USA ; PLOT AGAINST AMERICA (US, 2020) ; SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE [TV] (US, 1975-) ; STAR TREK [ GENERAL] ; AMERICAN HORROR STORY [TV] (US, 2011) Summary: In American Television during a Television Presidency, Karen McNally and contributors critically examine the various ways in which television became transfixed by the Trump presidency and the broader political, social, and cultural climate. This book is the first to fully address the relationship between TV and a presidency consistently conducted with television in mind.
The sixteen chapters cover everything from the political theater of televised impeachment hearings to the potent narratives of fictional drama and the stinging critiques of comedy, as they consider the wide-ranging ways in which television engages with the shifting political culture that emerged during this period. Approaching television both historically and in the contemporary moment, the contributors - an international group of scholars from a variety of academic disciplines- illuminate the indelible links that exist between television, American politics, and the nation’s broader culture. As it interrogates a presidency played out through the lens of the TV camera and reviews a medium immersing itself in a compelling and inescapable subject, American Television during a Television Presidency sets out to explore what defines the television of the Trump era as a distinctive time in TV history. From inequalities to resistance, and from fandom to historical memory, this book opens up new territory in which to critically analyze television’s complex relationship with Donald Trump, his presidency, and the political culture of this unsettled and simultaneously groundbreaking era.
Undergraduate and graduate students and scholars of film and television studies, comedy studies, and cultural studies will value this strong collection. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780814349359Donation: Senses of Cinema

Anxious cinephilia : pleasure and peril at the movies / Sarah Keller New York: Columbia University Press,

Keller reframes the history of cinephilia from the earliest days of film through the French New Wave and into the streaming era, arguing that love and fear have shaped the cinematic experience from its earliest days. This anxious love for the cinema marks both institutional practices and personal experiences, from the curation of the moviegoing experience to the creation of community and identity through film festivals to posting on social media. Through a detailed analysis of films and film history, Keller examines how changes in cinema practice and spectatorship create anxiety even as they inspire nostalgia. Anxious Cinephilia offers a new theoretical approach to the relationship between spectator and cinema and reimagines the concept of cinephilia to embrace its diverse forms and its uncertain future. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780231180870Contents: Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Autism in Film and Television brings together more than a dozen essays on depictions of autism, exploring how autistic characters are signified in media and how the reception of these characters informs societal understandings of autism.
Editors Murray Pomerance and R. Barton Palmer have assembled a pioneering examination of autism’s portrayal in film and television. Contributors consider the various means by which autism has been expressed in films such as Phantom Thread, Mercury Rising, and Life Animated and in television and streaming programs including Atypical, Stranger Things, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Community. Across media, the figure of the brilliant, accomplished, and “quirky” autist has proven especially appealing. Film and television have thus staked out a progressive position on neurodiversity by insisting on screen time for autism but have done so while frequently ignoring the true diversity of autistic experience. As a result, this volume is a welcome celebration of nonjudgmental approaches to disability, albeit one that is still freighted with stereotypes and elisions. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781477324912Contents: -- -- Preface: Two Meditations: Who Am I?

In doing so, it interrogates some of the key assumptions concerning the relationship between aesthetics and the politics of identity, that have influenced and informed television drama criticism during this period.

