Confronting Modernity in the Cinemas of Taiwan and Mainland China
ISBN: 9780521806770 / Angielski / Twarda / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Despite differences in the political, social, and economic systems of Taiwan and mainland China, the process of modernization in both has challenged traditional cultural norms. Tonglin Lu examines how differences in cultural formation between Taiwan and China have influenced reactions to modernity and how cultural identity has taken different forms on both sides of the Taiwan straits. She illustrates how these differences in the experience of modernity are expressed through analysis of paradigmatic films produced in both countries, with a particular emphasis on their formal experiments.

Australian Cinema After Mabo
ISBN: 9780521834803 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Australian Cinema after Mabo is a comprehensive 2005 study of Australian national cinema in the 1990s. Using the 1992 Mabo decision as a starting point, it looks at how the Mabo decision, where the founding doctrine of terra nullius was overruled, has destabilised the way Australians relate to the land.

Including The Tracker, Kiss or Kill, The Castle, Love Serenade and Yolngu Boy...

Opera as Soundtrack
ISBN: 9780754667186 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Filmmakers' fascination with opera dates back to the silent era but it was not until the late 1980s that critical enquiries into the intersection of opera and cinema began to emerge. Jeongwon Joe focusses primarily on the role of opera as soundtrack by exploring the distinct effects opera produces in film, effects which differ from other types of soundtrack music, such as jazz or symphony. These effects are examined from three perspectives: peculiar qualities of the operatic voice; various properties commonly associated with opera, such as excess, otherness or death; and multifaceted tensions...

The Shifting Definitions of Genre: Essays on Labeling Films, Television Shows and Media
ISBN: 9780786434305 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Histories of science fiction often dicuss Fritz Lang's Metropolis as a classic work within the genre-yet the term "science fiction" had not been invented at the time of the film's release. If the genre did not have a name, did it exist? Does retroactive assignment to a genre change our understanding of a film? Do films shift in meaning and status as the name of a genre changes meaning over time? These provocative questions are at the heart of this book, whose thirteen essays examine the varying constructions of genre within film, television, and other entertainment media. Collectively, the...

ISBN: 9781855661691 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) For many reasons, but most usually the lack of playable modern translations, the plays of the seventeenth-century Spanish Comedia have appeared infrequently on the stages of the English-speaking world. Once such translations began to appear in the final decades of the twentieth century, productions followed and audiences were once again given the opportunity of discovering the enormous riches of this theatre. The bringing of Spanish seventeenth-century verse plays to the contemporary English-speaking stage involves a number of fundamental questions. Are verse translations preferable to prose,...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Masculine Singular is an original interpretation of French New Wave cinema by one of France s leading feminist film scholars. While most criticism of the New Wave has concentrated on the filmmakers and their films, Genevieve Sellier focuses on the social and cultural turbulence of the cinema s formative years, from 1957 to 1962. The New Wave filmmakers were members of a young generation emerging on the French cultural scene, eager to acquire sexual and economic freedom. Almost all of them were men, and they wrote in the masculine first-person singular, often using male protagonists as...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Music in film is often dismissed as having little cultural significance. While Hammer Film Productions is famous for such classic films as Dracula and The Curse of Frankenstein, few observers have noted the innovative music that Hammer distinctively incorporated into its horror films. This book tells how Hammer commissioned composers at the cutting edge of European musical modernism to write their movie scores, introducing the avant-garde into popular culture via the enormously successful venue of horror film. Each chapter addresses a specific category of the avant-garde musical...

ISBN: 9780786436897 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Exploitation filmmakers played a significant role in revolutionizing American cinema during the 1960s and early 1970s, churning out a string of independent Westerns, biker films, nudie-cuties and horror flicks in record times and often on shoestring budgets. With titles like "Horror of the Blood Monsters", "Cycle Savages" and "The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant", these films pushed the boundaries of acceptable on-screen violence and nudity and kept the American theater industry afloat as several major studios teetered on the brink of financial collapse.This work tells the story of that...

Becoming the New Man in Post-Postmodernist Fiction - Portrayals of Masculinities in David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest and Chuck Palahniuk's Fight C
ISBN: 9783836437356 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) While scholars have analyzed the masculinity crisis portrayed in American fiction, few have focused on postmodernist fiction, few have examined masculinity without using feminist theory, and no articles propose a solution for ending traditional masculinitys dominance. I examine the masculinity crisis as it is portrayed in two postmodernist novels, David Foster Wallaces novel Infinite Jest and Chuck Palahniuks novel Fight Club. Both novels have male characters that ran the gamut of masculinities, but those that are the most successful at avoiding gender stereotypes develop a masculinity which...
