book		Photography, early cinema and colonial modernity : Frank Hurley's synchronized lecture entertainments / by Robert Dixon Anthem Press, 2011. Call No: 81HUR DIX Author: Dixon, Robert Source: UK/US Publisher: Anthem Press PubDate: 2011 PhysDes: xxxi, 256 p. : ill., map ; 24 cm Series: Anthem Australian humanities research series Subject: AUSTRALIA; PHOTOGRAPHY; PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE CINEMA; CINEMATOGRAPHY; CINEMATOGRAPHY. AUSTRALIA; HURLEY, FRANK; HOME OF THE BLIZZARD (AT, Frank Hurley, 1913); PEARLS AND SAVAGES (AT, Frank Hurley, 1921); ROSS SMITH FLIGHT, THE (AT, Frank Hurley, 1921) Summary: "Photography, Early Cinema and Colonial Modernity is not a biography of Frank Hurley the man; it is instead an examination of the social life of the many marvellous and meaningful things he made as a professional photographer and film maker. The focus of this volume surrounds the media events that encompassed these various creations - what Hurley called his 'synchronized lecture entertainments'. These media events were at once national and international; they involved Hurley in an entire culture industry that was constantly in movement along global lines of travel and communication. This raises complex questions both about the authorship of Hurley's photographic and filmic texts - which were often produced and presented by other people - and about their ontology, as they were often in a state of reassemblage in response to changing market opportunities. This unique study re-imagines, from inside the quiet and stillness of the archive, the prior social life enjoyed by Hurley's creations amidst the complicated topography of the early twentieth century's rapidly internationalizing mass-media landscape. As a way to conceive of that space, and of the social life of the people and things within it, this study uses the concept of 'colonial modernity'. -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references (p. 239-246) and index ISBN: 9780857287953 Contents: -- list of illustrations -- list of abbreviations -- acknowledgments -- Introduction: Australia's Embrace of Colonial Modernity -- 1.

book		The space of sex : the porn aesthetic in contemporary film and television / Shelton Waldrep New York: Bloomsbury, 2021. Call No: 749.2 WAL Author: Waldrep, Shelton Edition: 2021 Place: New York Publisher: Bloomsbury PubDate: 2021 PhysDes: 294 pages : illustrated ; 24 cm Subject: [TWO THOUSAND AND ONE] 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (UK, Stanley Kubrick, 1968); EYES WIDE SHUT (US/UK, Stanley Kubrick, 1999); FULL METAL JACKET (UK, Stanley Kubrick, 1987); KUBRICK, STANLEY; PORNOGRAPHIC FILMS; CANYONS, THE (US, Paul Schrader, 2013); MAGIC MIKE (US, Steven Soderbergh, 2012); SAVAGES (US, Oliver Stone, 2012); NYMPHOMANIAC [VOL. I AND VOL. II] (DK/G/BE/UK/FR, Lars von Trier, 2013); LOVE (FR/BE, Gaspar Noe, 2015); JAMES BOND IN FILMS Summary: As film and television become ever more focused on the pornographic gaze of the camera, the human body undergoes a metamorphosis, becoming both landscape and building, part of an architectonic design in which the erotics of the body spread beyond the body itself to influence the design of the film or televisual shot. The body becomes the mise-en-scène of contemporary moving imagery. Opening The Space of Sex, Shelton Waldrep sets up some important tropes for the book: the movement between high and low art; the emphasis on the body, looking, and framing; the general intermedial and interdisciplinary methodology of the book as a whole. The Space of Sex's second half focuses on how sex, gender, and sexuality are represented in several recent films, including Paul Schrader's The Canyons (2013), Oliver Stone's Savages (2012), Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike (2012), Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac (2013), and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Don Jon (2013). Each of these mainstream or independent movies, and several more, are examined for the ways they have attempted to absorb pornography, if not the pornography industry specifically, into their plot. According to Waldrep, the utopian elements of seventies porn get reprocessed in a complex way in the twenty-first century as both a utopian impulse-the desire to have sex on the screen, to re-eroticize sex as something positive and lacking in shame-with a mixed feeling about pornography itself, with an industry that can be seen in a dystopian light. In other words, sex, in our contemporary world, still does not come without compromise. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781501333057 Contents: Introduction -- Part One: Topographies of Desire -- 1.Framing the Image: The Female Body in Late Kubrick -- 2.The Spy Who Loved Me: Bond and the Playboy Aesthetic -- Part Two: The Pornographic Imaginary -- 3.Theorizing Pornography -- 4.Body of Art -- Part Three: The Space of Sex in Contemporary Film and Television -- 5.Porn as Form and Content -- 6.Spatializing Desire -- Bibliography -- Index More info
