the time loop to our loopy times.
