Native Americans and Cinema
ISBN: 9783639097375 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The term 'Native American' covers more than 500 nations living in the U.S., with a rich cultural heritage, a real mystery for many outsiders. Yet, we all are familiar with the 'Indian', the product of the White man's imagination. Western films from Hollywood's golden age invariably depicted Native Americans as primitive, bloodthirsty savages and threats to the civilization. Has the American film industry produced movies in which the first nations of America are portrayed in their cultural integrity and variety, devoid of cliches and biases? The first two chapters of this book tackle this...

Screening Choice
ISBN: 9783639161205 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The representation of the abortion issue in American film has been deeply effected by the social and historical climate within which these representations are produced. However this does not mean that representations has accurately, or even remotely, resembled the lived experience of people going through the struggle of abortion decisions at any given time. Rather, the representations created are more a reflection of political, social, medical and religious discourse at the time of the films' productions. The Abortion Issue in American Film: 1900-2000 explores how these external discourses...

Sound Affects
ISBN: 9783639163490 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the last few years, much has been written on the
work of Lars von Trier, though the majority of these texts are built around matters of aesthetic and auteurist interest. What is lacking in these investigations, however, is an articulation of the films sonic properties, sado-masochistic structures, and affective potentialities. Sound Affects seeks a greater understanding of these facets of von Triers films, moving beyond more traditional ocular-centric modes of investigation to focus its analysis on the soundtrack, or mise-en-bande. Constructing its methodology from concepts originating in... In the last few years, much has been written on the

The Caveman and the Machine
ISBN: 9783639169843 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book Willis Peter Bilderback examines two
discursive tendencies found in the American Musical Film during the period 1929-1935. The first is a tendency toward "the technological sublime" as displayed by the films that Busby Berkeley choreographed for Warner Brothers studios. The second is "the eroticization of the primitive" as found in a significant number of "pre-code" Hollywood Musicals. Bilderback unpacks the meaning of these discourses through a close analysis of the films, and by referencing the cultural, economic and political history of the United States during the...

ISBN: 9780521387682 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book represents a new way of thinking about Australian cinema by asking where the origins of the new film lie. It begins by tracing the indebtedness of Australian cinema to the classical narrative style of Hollywood filmmaking, with its firm grasp of melodrama. Several films are studied in detail within this framework, including Picnic at Hanging Rock, Blood Oath, The Empty Beach, and Shame. The book continues by comparing the problems faced by "high" British cinema of the 1940s and 1950s with those faced by Australian cinema of the 1970s and the 1980s in the attempts by both countries...

ISBN: 9783639185768 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bei der Produktion eines Films stehen sich zwei kontrare Seiten gegenuber - die Seite der kreativen Gestaltung und die Seite der kommerziellen Vermarktung. Dies zwingt Filmemacher haufig zu Kompromissen und ist oft der erste Schritt zur Gestaltung verschiedener Versionen eines Films. Mittlerweile ist auf dem Heimkinomarkt ein Trend zur Veroffentlichung von Alternativfassungen entstanden. Die Studios haben hier eine lukrative Einnahmequelle erkannt und bringen nun Filmversionen auf den Markt, die aus verschiedenen Grunden nicht im Kino gezeigt werden konnten.

Hollywood Shot by Shot: Alcoholism in American Cinema
ISBN: 9780202303451 / Angielski / Miękka / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To what extent have Hollywood feature films shaped the meanings that Americans attach to alcoholics, their families, and the alcoholic condition? To what extent has the mass culture of the movie industry itself been conceptually shaped by a broad, external societal discourse? Norman Denzin brings to his life-long study of alcoholism a searching interest in how cultural texts signify and lend themselves to interpretation within a social nexus. Both historical and diachronic in his approach, Denzin identifies five periods in the alcoholism films made between 1932 and the end of the 1980s,...

Representing the Woman: Cinema and Psychoanalysis examines the theory and politics of representation in narrative film.

Quebec National Cinema
ISBN: 9780773521032 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the first comprehensive, theoretically informed work in English on Quebec cinema, Marshall views his subject as neither the assertion of some unproblematic national wholeness nor a random collection of disparate voices that drown out or invalidate the question of nation. Instead, he shows that while the allegory of nation marks Quebec film production it also leads to a tension between textual and contextual forces, between homogeneity and heterogeneity, and between major and minor modes of being and identity. Drawing on a broad framework of theory and particularly indebted to the work of...

Der stumme Körper
ISBN: 9783639206586 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kenneth Anger selbst bemerkte einmal zu seinen Filmen: As enchantment they will last for a while then they will vanish; it's like writing on water." Anger jedoch hat den amerikanischen Avantgarde-Film nach 1945 entscheidend gepragt, war er doch der Einzige, der zur Untermalung und Untermauerung zeitgenossische Musik verwendete. Diese Idee wurde spater von Hollywood aufgegriffen und angeeignet. Durch die Anordnung der von ihm verwendetet Songs entsteht bei Angers Filmen entweder eine Widerspruchlichkeit zum, oder eine zusatzliche Bedeutung des Gesehenen. Obwohl die beiden in diesem Buch...

ISBN: 9780520256729 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Japan has done marvelous things with cinema, giving the world the likes of Kurosawa, Mizoguchi, and Ozu. But cinema did not arrive in Japan fully formed at the end of the nineteenth century, nor was it simply adopted into an ages-old culture. Aaron Gerow explores the processes by which film was defined, transformed, and adapted during its first three decades in Japan. He focuses in particular on how one trend in criticism, the Pure Film Movement, changed not only the way films were made, but also how they were conceived. Looking closely at the work of critics, theorists, intellectuals, benshi...
