Summary: The Western is one of Hollywood cinema’s most potent and enduring genres, bound up with America’s understanding of itself as a frontier nation. Edward Buscombe provides an illuminating guide to a hundred key films of the genre, from Broken Arrow to The Wild Bunch by way of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, A Fistful of Dollars, The Magnificent Seven and The Searchers. Each entry includes a plot synopsis, major credits, and a commentary on the film’s significance, together with its production and exhibition history. Edward Buscombe’s introduction to the volume discusses the criteria for selecting a mere hundred essential Westerns out of the thousands that have been made since the birth of cinema. He considers the relative weight to be attached to the acknowledged great directors of the genre, such as John Ford and Sam Peckinpah, and to lesser known but significant figures such as Delmer Daves. He takes stock of the contribution of the great Western stars, including John Wayne, James Stewart and Clint Eastwood. And he argues for a selection that takes into account Westerns of the silent era, B-Westerns and singing cowboys, and those Westerns made outside America. [Taken from back cover.]

Summary: "In this book, philosopher Robert B. Pippin reveals how films can illuminate, in a concrete manner, core features of shared human life. Filmed Thought examines questions of morality in Almodovar's Talk to Her, goodness and naivete in Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, love and fantasy in Sirk's All That Heaven Allows, politics and society in Polanski's Chinatown and Malick's The Thin Red Line, and self-understanding and understanding others in Nicholas Ray's In A Lonely Place and in the Dardenne brothers' oeuvre. In each reading, Pippin pays close attention to what makes these films exceptional as technical works of art (with an eye to cinematic irony) and as intellectual and philosophical achievements. Throughout, he shows how films offer a view of basic problems of human agency from the inside and allow viewers to think with and through them. Captivating and insightful, Filmed Thought shows us what it means to take cinema seriously not just as art, but as thought, and how this medium provides a singular form of reflection on what it is to be human." - taken from back cover.

Summary: "Wie inszeniert das Medium Film das Zusammenspiel von Sexualität, Widerstand und Körperpolitiken? Welche Formen von Sexualität und erotischer Sinnlichkeit, die entweder als widerständige Handlungsweisen oder als Teil von politischem Widerstand adressiert werden können, wurden in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten in internationalen Filmkulturen visualisiert und damit hervorgehoben? Kann die Darstellung des sexualisierten Körpers oder sexuellen Akts in bestimmten Kontexten zu einer politischen Waffe werden? Welchen Raum erhalten dabei divergierende sexuelle Orientierungen und Praktiken etwa im Verbund mit homosexuellem Begehren? Der Sammelband vereint eine Mischung aus interdisziplinären und künstlerischen Zugängen zum Thema Sexualität und Widerstand und spürt seinen (audio-)visuellen Vermittlungen aus lokaler und transnationaler Perspektive nach. Das breite Spektrum an Text­genres reicht von akademischen Reflexionen über Malerei bis hin zu Dichtkunst und Bildcollagen. Fragen der Film-, ­Medien-, Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaft sowie Geschlechterforschung und Zeitgeschichte treffen in diesem Band auf sexualwissenschaftliche und medizinhistorische Ansätze." -- FROM BLURB