Call No: 210.31(73) FRIAuthor: Fritz, Ben Source: USPlace: BostonPublisher: Eamon Dolan Book/ Houghton Mifflin HarcourtPubDate: 2018PhysDes: xxv, 278 pages ; 24 cm.Subject: SONY CORPORATION ; MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT ; AMAZON ; NETFLIX ; IMAX ; WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS ; BUENA VISTA INTERNATIONAL ; WARNER BROS. ; FRANCHISES ; STAR WARS [...] (US, 1977-2015) Summary: "The stunning metamorphosis of twenty-first-century Hollywood and what lies ahead for the art and commerce of film. In the past decade, Hollywood has endured a cataclysm on a par with the end of silent film and the demise of the studio system. Stars and directors have seen their power dwindle, while writers and producers lift their best techniques from TV, comic books, and the toy biz. The future of Hollywood is being written by powerful corporate brands like Marvel, Amazon, Netflix, and Lego, as well as censors in China. Ben Fritz chronicles this dramatic shakeup with unmatched skill, bringing equal fluency to both the financial and entertainment aspects of Hollywood. He dives deeply into the fruits of the Sony hack to show how the previous model, long a creative and commercial success, lost its way. And he looks ahead through interviews with dozens of key players at Disney, Marvel, Netflix, Amazon, IMAX, and others to discover how they have reinvented the business. He shows us, for instance, how Marvel replaced stars with "universes," and how Disney remade itself in Apple's image and reaped enormous profits. But despite the destruction of the studios' traditional playbook, Fritz argues that these seismic shifts signal the dawn of a new heyday for film. The Big Picture shows the first glimmers of this new golden age through the eyes of the creative mavericks who are defining what our movies will look like in the new era." -- Book jacket.Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 247-263) and index.ISBN: 9780544789760Contents: A notes on sources ix -- Introduction: Groundhog Day-How franchises killed originality in Hollywood xii -- Part 1: How Hollywood got here -- The Odd Couple: Lynton and Pascal's glory days at Sony -- Reality Bites: How everything went wrong for the movie business -- Inception: The secret origin of the superhero movie -- Revenge of the Nerds: The rise of Marvel Studios -- Spiderman: Homecoming- why Sony gave up its most valuable asset -- Star Wars: The decline of the A-list -- A Star is Born: Netflix, the new home for movie stars -- Frozen: Why studios stopped making mid-budget dramas -- Trading places: How tv stole movies' spot atop Hollywood -- Part 2: Where Hollywood is headed -- The Terminator: Disney, the perfect studio for the franchise age -- The Producers: Creativity meets franchise managment -- The Shop Around the Corner: Amazon saves the indie film business -- Apt Pupil: China's shifting relationship with Hollywood -- Field of Dreams: Studio defectors and the future of nonfranchise films -- The Last Picture Show?

The bestselling author David Bret traces the development of Presley's film career and recounts the on-set cat fights with co-stars and studio personnel. He unearths the truth about the powerful hold exercised over Elvis by 'Colonel' Tom Parker, which revolved around Parker preventing a leak about Presley's relationship with another man from going public and then using this knowledge as a persistant threat to ensure his protege's loyalty.
Bret explores and hotly disputes the controversial allegations, levelled by Presley's step-family, that he had sex with his mother, raped his wife, held debauched, drug fuelled parties with groupies and eventually committed suicide. Above all, the author praises the nature and talent of the man who was - and still is - the supreme authority on rock'n'roll and romance.

Femmes fatales : feminism, film theory, psychoanalysis / Mary Ann Doane New York: Routledge, 1991.

Femmes Fatales examines Freud, the female spectator, the meaning of the close-up, and the nature of stardom. Duane's analyses of such figures as Pabst's Lulu and Rita Hayworth's Gilda trace the thematics and mechanics of maskes, masquerade, and veiling, with specific attention to the form and technology of the cinema. Working through and against the intellectual frameworks of post-structuralist and psychoanalytic theory, Doane interrogates cinematic and theoretical claims to truth about women which rely on judgements about vision and its stability or instability. Reflecting the shift in conceptual priorities within feminist film theory over the last decade, Femmes Fatales addresses debates over female spectatorhsip, essentialism and anti-essentialism, the tensions between psychoanalysis and history, and the relations between racial and sexual difference. Doane's nuanced and original readings of the femme fatale in cinema demonstrates that confrontations between feminism, film theory and psychoanalysis can be productively destabilizing for each discipline. -- PUBLISHERNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 269-300) and indexISBN: 041590319X; 0415903203 (pbk.)LON: 91003659; 8050789

Through a set of vibrant case studies, this collection investigates rebooting as a practice that seeks to remake an entire film series or franchise, with ambitions that are at once respectful and revisionary. Examining such notable examples as Batman, Ghostbusters, and Star Trek, among others, this collection contends with some of the most important features of contemporary film and media culture today. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781474451369Contents: Introduction: Film Reboots / Daniel Herbert and Constantine Verevis.

