Does the cinema or any other sign system librerate or manipulate us? How can we as spectators know when the media are subtly perpetuating a specific set of values? To address these issues, the author draws from a variety of approaches - Marxism, psychoanalysis, communication theory, semiotics, structuralism, the psychology of perception. Working with two interrelated theories - ideology and systems of visual representation, and ideology and principles of textual criticism - Nichols shows how and why we make emotional investments in sign systems within an ideological context." -- BACK COVER Notes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 304-313 ISBN: 0253182875; 0253202566 (pbk.)
