Taylor & Francis Ltd The Music and Noise of the Stooges 196771
Book Synopsis The Stooges have come to be considered one of the most important rock bands, especially in regard to the formation of punk. By emphasizing their influence on later developments, however, critics tend to overlook the significance of the band in their own context and era. The Music and Noise of the Stooges, 1967-71 addresses such oversights. Utilizing the lenses of cultural criticism and sound studies (drawing on the thinking of Theodor Adorno, Jacques Attali, and Pierre Bourdieu, among others), as well as contemporary and archival texts, this extensively researched study analyzes the trajectory and musical output of the original Stooges. During the late 1960s and early 70s, a moment when the dissonant energy of rock'n'roll was more than ever being subsumed by the record industry, the Stooges were initially commercial failures, with the band's noisy music and singer Iggy Pop's bizarre onstage performances confusing their label, Elektra Records. As Begnal argues, thTrade Review“…[Begnal] frames the Stooges’ output and achievement in terms of cultural and literary criticism and sound studies…most interesting is Begnal’s contextual analyses of the group as products of ‘60s social and political upheaval, who as scholars of jazz and blues were heavily steeped in the racial and cultural dialogues of the time. Within this he also dissects the relationship between market forces and the avant garde, and the record industry’s role as agents of capitalism and commodification.”Mojo“…author Michael S. Begnal has dredged up some surprising and provable influences on the band’s intentions to smelt their initial psychy improvisation into tangible riffs and steadily solidified albums…this is a fresh reminder of those intriguing early days, adding smarts back into a story that is often lazily wound down into a bunch of memes about Iggy not wearing shirts…the investigation into the words and sounds of ‘Loose’ along will keep most uber-fans engrossed…there are useful [interviews] from old articles throughout that you might not ever have come across before.”Ugly Things, 64“This ain’t just any ol’ Stooges book but one which really deals with the deep down whys and wherefores of just what the group was up to during their original pre-RAW POWER romp…TONS of pertinent information, a whole load of it unknown even to me…that is presented here along with the insight and workings of what was so unique and downright special about the Stooges…Begnal put[s] it into heady but understandable terms..really, this is worth the while.”Blog to Comm (blogsite of Black to Comm)Table of ContentsIntroduction: "A Strange Type of Life"1 Becoming the Stooges2 Action, Reaction, Advance3 The Making of Fun House4 Fun House in the World5 The Third Elektra Album That Never WasConclusion: Becoming "Classic"BibliographyDiscographyFilmography

Taylor & Francis Ltd Indie TV
Book SynopsisThis edited collection is the first book to offer a wide-ranging examination of the interface between American independent film and a converged television landscape that consists of terrestrial broadcasters, cable networks and streaming providers, in which independent film and television intersect in complex, multifaceted and creative ways.The book covers the long history of continuities and connections between the two sectors, as seen in the activities of PBS, HBO or Sundance. It considers the movement of filmmakers between indie film and TV such as Steven Soderbergh, Rian Johnson, the Duplass brothers, Joe Swanberg, Lynn Shelton and Gregg Araki; details the confluence of aesthetic and thematic elements seen in shows such as Girls, Breaking Bad, Master of None, or Glow; points to a shared interest in regional sensibilities evident in shows like One Mississippi or Fargo; and makes the case for documentaries and web series as significaTrade Review"Indie TV is a fascinating and wide-ranging exploration of the interrelationships between media industries. Lyons and Tzioumakis have assembled a formidable group of scholars to make the powerful collective argument that cinema and television are, and always have been, inseparable. The many layers of indie TV revealed within will inspire film and TV historians, as well as those analyzing contemporary digital media and production cultures."Jennifer Holt, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA"When I praised this book to a non-academic friend, he readily and enthusiastically rattled off titles of multi-season and limited-episode series that immediately came to mind as cutting-edge examples of 'indie TV' and its cultural reach and resonance. Clearly, 'indie TV' has public purchase, and this far-ranging anthology, strong equally in conceptualization and industrial and aesthetic analysis, pinpoints why. The volume offers rich examples, sharp and smart insight, and welcome attention to diversity, on-screen and behind, around gender, race, ethnicity."Dana Polan, Cinema Studies, NYU, USATable of ContentsPart 1: Indie Film and Television: Historical Relationships 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Trauma Memory
Book SynopsisOver the past decades, the memory of the Holocaust has not only become a common cultural consciousness but also a cultural property shared by people all over the world. This collection brings together academics, critics and creative practitioners from the fields of Holocaust Studies, Literature, History, Media Studies, Creative Writing and German Studies to discuss contemporary trends in Holocaust commemoration and representation in literature, film, TV, the entertainment industry and social media. The essays in this trans-disciplinary collection debate how contemporary culture engages with the legacy of the Holocaust now that, 75 years on from the end of the Second World War, the number of actual survivors is dwindling. It engages with ongoing cultural debates in Holocaust Studies that have seen a development from, largely, testimonial presentations of the Holocaust to more fictional narratives both in literature and film.
