Nichols argues that the history of social representation in film, television, and video requires an understanding of the fate of both contemporary and older work. Traditionally, film history and cultural studies sought to place films in a historical context. Nichols proposes a new goal: to examine how specific works, old and new, promote or suppress a sense of historical consciousness. Examining work from Eisenstein's Strike to the Rodney King videotape, Nichols interrelates issues of formal structure, viewer response, and historical consciousness. Simultaneously, Blurred Boundaries radically alters the interpretative frameworks offered by neoformalism and psychoanalysis: Comprehension itself becomes a social act of transformative understanding rather than an abstract mental process, while the use of psychoanalytic terms like desire, lack, or paranoia to make social points metaphorically yields to vocabulary designed expressly for historical interpretation - such as project, intentionality, and the social imaginary. An important departure from prevailing trends in many fields, Blurred Boundaries offers new directions for the study of visual culture." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 149-182) and indexISBN: 0253340640 (alk. paper); 0253209005 (paper : alk. paper)LON: 10767942

The image decade : television documentary, 1965-1975 / by Charles Montgomery Hammond, Jr New York: Hastings House, c1981.
Call No: 761 HAMAuthor: Hammond, Charles Montgomery Place: New YorkPublisher: Hastings HousePubDate: c1981PhysDes: 285 p. : ports. ; 25 cmSeries: Communication arts books; Studies in public communicationSubject: CBS ; DOCUMENTARIES ; KENNEDY FAMILY ON TV ; NBC TELEVISION NETWORK ; NEWS PROGRAMMES ; NIXON [RICHARD M.] ON TV ; NON-FICTION PROGRAMMES ; POLITICS AND TV ; SOCIAL PROBLEMS ON TV ; VIETNAM WAR ON TV Summary: "During the volatile years of 1965-1975, television emerged as the single most potent medium for bringing truth to the American public. Unforgettably vivid images and thought-provoking, soul-stirring commentary came right into the living room, creating a new and exciting awareness of world events. Documentary became a form of television that could best speak the truth.
The Image Decade describes the evolution of commercial network relevision news and theme documentary during those turbulent years, offering theory, criticism, history, and practical illustrations. Provocative analyses of the work of outstanding documentary producers and reporters at NBC, CBS and ABC are provided, revealing how these men and women brought the great domestic issues, scientific advances and space explorations, war stories from Vietnam, the Middle East and Northern Ireland, and the successive power struggles in Washington into the American home.
Throughout this period, events both wonderful and terrible took place all over the world. Television was there to capture them, with the result that newsgathering became an essential public service offered by the networks. Television documentary took this service one step further by presenting an innovative visual manifestation of history. With its lively descriptions and informative appraisals, The Image Decade sheds a bright light on the major part television news and documentary has played in our lives." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 267-269ISBN: 0803834322 (pbk.); 0803834314LON: 1892916URL status: URL: 'http://-'

Call No: 79ANZ CRIAuthor: Cribbin, John Source: ATPlace: SydneyPublisher: FontanaPubDate: 1985PhysDes: 135 p. : ill. (some col.), facsims., maps, ports. ; 28 cm.Subject: ART DIRECTION ; HISTORY AND TV. AUSTRALIA ; LOCATION SHOOTING. AUSTRALIA ; PRE-PRODUCTION. AUSTRALIA ; PRODUCTION, TV. AUSTRALIA ; TELEVISION. AUSTRALIA ; WAR ON TV ; BURROWES, GEOFF ; DIXON, JOHN ; MILLER, GEORGE ; ANZACS [TV] (AT, Pino Amenta, John Dixon & George Miller, 1985) Summary: "They were the tallest soldiers of any army; the only all-volunteer fighting force and the best paid of all the troops in the Great War. Yet in 1914 when they marched away, they were considered a rag-tag lot, probably too ill-disciplined to be useful in war. The proud but tragic fiasco of Gallipoli changed that perception [...] Now the Great War is the backdrop of ANZACS, one of the most dramatic and important series ever made for Australian television. In five parts the ANZACS brings to life forgotten aspects of an immense conflict, and the men - and women too - who were swept up or overtaken by it. Here, vividly illustrated in text and in pictures, is an account of how that series was made; the powerful and moving stories told; the stars who portray the dignity, bravery and poignancy of yesterday's heroes."--BOOK BLURBNotes: "The major 9 network television series (produced by Geoff Burrowes and John Dixon)'--CoverISBN: 000636893XDonation: donated by the family of Wayne Levy, 2006
