Hollywood Blockbusters: The Anthropology of Popular Movies
ISBN: 9781847884862 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why 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,...

A Chorus of Raspberries: British Film Comedy 1929-1939
ISBN: 9780859896030 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A Chorus of Raspberries is the first full-length academic study of one of the most popular, profitable and persistent genres in British cinema. It redraws the map of British film history by arguing that comedy was the most successful, and perhaps the most important, genre of the 1930s, and that the very qualities which ensured the comedy film's low status are also its particular strengths. In the process it uncovers a whole tradition of popular cinema which criticism has relegated to the sidelines of history. The book looks in detail at the work of a number of key stars, including George...
