Film Histories – An Introduction and Reader

Häftad bok. Edinburgh University Press. 2009. 616 sidor.

Gott skick. I grunden ett ganska fint exemplar. Gula överstrykningar förekommer i små delar av boken. Lite kantstött, lättare yttre smånötningar. Några sidor ungefär i mitten av boken har råkat veckas till i yttermarginalen (även några små revor). Fläckstänk å övre snittet.

"A wide-ranging introduction to film history, this anthology covers the history of film from 1895 to the present day. The book is arranged chronologically, and each chapter contains an introduction by the editors on the key developments within the period, followed by a classic piece of historical research about that period. Various types of film history are undertaken in the articles, so that students can become familiar with different types of film historical research. For example, topics include the history of audiences; exhibition; marketing; censorship; aesthetic history; political history; and historical reception studies. The book is therefore designed to provide students with a narrative history spine while simultaneously introducing them to different approaches to the study and research of film history. Concentrating on the plurality of the 'historical turn' in film studies, this book demonstrates that film history is, and should be, about more than simply key films, directors and movements."
