"Categorized by genre, and featuring movies by master directors such as Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman, Frank Capra, and John Ford, as well as relative newcomers such as Chris Eyre and Christopher Nolan, Adaptations offers insight into the process of turning a short story into a screenplay, one that, when successful, doesn't take drastic liberties with the text upon which it is based, but doesn't mirror its source material too closely either."--BOOK JACKET.Notes: Also issued onlineISBN: 1400053145Contents: -- Jerry and Molly and Sam / Raymond Carver -- Blow-up / Julio Corta´zar -- Your Arkansas traveler / Budd Schulberg -- Rear window / Cornell Woolrich -- The sentinel / Arthur C.

What role does our emotional involvement play in this process? What makes the aesthetic power of cinema ethically significant? Can movies 'do ethics'? Cinema Ethics : Exploring Ethical Experiences through Film addresses these questions by examining the idea of cinema as a medium of ethical experience with the power to provoke emotional engagement and philosophical thinking. In a clear and engaging manner, Robert Sinnerbrink examines the key philosophical approaches to ethics in contemporary film theory and philosophy using detailed case studies of cinematic ethics across different genres, styles and filmic traditions. Written in a lucid and lively style that will engage both specialist and non-specialist readers, this book is ideal for use in the academic study of philosophy and film. Key features include annotated suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter and a filmography of movies useful for teaching and researching cinematic ethics.

It displays the rich diversity of film production in the country, and in doing so highlights a number of specific contexts - Maori, documentary and short filmmaking, literary adaptations, the development of the national Film Commission and Archive, marketing and censorship, in addition to explorations into the place of bicultural relations, spirituality, masculinity and disability - that have created a cinema of global significance. Featuring critical accounts of internationally-acclaimed features like The Piano and Once Were Warriors, as well as the growth of the national infrastructure that made such films possible, Contemporary New Zealand Cinema is the most thorough study available of a vibrant filmmaking culture. The book also includes a fully comprehensive filmography detailing all New Zealand feature and television films."--BOOK JACKETNotes: Filmography: p.[239]-253

Filmed thought : cinema as reflective form / Robert B. Pippin Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2020.

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.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9780226672007Contents: Section I: Cinema As Reflective Form 1.

USA Summary: "America is awash in talk. Loud talk. Angry talk. Conspiratorial talk. This cacophony of rumor, opinion, and invective has produced a high-decibel revolution that is transforming the nature of politics and journalism. How these television and radio talk shows have become so powerful and why we should be concerned about them is the subject of Howard Kurtz's fascinating and maddening new book, Hot Air. With the penetrating analysis that has distinguished him as one of the nation's most influential media journalists, Kurtz goes behind the scenes to explore the allure and impact of America's biggest mouths: Rush Limbaugh, Phil Donahue, Michael Kinsley and Don Imus.
Kurtz also goes backstage at Nightline and Larry King Live, two outposts of sanity, and describes how such programs are put together. He takes an amusing tour of the airwaves with provocateur Howard Stern and a corps of influential local hosts. He explores the bizarre world of daytime talk and explains why civilized conversation has given way to a procession of freaks and food fights. Along the way, Kurtz shows how journalism is threatened by some of these shows and illustrates how the inherent negativity of talk on the airwaves corrodes the political process...." -- IntroductionNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 391-405) and indexISBN: 0465030742Contents: 1.

DeMille, 1956) ; RED RIVER (US, Howard Hawks, 1948) Summary: When we think of the films of the 1950s, we inevitably remember the confident swagger of John Wayne, the suave sophistication of Cary Grant, and the emotional intensity of Marlon Brando. But today's culture critics see in the decade a period when heterosexual/homosexual dualism came to dominate the representation of American masculinity. Masked Men documents how movies of the 1950s represented masculinity as a multiple masquerade. Hollywood depicted the sexual anxieties of the domesticated breadwinner, the repudiation of wartime homoerotic male bonding, the exhibitionism of muscular bodies, the transvestic connotations of boyishness, and the playboy bachelor apartment. These presentations challenged the postwar ideal of the typical American male, that omnipresent and seemingly invisible Man in a Gray Flannel SuitNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p.

A series of original essays focus on a range of programs, from The Daily Show to South Park, Da Ali G Show to The Colbert Report, The Boondocks to Saturday Night Live, Lil' Bush to Chapelle's Show, along with Internet DIY satire and essays on British and Canadian Satire. They all offer insights into what today's class of satire tells us about the current state of politics, of television, of citizenship, all the while suggesting what satire adds to the political realm that news and documentaries cannot.ISBN: 978-0-8147-3199-4Language: EnglishContents: --Foreword by David Marc-- Part 1 Post 9/11, Post Modern, or Just Post Network? -- 1 The State of Satire, the Satire of State /Jonathon Gray, Jeffrey P.

Talking with television : woman, talk shows and modern self-reflexivity / Helen Wood Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2009.
Call No: 451-02 WOOAuthor: Wood, Helen Place: UrbanaPublisher: University of Illinois PressPubDate: 2009PhysDes: xi, 238 p . ; 24 cmSeries: Feminist studies and media cultureSubject: FEMINISM AND TV ; SOCIOLOGY AND TV ; TALK SHOWS ; BAHTIN, MIHAIL ; MONTGOMERY, MARIAN ; SAUSSURE, FERDINAND DE ; OPRAH WINFREY SHOW, THE [TV] (US, 1986- ) Summary: Focusing on the political and everyday nature of talk, Talking with Television explores the relationship between talk on TV, talk about TV, and, most dynamically, talk with TV. By observing and analyzing the daily viewing habits of a dozen women viewers, Helen Wood captures how television dynamically unfolds alongside the viewers' own personal opinions, experiences, and life stories. She interprets these experiences as daily rituals of self-reflexivity, focusing on the performance of gender as a doubling of place in contemporary conditions of modernity. Offering a critical analysis of the ritual communication of talk television, Wood argues for a more sustained focus on the mechanics of mediated interaction in media studies, particularly as the field attempts to theorize the characterisitcs of 'old' and 'new' media. Directly challenging the fundamental assumption that new media forms are uniquely interactive, Talking with television reveals that televisual styles, particularly talk-based TV, have always sought to encourage a participatory relationship with viewers at home. -- BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p.
