This is an arena in which innovative, sometimes challenging cinema reaches out to the mainstream. Or, alternatively, a zone of duplicity and compromise in which the 'true' heritage of the indie sector is co-opted as an offshoot of Hollywood. Indiewood is the first book to provide objective analysis of this distinctive region of the contemporary American film landscape. Case studies...

Mapping Reality: An Exploration of Cultural Cartographies
ISBN: 9780312127060 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. An original and wide-ranging study of the mappings used to impose meaning on the world. MAPPING REALITY argues that maps create rather than merely represent the ground on which they rest. Distinctions between map and territory, questioned by some theorists of the postmodern, are found always to have been arbitrary. The subordination of one to the other is seen as the outcome of an ideology imposed on a more complex reality by a series of Western imperial mappings.
