Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) An International Study of Film Museums
Book SynopsisAn International Study of Film Museums examines how cinema has been transformed and strengthened through museological and archival activities since its origins and asks what paradoxes may be involved, if any, in putting cinema into a museum. Cere explores the ideas that were first proposed during the first half of the twentieth century around the need to establish national museums of cinema and how these have been adapted in the subsequent development of the five case studies presented here: four in Europe and one in the USA. The book traces the history of the five museums'' foundation, exhibitions, collections, and festivals organised under their aegis and it asks how they resolve the tensions between cinema as an aesthetic artefact now officially recognised as part of humanity''s cultural heritage and cinema as an entertainment and leisure activity. It also gives an account of recent developments around unifying collections, exhibition activitiesTrade Review"In The Love of Cinema, Rinella Cere provides a fascinating account of the various and sometimes conflicting impulses, interests and policies behind the development of film museums as sites for the presentation of cinema’s history and heritage. While some museums have been primarily devoted to preserving the technologies for film production and exhibition, others like the Cinémathèque Française have seen their principal role as being the acquisition, preservation and display of films of the past. Still others have sought to curate the social history of cinema and its audiences, while the critics of film museums – among them Francois Truffaut and Joseph Losey – have seen them as futile attempts "to preserve a transient art," no more than "a gimmick for tourists." The Love of Cinema explores the diverse conceptions of what a film museum might be and the motives and personalities of the dedicated individuals who created five of the world’s leading film museums, largely without state support or public funding, in France, Britain, Italy, Catalonia and the US. In the breadth of its coverage and its illuminating detail, Cere’s work demonstrates how our understanding of cinema’s archaeology and evolution has been deepened by the archival and museological activities of the institutions she examines." – Richard Maltby, Flinders University, South Australia"An important work on the world of the film museum based on original research on institutions including the Cinémathèque Française, Britain’s National Science and Media Museum, and the George Eastman Museum in the United States, and key individuals such as Ernest Lindgren and Henri Langlois. Dr Cere deftly combines accounts of the historical development of her case studies with critical reflection on the different and contrasting notions of the film museum embodied in their practices. The cultural enterprise of establishing an institution incorporating a film archive, physical apparatuses such as cameras and projectors, and the numerous forms of documentation (studio records, memoirs) relevant to the cinema, is a complex process and Dr Cere’s work reveals the ways in which it has been interpreted in different ways in different countries with different film heritages." – Tom Ryall, Sheffield Hallam University, UK"In An International Study of Film Museums, Rinella Cere provides a fascinating account of the various and sometimes conflicting impulses, interests and policies behind the development of film museums as sites for the presentation of cinema’s history and heritage.

As this is a primarily historical study, I appreciated Cere’s consistent investigation of the relationship of various museums with FIAF, the international organisation of film archivists." - Dina Iordanova, University of St Andrews, UKTable of ContentsIntroduction; Chapter 1 The birth of the museum of Cinema; Chapter 2 The National Science and Media Museum; Chapter 3 Who is guarding the treasures now?

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Information Society
Book SynopsisThe information society' refers to a constellation of developments arising from the growing use of communication technologies in the acquisition, storage, and processing of information, and the role of information in supporting the creation and exchange of knowledge. Research on information societies really began to take off in the 1970s when Daniel Bell wrote about the information age'. While there were earlier works that focused on the growing importance of information in the economy, it was not until the mid-1990s and the spread of the Internet that this field of study experienced a huge expansion across a broad range of disciplines in the social sciences and beyond. A critical mass of scholarship has now accumulated, establishing the information society' and information societies' as a terrain of substance and complexity, the exploration and understanding of which requires increasingly sophisticated navigation skills. As research in and around the area continues to flourish as n

Taylor & Francis Film Noir
Book SynopsisThe term film noir still conjures images of a uniquely American malaise: hard-boiled detectives, fatal women, and the shadowy hells of urban life. But from its beginnings, film noir has been an international phenomenon, and its stylistic icons have migrated across the complex geo-political terrain of world cinema. This book traces film noir's emergent connection to European cinema, its movement within a cosmopolitan culture of literary and cinematic translation, and its postwar consolidation in the US, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. The authors examine how film noir crosses national boundaries, speaks to diverse international audiences, and dramatizes local crimes and the crises of local spaces in the face of global phenomena like world-wide depression, war, political occupation, economic and cultural modernization, decolonization, and migration. This fresh study of film noir and global culture also discusses film noir's heterogeneous style and revisTrade Review"Jennifer Fay and Justus Nieland have written an ideal text for students of this fascinating category of films. They've lucidly synthesized recent critical debates and at the same time added an original spin to the topic, viewing noir in the context of internationalism and globalization. Their book deserves a very wide audience." - James Naremore author of More Than Night: Film Noir in Its ContextsTable of ContentsPreface: Down these Mean Streets, Again...
