Taylor & Francis Ltd Gothic Cinema

15 in stock

Book SynopsisArguing for the need to understand Gothic cinema as an aesthetic mode, this book explores its long history, from its transitional origins in phantasmagoria shows and the first trick' films to its postmodern fragmentation in the Gothic pastiches of Tim Burton.But what is Gothic cinema? Is the iconography of the Gothic film equivalent to that of the horror genre? Are the literary origins of the Gothic what solidified its aesthetics? And exactly what cultural roles does the Gothic continue to perform for us today? Gothic Cinema covers topics such as the chiaroscuro experiments of early German cinema, the monster cinema of the 1930s, the explained supernatural of the old dark house mystery films of the 1920s and the Female Gothics of the 1940s, the use of vibrant colours in the period Gothics of the late 1950s, the European exploitation booms of the 1960s and 1970s, and the animated films and Gothic superheroes that dominate present times. Throughout,Trade Review‘This highly welcome and comprehensive study of Gothic cinema is marked by subtle generic distinctions, a superbly long historical range and a focus that moves widely and ably among different national cinemas. Aldana Reyes writes with style and verve, and establishes a proper scholarly framework for the study of Gothic cinema in all its variety as an aesthetic mode.’Professor David Punter, Senior Research Fellow, University of Bristol'Aldana Reyes offers an insightful and much-needed excavation of the dark history of the Gothic on film. Rigorously researched, engagingly written and providing new perspectives and understanding, this is a must-read for film and Gothic scholars alike.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Cinematic Political

15 in stock

Book SynopsisIn this book, Michael J. Shapiro stages a series of pedagogical encounters between political theory, represented as a compositional challenge, and cinematic texts, emphasizing how to achieve an effective research paper/essay by heeding the compositional strategies of films. The text's distinctiveness is its focus on the intermediation between two textual genres. It is aimed at providing both a conceptual introduction to the politics of aesthetics and a guide to writing strategies. In its illustrations of encounters between political theory and cinema, the book's critical edge is its emphasis on how to intervene in cinematic texts with innovative conceptual frames in ways that challenge dominant understandings of life worlds. The Cinematic Political is designed as a teaching resource that introduces students to the relationship between film form and political thinking. With diverse illustrative investigations, the book instructs students on how to watch films with an eyTrade Review"The book is an excellent continuum of Shapiro’s path breaking work on the relationship between political theory and film from his pivotal works, Cinematic Political Thought and Cinematic Geopolitics. Conceptually and methodologically this book is deepening and enhancing his approach of cinematic thinking in terms of advising the reader on, as he says, the ‘how to’ of relating political theory with cinema as epitomized in his cinematic writing style that problematizes the way we think about and view films." — Ian Fraser, Senior Lecturer in Politics, Loughborough University, UK "Thanks to digital social media, we are all movie-makers now with global audiences. In this book, Michael J. Shapiro links the grammar of moving images to theorizing about politics in an authoritative and accessible way." — Terrell Carver, Professor of Political Theory, University of Bristol, UK"This superb new book insightfully reimagines cinema as a vehicle for 'doing critically oriented political theory.' Much as Hayden White famously helped us to understand how the story of history is narrated (when written or when filmed), here Shapiro brilliantly illuminates how films can compose political theory. In this masterful, mature work, drawing on all his experience, his remarkable intellectual prowess fully in evidence, Shapiro gives political theory a vibrant cinematic dimension. The diverse examples provide accessible entrances for all readers—from Adam Smith to Deleuze and Guattari, from Bertolucci’s The Conformist to The Cats of Mirikitani, Sleep Dealer and Miss Bala via Hoop Dreams. Most pertinently, the work’s exploration of fascism has a stark relevance, if not warning, for our time." — Professor David Martin-Jones, Film and Television Studies, University of Glasgow, UKTable of Contents1 Extracting Political Theory From Lars von Trier: Conceptual Interferences With His The Element of Crime 2 Toward a Critical Assessment of "Now-Time": Contrasting Hoop Dreams With Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon 3 Resituating Hiroshima 4 "The Light of Reason" 5 "Borderline Justice" 6 A Bi-City Cinematic Experience 7 The Phenomenology of the Cinema Experience Afterword: The Phenomenology of Watching and Writing

