Hoberman delivers a brilliant and witty look at the decade when politics and pop culture became one. This was the era of the Missile Gap and the Space Race, the Black and Sexual Revolutions, the Vietnam War and Watergate - as well as the tele-saturation of the American market and the advent of Pop art. In "elegant, epigrammatic prose" (A.O Scott), Hoberman moves from the political histories of movies to the theater of wars, national political campaigns, and pop-culture events. With entertaining reinterpretations of key Hollywood movies such as Bonnie and Clyde, The Wild Bunch, and Shampoo, and meditations on personages ranging from John Wayne and Patty Hearst to Jane Fonda, Ronald Reagan, and Che Guevara. Hoberman reconstructs the hidden poltical history of 1960s cinema and the spectacular formation of America's mass-mediated politics" -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Originally published: 2003ISBN: 1565849787Contents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction: "suddenly...It's 1960!" -- I.

In this definitive study, Leo Braudy tells the complicated story of the film’s production. He revisits the facts behind the controversy of Kazan’s infamous ‘naming of names’ during the McCarthy communist trials of the 1950s. But above all this is an analysis of the enduring appeal of On the Waterfront: the method inspired acting, the music and cinematography, the use of authentic locations and its powerfully symbolic depiction of post-war American values.

The president electric : Ronald Reagan and the politics of performance / Timothy Raphael Ann Arbor Mich.: University of Michigan Press, 2009.
Call No: 81REA RAPAuthor: Raphael, Timothy Source: USPlace: Ann Arbor Mich.Publisher: University of Michigan PressPubDate: 2009PhysDes: ix, 271 p. ; 23 cmSeries: Theater: theory, text, performanceSubject: CAPITALISM AND THE CINEMA ; POLITICS AND THE CINEMA. USA ; POLITICS IN THE CINEMA ; PRESIDENTS [USA] IN FILMS ; Reagan, Ronald Summary: "While Ronald Reagan first entered politics in 1965, his public profile as a performer in radio, film, television, and advertising and his experience in public relations proved invaluable political assets. By the time he left office in 1989, the media in which he trained had become the primary source for generating and wielding political power. The President Electric: Ronald Reagan and the Politics of Performance reveals how the systematic employment of the techniques and technologies of mass-media performance contributed to Reagan's rise to power and defined his style of governance. The President Electric stands out among books on Reagan as the first to bring the rich insights of the field of perfoemance studies to an understanding of the Ronald Reagan phenomenon, connecting Reagan's training in electronic media to the nineteenth century notion of the "fiat of electricity" - the emerging sociopolitical power of three entities (mechanical science, corporate capitalism, and mass culture) that electric technology made possible. The book describes how this new regime of cultural and political representation shaped the development of the electronic mass media that transformed American culture and politics and educated Ronald Reagan for his future role as president." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes notes, works cited list and index.ISBN: 9780472050734