Yet in spite of Fosse's deep cultural significance, no biography has ever brought him fully to life, unveiling the man behind the bowler hat and the swaggering sex appeal. Now, acclaimed cultural historian Sam Wasson traces Fosse's numberless reinventions of himself over a career that would spawn The Pajama Game, Cabaret, Pippin, Chicago, All That Jazz, and other iconic works of art and earn him Tonys, Emmys, and an Oscar. Wasson traces not only Fosse's prodigious professional life, but his intense relationships with everyone from Liza Minnelli, Fred Astaire, and Neil Simon to Shirley MacLaine, Jessica Lange, and Dustin Hoffman. Through extensive interviews with collaborators and lovers and unprecedented access to Fosse's archives, Wasson also reveals the deep wounds that propelled his subject's excessive appetites--for spotlights, women, and life itself. In Fosse, Wasson's stylish, effervescent prose proves the ideal vehicle for reanimating Bob Fosse as he truly was--after hours, close up, and in vibrant color" -- FROM TROVENotes: Contains photos and indexISBN: 9780547553290

The franchise era : managing media in the digital economy / edited by James Fleury, Bryan Hikari Hartzheim and Stephen Mamber Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2020.
Call No: 753.81 FRAAuthor: Fleury, James ; Hartzheim, Bryan Hikari ; Mamber, Stephen Edition: 2020Place: EdinburghPublisher: Edinburgh University PressPubDate: 2020PhysDes: xvi, 320 pages : illustratedSubject: FRANCHISES ; ALIEN [...] (UK/US, 1979-92) ; CRITTERS (US, Stephen Herek, 1986) ; DISNEY ; VIDEO GAMES ; STAR WARS [...] (US, 1977-2015) ; KOKAKU KIDOTAI (JA/UK Oshii Mamoru, 1995) ; HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (US, Dean DeBlois & Chris Sanders, 2010) ; TELEVISION ; MOBILE AND ONLINE MEDIA ; VIRTUAL REALITY Summary: As Hollywood shifts towards the digital era, the role of the media franchise has become more prominent. This edited collection, from a range of international scholars, argues that the franchise is now an integral element of American media culture. As such, the collection explores the production, distribution and marketing of franchises as a historical form of media-making – analysing the complex industrial practice of managing franchises across interconnected online platforms.
Examining how traditional media incumbents like studios and networks have responded to the rise of new entrants from the technology sector (such as Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google), the authors take a critical look at the way new and old industrial logics collide in an increasingly fragmented and consolidated mediascape. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781474477741Contents: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements – Foreword / Derek Johnson -- Introduction: The Franchise Era / James Fleury, Bryan Hikari Hartzheim, and Stephen Mamber

Abrams, 2011) Summary: "Jeffrey Jacob "J. J." Abrams (b. 1966) decided to be a filmmaker at the age of eight after his grandfather took him on the back-lot tour of Universal Studios. Throughout his career, Abrams has dedicated his life to storytelling and worked tirelessly to become one of the best-known and most-successful creators in Hollywood. The thirty interviews collected in this volume span Abrams's entire career, covering his many projects from television and film to video games and theater. The volume also includes a 1982 article about Abrams as a teen sensation whose short film High Voltage won the Audience Award at a local film festival and garnered the attention of Steven Spielberg. Beginning his career as a screenwriter on films like Regarding Henry and Armageddon, Abrams transitioned into a TV mogul with hit shows like Alias and Lost. Known for his imaginative work across several genres, from science fiction and horror to action and drama, Abrams's most successful films include Mission: Impossible III; Star Trek; and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which went on to become the highest grossing film of all time in the United States. His production company, Bad Robot, has produced innovative genre projects like Cloverfield and Westworld. Abrams also cowrote a novel with Doug Dorst called S. and, most recently, he produced the Broadway run of The Play That Went Wrong. In conversations with major publications and independent blogs, Abrams discusses his long-standing collaborations with others in the field, explains his affinity for mystery, and describes his approach to creating films like those he gravitated to as a child, revealing that the award-winning director-writer-producer is a fan before he is a filmmaker."-- FROM BLURB.Notes: Includes index, includes filmography, includes chronology.ISBN: 9781496820426Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: Beardless Wonders of Film Making - Robert Young/1982 -- From the Archives: J.

Utilizing a wealth of new material -- including interviews with Campion and her sister and personal writings of Campion's mother -- Fox traces the connections between the filmmaker's complex background and the thematic preoccupations of her films, from her earliest short, Peel, to 2009's Bright Star. He establishes how Campion's deep investment in family relationships informs her aesthetic strategies, revealed in everything from the handling of shots and lighting, to the complex system of symbolic images repeated from one film to the next.