Taylor & Francis Ltd Jacques Lacan and Cinema: Imaginary, Gaze,

15 in stock

Book SynopsisPsychoanalysis has always been based on the eclipse of the visual and on the primacy of speech. The work of Jacques Lacan though, is strangely full of references to the visual field, from the intervention on the mirror stage in the Forties to the elaboration of the object-gaze in the Sixties.As a consequence, a long tradition of film studies used Lacanian psychoanalysis in order to explain the influence of the subject of the unconscious on the cinematographic experience. What is less known is how the late Lacanian reflection on the topic of analytic formalization opened up a further dimension of the visual that goes beyond the subjective experience of vision: not in the direction of a mystical ineffable but rather toward a subtractive mathematisation of space, as in non-Euclidean geometries.In an exhaustive overview of the whole Lacanian theorization of the visual, counterpointed by a confrontation with several thinkers of cinema (Eisenstein, Straub-Huillet, Deleuze, Ranciere), the book will lead the reader toward the discovery of the most counterintuitive approaches of Lacanian psychoanalysis to the topic of vision. The outcome may have a major impact on the way we understand cinema and visual studies: sometimes abstract formalization can help us looking at the space surrounding us even better than our eyes.Trade Review'Although the idea of the gaze as object played an important part in Lacanian psychoanalysis, it has rarely been found useful in practical film criticism. Pietro Bianchi's impressive analyses are here therefore groundbreaking, and his accounts both of Lacanianism and of modern French film theory are impressively lucid and eloquent. This is a stimulating and original book in all respects.'- Professor Fredric R. Jameson, Knut Schmidt-Nielsen Professor of ComparativeLiterature and Director of Institute for Critical Theory, Duke University'Jacques Lacan's theory of vision, centred around the gaze as an object, is arguably the most complex theory of vision to have been conceived. Pietro Bianchi's subtle book leads the reader by the hand through all of its complexities, explaining it in clear conceptual moves, displaying its vast ramifications and developing it further as a magnificent tool for the understanding of cinematic practice. The best introduction for those who want to get acquainted with it, but far more than an introduction - a genuine insightful new work by a young theorist about whom we are going to hear a lot.'-Professor Mladen Dolar, University of Ljubljana, SloveniaTable of ContentsIntroduction , Between Imaginary and images , The cut of the structure , Eisenstein and the structuralism of cinema , Lacan at the movies , A matter of gaze , Straub—Huillet and the presenting of object-gaze , Cinema: towards formalisation , Epilogue

Taylor & Francis Ltd Hollywood Blockbusters: The Anthropology of

15 in stock

Book SynopsisWhy do 'Jaws', 'Field of Dreams', 'The Big Lebowski', and 'The Godfather' remain strikingly popular in this age of fragmented audiences and ever-faster spin cycles? "Hollywood Blockbusters: The Anthropology of Popular Movies" argues that these films continue to captivate audiences because they play upon underlying tensions and problems in American culture, much like the myths that anthropologists study in non-Western contexts. In making this argument, the authors employ and extend anthropological theories about ritual, kinship, gift giving, power, egalitarianism, literacy, metalinguistics, stereotypes, and the mysteries of the Other. The results - original insights into modern film classics, American culture, and anthropological theory - will appeal to students of Film, Media, Anthropology, Sociology, and Cultural Studies.Trade ReviewHollywood Blockbusters is anthropological theorizing at its filmic best. Sutton and Wogan have translated complex anthropological concepts and debates into a rich analysis of popular motion pictures, giving us both a window into the value of anthropological sensibilities and a new interpretation of well-known Hollywood offerings. This wonderful book helps to counter claims about anthropology's marginal status in contemporary discussions about mainstream American culture, and will be an essential read for both students and scholars. - John L.

