Performing Authorship: Self-Inscription and Corporeality in the Cinema
ISBN: 9781780760056 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The figure of the auteur continues to haunt the study of film, resisting both the poststructuralist charges that pointed to its absence and the histories of production that have described its pitfalls. In an era defined by the instability of identities and the recycling of works, Performing Authorship offers a refreshingly new take on the cinematic auteur, proposing that the challenges that once accelerated this figure's critical demise should instead pump new life into it.
This book is about the drama of creative processes in essay, documentary and fiction films, with particular... The figure of the auteur continues to haunt the study of film, resisting both the poststructuralist charges that pointed to its absence and the histor...

Impure Cinema: Intermedial and Intercultural Approaches to Film
ISBN: 9781780765105 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Andre Bazin's famous article, 'Pour un cinema impur: defense de l'adaptation', was first translated into English simply as 'In Defence of Mixed Cinema', probably to avoid any uncomfortable sexual or racial resonances the word 'impure' might have. Impure Cinema goes back to Bazin's original title precisely for its defense of impurity, applying it on the one hand to cinema's interbreeding with other arts and on the other to its ability to convey and promote cultural diversity.
In contemporary progressive film criticism, ideas of purity, essence and origin have been superseded by... Andre Bazin's famous article, 'Pour un cinema impur: defense de l'adaptation', was first translated into English simply as 'In Defence of Mixed Cinema...

ISBN: 9781490507354 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book identifies, presents and critically evaluates a corpus of films dealing with Arabs and Arabic themes produced in the United States during the silent era (1894-1930).

Stardom and the Aesthetics of Neorealism: Ingrid Bergman in Rossellini's Italy
