book		Cinema and cultural modernity / Gill Branston Philadelphia: Open University Press, 2000. Call No: 62 BRA Author: Branston, Gill Source: US Place: Philadelphia Publisher: Open University Press PubDate: 2000 PhysDes: p. cm Series: Issues in cultural and media studies Subject: POPULAR CULTURE AND THE CINEMA; MODERNISM AND THE CINEMA; AUTHORSHIP; STAR SYSTEM; AUDIENCES; GLOBALISATION; CAPITALISM AND THE CINEMA; CLASS AND THE CINEMA; WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA; INTERNET AND THE CINEMA; PERCEPTION; NARRATIVE IN FILMS; GENDER AND THE CINEMA; TYPE CHARACTERS IN FILMS; STUDIO SYSTEM; GAZE IN FILMS; CONSUMERISM AND THE CINEMA; MULVEY, LAURA; THELMA & LOUISE (US, Ridley Scott, 1991) Summary: "Cinema and Cultural Modernity carves a path through the complex histories and issues of film and cinema studies and vividly explores these in their social and political contexts. It focuses on selected topics such as Hollywood's histories and how authorship, stardom and globalized blockbuster cinema, its pleasures and disappointments, might be thought out. Gill Branston outlines the need for cinema study that is both sensitive to the formal 'textiness' of films, but also less anxious about arguing for its position within broad agendas of representation. She shows how such debates and histories might connect both the very real pleasures of 'consuming' cinema with the need for a critical politics to address the persistent social and cultural inequalities of modernity." -- BOOK COVER Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 033520077X (HB); 0335200761 (PB) LON: 21519736 More info

In the first part of the book, he looks at the strategies Hollywood has employed to deflect or absorb the ideological challenges posed by the feminist critique of contemporary American society. He demonstrates the ways in which mainstream movies and television programs, no matter how unconventional or "subversive" they may appear, produce and reproduce familiar images of sexuality and gender identity. In the second part, Green highlights instances in which reproduction of the dominant ideology is less successful by examining several recent cinematic genres - the female action movie, the rape-revenge cycle, and the new film noir - that portray the real ambiguities of a social order in upheaval; As a male consumer of the cultural commodities being discussed, the author offers a perspective on American films and television different from that of most other feminist critics Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p.

Beginning with a penetrating study of five cornfield sequences - including The Wizard of Oz, Arizona Dream, and Signs - Murray Pomerance journeys through a vast array of cinematic moments, technical methods, and laborious collaborations from the 1930s to the 200s to show how the viewer's experience of "reality" is put in context, challenged, and wilfully engaged. Four meditations deal with "reality effects" from different philosophical and technical angles. "Vivid Rivals" assesses active participation and critical judgement in seeing effects with works such as Defiance, Cloverfield, Knowing, and Thelma & Louise. "The Two of Us" considers double placement and doubled experience with films such as The Prestige, Niagara and A Stolen Life. "Being There" discusses cinematic performance and the problems of believability, highlighting such films as Gran Torino, The Manchurian Candidate, In Harm's Way, and other films. "Fairy Land" explores the art of scenic backing, focusing on the fictional world of Brigadoon, which borrows from both hard-edged realism and evocative landscape painting." - BOOK BLURB Notes: Contains illustrations, bibliographic references and index ISBN: 9780813560588 More info

Examining a new movement – termed by Creed as Feminist New Wave Cinema – The Return of the Monstrous-Feminine explores a significant change that has occurred over the past two decades in the representation of the monstrous-feminine in visual discourse. The Monstrous-Feminine is a figure in revolt on a journey through the dark night of abjection. Taking particular interest in women directors who create the figure of the Monstrous-Feminine, in cinema that foregrounds everyday horrors in addition to classic horror, Creed looks at a range of diverse films including The Babadook, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Nomadland, Carol, Raw, Revenge, and the television series The Handmaid’s Tale. These films center on different forms of revolt, from inner revolt to social, supernatural and violent revolt, which appear in Feminist New Wave Cinema. These relate in the main to the emergence of a range of social protest movements that have gathered momentum in the new millennium and given voice to new theoretical and critical discourses. These include: third and fourth wave feminism, the #MeToo movement, queer theory, race theory, the critique of anthropocentrism and human animal theory. These theoretical discourses have played a key role in influencing Feminist New Wave Cinema whose films are distinctive, stylish and diverse. This is an essential companion to the original classic text and is ideal for students in Gender and Media, Gender and Horror, Gender and Film and Feminist Film theory courses. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9780367478162 Contents: Introduction: The Monstrous-Feminine In Feminist New Wave Cinema -- The Monstrous Mother As Magician: The Babadook -- Unwomen: Dare To Revolt – The Handmaid’s Tale, Film & Tv Series -- #Metoo: Rape & Revolt: Promising Young Woman, Revenge, The Nightingale. -- The Monstrous-Feminine Forgets Her Manners: Nomadland, Carol, The Assistant -- Vampires, Feminism & Ethnicity: A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night -- The Monstrous-Feminine As Femme Fatale, Alien & Black: Under The Skin -- Queering The Monstrous-Feminine: Jennifer’s Body, The Lure, Thelma -- Female Cannibalism & Eating The Other: Raw, Trouble Everyday, In My Skin -- Furiosa: Eco-Horror & The Woman Warrior: Spoor, Woman At War, Mad Max: Fury Road – Filmography -- Index More info