Book SynopsisIn the face of renewed competition from Hollywood since the early 1980s and the challenges posed to Europe’s national cinemas by the fall of the Wall in 1989, independent filmmaking in Europe has begun to re-invent itself. European Cinema: Face to Face with Hollywood re-assesses the different debates and presents a broader framework for understanding the forces at work since the 1960s. These include the interface of “world cinema” and the rise of Asian cinemas, the importance of the international film festival circuit, the role of television, as well as the changing aesthetics of auteur cinema. New audiences have different allegiances, and new technologies enable networks to reshape identities, but European cinema still has an important function in setting critical and creative agendas, even as its economic and institutional bases are in transition.Table of ContentsTable of Contents - 6 Preface - 10 Introduction: European Cinema: Conditions of Impossibility? - 14 National Cinema: Re-Definitions and New Directions - 34 European Culture, National Cinema, the Auteur and Hollywood - 36 ImpersoNations: National Cinema, Historical Imaginaries - 58 Film Festival Networks: the New Topographies of Cinema in Europe - 83 Double Occupancy and Small Adjustments: Space, Place and Policy in the New European Cinema since the 1990s - 109 Auteurs and Art Cinemas: Modernism and Self-Reference, Installation Art and Autobiography - 132 Ingmar Bergman – Person and Persona: The Mountain of Modern Cinema on the Road to Morocco - 134 Late Losey: Time Lost and Time Found - 156 Around Painting and the “End of Cinema”: A Propos Jacques Rivette’s La Belle Noiseuse - 166 Spellbound by Peter Greenaway: In the Dark ... and Into the Light - 179 The Body as Perceptual Surface: The Films of Johan van der Keuken - 194 Television and the Author’s Cinema: ZDF’s Das Kleine Fernsehspiel - 213 Touching Base: Some German Women Directors in the 1980s - 220 Europe-Hollywood-Europe - 232 Two Decades in Another Country: Hollywood and the Cinephiles - 234 Raoul Ruiz’s Hypothèse du Tableau Volé - 252 Images for Sale: The “New” British Cinema - 256 “If You Want a Life”: The Marathon Man - 271 British Television in the 1980s Through The Looking Glass - 279 German Cinema Face to Face with Hollywood: Looking into a Two-Way Mirror - 300 Central Europe Looking West - 320 Of Rats and Revolution: Dusan Makavejev’s The Switchboard Operator - 322 Defining DEFA’s Historical Imaginary: The Films of Konrad Wolf - 326 Under Western Eyes: What Does ¿i¿ek Want? - 343 Our Balkanist Gaze: About Memory’s No Man’s Land - 357 Europe Haunted by History and Empire - 372 Is History an Old Movie? - 374 Edgar Reitz’ Heimat: Memory, Home and Hollywood - 385 Discourse and History: One Man’s War – An Interview with Edgardo Cozarinsky - 396 Rendezvous with the French Revolution: Ettore Scola’s That Night in Varennes - 408 Joseph Losey’s The Go-Between - 413 Games of Love and Death: Peter Greenaway and Other Englishmen - 421 Border-Crossings: Filmmaking without a Passport - 432 Peter Wollen’s Friendship’s Death - 434 Andy Engel’s Melancholia - 437 On the High Seas: Edgardo Cozarinsky’s Dutch Adventure - 441 Third Cinema/World Cinema: An Interview with Ruy Guerra - 445 Ruy Guerra’s Erendira - 462 Hyper-, Retro- or Counter-: European Cinema as Third Cinema Between Hollywood and Art Cinema - 465 Conclusion - 484 European Cinema as World Cinema: A New Beginning? - 486 European Cinema: A Brief Bibliography - 516 List of Sources and Places of First Publication - 532 Index of Names - 536 Index of Film Titles / Subjects - 550
