When watching the latest installment of Batman, it is perfectly normal to say that we see Batman fighting Bane or that we see Bruce Wayne making love to Miranda Tate. We hardly say that we see Christian Bale dressed up as Batman going through the motions of punching Tom Hardy dressed up us Bane. Nor do we say that we see Christian Bale pretending to be Bruce Wayne simulating intercourse with Marion Cotillard who is playacting to be Miranda Tate. But if we look at the history of cinema and consider the contemporary reviews from around 1900, we will see that people said precisely what we nowadays would raise our eyebrows at. They spoke of film as no more than documentational recordings of actors performing on set. By innovatively combining philosophical aesthetics and new cinema history, this book investigates how our default imaginative engagement with film changed over the first two decades of cinema. It elucidates not only the importance of imagination for the understanding of early cinema but also contributes to our understanding of what it means for a representational medium to produce fictions. Specifically, it argues that cinema provides a better model for understanding fiction than literature.

Miranda har lenge ønsket å finne magiske krystaller og bli fe, og endelig er målet i sikte. Men så tårner vanskelighetene seg opp, og hun må kjempe mot fiender som både vil hindre henne i å nå målet sitt, og samtidig bruke henne som et våpen mot feene. Den tiltrekkende og farlige prins Iriel dukker opp igjen, og denne gangen har han med seg en hamskifter, den vakre Morgana. Hun er utstøtt av feene, og nå vil hun hevne seg. Tiden renner ut for feene, og Miranda sloss mot Morgana for å redde dem. Men kampen mellom Miranda og Morgana blir også personlig. Krystallfjellet er den sjuende boken om Miranda, trollmannens datter. InkaLill (Ingalill Røsberg, f. 1957) er billedkunstner og har skrevet og tegnet en rekke tegneseriealbum og -striper. I 2004 vant hun igjen Kultur- og kirkedepartementets tegneseriepris for barne- og ungdomslitteratur, for første bok i Miranda-serien: Fargenes mester.