The text takes a distinct approach to understanding Campion's films, positioning them not simply as the work of a cinematic auteur, but as the culmination of a complex set of textual relationships and practices. In doing so, Tincknell argues persuasively that the director's use of adaptation goes well beyond the conventionally respectful approach to literary texts, opting instead for a playful, subversive and challenging re-imagining of the connections between literature, myth, cultural identity and cinema." -- PORTION OF BOOK BLURBNotes: Contains bibliographic references and index -- list of illustrations included as looseleaf in front of bookISBN: 9780230229006Contents: -- pt.

In her film reviews, she dissects the 'mega' filmmakers of our time - Steven Spielberg, Federico Fellini, Akira Kurosawa, Pedro Almodovar, Ken Russell and David Lynch. Definitely not 'one of the boys', Suzanne Moore's attitude to the good and famous is refreshing and irreverent." -Book blurb.Notes: Contains bibliographyISBN: 1852422424Contents: Introduction -- Feminism -- Men: Men against men; Target man; The brothers grim; Toy soldiers or wicked willies; Prince; Torch Song tightrope; Here's looking at you, kid -- Women: Material girl; Hi, I'm Anneka - fly me; Green light spells danger; The odds of getting even; A call to underarms; Fatal fantasies; Happiness is a warm gun; Close-up as the cookie crumbles; Women who read too much; The great awakening; Modern romance; The merry life of Windsor -- Children: Hiding in the wardrobe; Hung-up on Father Christmas; Politics of choice; Birth and death; Maternal melodramas; Eternal childhood; Unhappy families; Heroes in a half-shell -- Fantasy -- Fear: Killjoy culture; Filming by numbers; The death of intimacy; To hell and back; Murder most foul; Electric shocks; Fag end; Soft soap -- Flesh: Good vibrations; Deviant laws; Everyday eroticism; One big act; A screw of convenience?; Missionary sex; The struggle for safe endings -- Faith: Kidnapped by the counter-culture; Sculpting in time; Playing Jesus by night; Nithing but the truth; Always a love story; Jazz junkie -- Power: Pleasure: Understimulation; And now for the news; Film slobs; The metal age; All night long; The money game; Mall-content?; Mini-politics: saying no in public; Belushi's last high; something to stay home about; Reach for the stars; Starship stories -- Politics: Political poison; Junk culture; Never really at home; A problem of identities; Brand loyalty; Sun rises in the east; You can't do the right thing all the time; Great expectations -- Populism: Postmodern paralysis; Britain's macho man; On the side of the man in the street; Against the sober grain -- Postmodernism: Politics of seduction; Getting a bit of the other - the pimps of postmodernism.ID2: 291

USA ; STAR SYSTEM Summary: "Since the earliest days of cinema, the director has combined and controlled all the elements of film-making. His status and independence have waxed and waned but he has always - rightly or wrongly - been credited with a film's success or blamed for its failure. Here is the absorbing account of 140 careers, ranging across the spectrum from studio work-horse to acknowledged genius. The famous director-star partnerships, such as Clarence Brown and Greta Garbo, John Ford and John Wayne, Josef von Sternberg, and Marlene Dietrich, Martin Scorsese and Robert de Niro are all here, as are the unknown but invaluable contract directors, the great innovators, the writer-directors and the rebels. Each entry is generously illustrated with pictures of the directors themselves, as well as scenes from their most characteristic movies. The selection has been made to give a has been made to give a varied and representative view of the director's contribution to the English speaking cinema in general and Hollywood in particular."

They include films from genres as far ranging as musical, film noir, melodrama, comedy, and action adventure. Such movies seduce us with the promise of revealing the reality behind the camera. But, as part of the very industry they supposedly critique, they cannot take us behind the scenes in any true sense. This paradox - the simultaneous debunking and celebration of Hollywood - lies at the heart of the genre. Through close analysis of the best of these films. Ames reveals how the idea of Hollywood is constructed (and constructs itself), particularly through such moments of explicit self-referentiality as the movie-within-a-movie and scenes set in studiosNotes: Includes filmography (p. 227); Includes bibliographical references (p. 238-244) and indexISBN: 0813120187 (cloth : alk. paper)LON: 12952826
