Exploring cinemagoing and cinema culture, this book considers the 1930s, when going to the pictures was everybody's favourite spare-time activity. From the familiar and magical surroundings of the picture houses themselves to the action and romance on the screen, Annette Kuhn draws on extensive interviews with picturegoers, research in cultural history and readings of popular films of the day to discover how cinema brought a special magic to the daily lives of a generation of young men and women growing up in an austere climate of making-do.

Dreaming of Fred and Ginger: Cinema and Cultural Memory
ISBN: 9780814747711 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the 1930s, Britain had the highest annual per capita cinema attendance in the world, far surpassing ballroom dancing as the nation's favorite pastime. It was, as historian A.J.P. Taylor said, the "essential social habit of the age." And yet, although we know something about the demographics of British cinemagoers, we know almost nothing of their experience of film, how film affected them, how it fit into their daily lives, what role cinema played in the larger culture of the time, and in what ways cinemagoing shaped the generation that came of age in the 1930s. In Dreaming of... In the 1930s, Britain had the highest annual per capita cinema attendance in the world, far surpassing ballroom dancing as the nation's favorite pa... |

ISBN: 9781859842591 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Science fiction, more than any other film genre, allows cinema to exhibit its own distinctive matters of expression. Whether these be the state-of-the-art special effects technologies of "2001: A Space Odyssey," or the symbolic imagery of ruined cityscapes in "Blade Runner," they allow the spectator to experience the totality of the audiovisual thrill.
While this remains in many ways the core defining feature of the genre, recent trends in the study of science fiction cinema have seen a shift of focus away from the specifically cinematic towards the more broadly cultural. New technologies... Science fiction, more than any other film genre, allows cinema to exhibit its own distinctive matters of expression. Whether these be the state-of-the...

Queen of the 'B's: Ida Lupino Behind the Camera
ISBN: 9780313297328 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although Ida Lupino is best known as a leading actress in many Hollywood B movies, her work as a filmmaker has been neglected by critics, historians, and audiences. In the late 1940s, Lupino turned writer, producer, and director in her own independent production company. The films she made, beginning with "Not Wanted" in 1949, were low-budget pictures taking an uncompromising approach to controversial subject matter -- unmarried motherhood, disability, rape, bigamy. Lupino is exceptional as the only woman to have directed a visible body of films in the male-dominated Hollywood of the...

Alien Zone: Cultural Theory and Contemporary Science Fiction Cinema
ISBN: 9780860919933 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is especially true of the science fiction film--a genre as old as cinema itself--which has rarely received the serious attention devoted to such genres as the western, the film noir and recently, under the aegis of feminist film theory, the so-called "woman's film." Alien Zone aims to bring science fiction cinema fully into the ambit of cultural theory in general and of film theory in particular. The essays in this book--some newly written, others gathered from scattered sources--look at the ways in which contemporary science fiction films draw on, rework, and transform...

Cinema, Censorship and Sexuality 1909-1925 (Routledge Revivals)
ISBN: 9781138639294 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1988. This book shows how censorship as a set of institutions, practices and discourses was involved in the struggle over the nature of cinema in the early twentieth century. It also reveals the part played in this struggle by other institutions, practices and discourses -- for example 'new' knowledge about sexuality and organisations devoted to the promotion of public morality. Instead of censorship simply being an act of prohibition by a special institution, this work reveals the issues at work were far more complex and contradictory -- opening up critical scrutiny and...

ISBN: 9781780761619 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. 'Little madnesses' are our most deeply felt enthusiasms, investments and attachments in the sphere of culture. The term was coined by the child psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, whose work on transitional phenomena grew out of his naming of the transitional object, and extended into preliminary explorations of the crucial role played by cultural experience in a life that feels satisfying.
Here, in original chapters, writers, artists, scholars develop and revitalize cultural theory by exploring the idea of transitional phenomena and its potential to extend and deepen our understanding...

Locating Memory: Photographic Acts
ISBN: 9781845452193 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As a visual medium, the photograph has many culturally resonant properties that it shares with no other medium.

ISBN: 9781859844069 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Annette Kuhn's work as a theorist of culture has won her a wide reputation for dissecting film and other images in books such as Women's Pictures and The Power of the Image. In Family Secrets, she turns her attention to the deconstruction of pictures closer to home--photographs from her own childhood and images from her shared ethnographic past--to trace a trajectory from personal to collective acts of memory.
