A Doctoral Dissertation at University of Basrah Examines The Interactive Context of Cinema in Contemporary Visual Art

A doctoral dissertation at the College of Fine Arts, University of Basrah, examined “The Interactive Context of Cinema in Contemporary Visual Art.”

The dissertation, presented by researcher Iman Faris Salman, aimed to explore the concepts of context and interaction as two fundamental pillars of knowledge for interpreting literary texts and works of art.

The study examined the concepts of context and interactivity, both of which have emerged from the aesthetic and philosophical transformations that have shaped intellectual thought over the past centuries.

The dissertation concluded that, through the principle of interactivity, contemporary art has brought about a significant transformation in the reception of artworks, shifting the audience’s role from passive observation to active engagement.
