New York’s Animation Culture Advertising, Art, Design and Film, 1939–1940 Kristian Moen

Palgrave Animation Series Editors Caroline Ruddell Brunel University London Uxbridge, UK Paul Ward Arts University Bournemouth Poole, UK

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.
