Writing a Watertight Thesis
A Guide to Successful Structure and Defence Mike Bottery, University of Hull, UK & Nigel Wright, University of Hull, UK Writing a Watertight Thesis provides students with a framework for developing a sound structure for their thesis, which will ultimately make it watertight and defensible. The authors show that the key to making a thesis watertight lies in selecting the central research question and the sub-research questions that together collectively answer this main one. They draw on their extensive experience of supervising research students throughout, and include examples of how successful theses have been made watertight along with questions to enable readers to do the same thing to their own thesis.

Porridge
Richard Weight Richard Weight's study of Porridge, the first sitcom to be set in a prison, and the brainchild of writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, places it the context of 1970s social upheavals, exploring how the series satirises structures of class and authority through the 'cons' (Norman Stanley Fletcher, played by Ronnie Barker, and his young cellmate Leonard Arthur Godber, played by Richard Beckinsale) battles to outwit the prison officers Mr Mackay and Mr Barrowclough. Weight also traces Porridge and its sequel Going Straight's influences on the television comedy that followed.

Remembering British Television Audience, Archive and Industry
Kristyn Gorton, University of York, UK & Joanne Garde-Hansen, University of Warwick, UK The authors address how, in an age of convergence, when 'television' no longer means a box in the corner of the living room that we sit and watch together, do we remember television of the past? How do we gather and archive our memories? The authors explore these questions through interviews with tv producers, curators and archivists, and case studies of popular television series and fan communities such as Cold Feet and Doctor Who. Their discussion takes in museum exhibitions, popular televison nostalgia programming and 'vintage' tv websites.

George Clooney
Madhuri Dixit
Paul McDonald, Kings College London, UK This book traces George Clooney's career from hit television medical drama ER to Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), Ocean's Eleven (2001) and beyond. Paul McDonald argues that although Clooney's star persona has many similarities with that of Classical Hollywood movie stars such as Cary Grant, the actor, producer and activist is also a very 21st century transmedia celebrity.

Nandana Bose, FLAME University, India Nandana Bose's study traces Dixit's twenty-five year career, exploring her star persona and her indelible impact on Indian popular culture. With her unusual career trajectory, Dixit has upended pre-existing models of female stardom, by marrying at the peak of her career, withdrawing from the limelight for years, and then returning to extend her career into her early fifties by reinventing herself as a transmedia celebrity for a new generation. Bose examines Dixit's unique talent as a dancer and argues that she represents a traditional figure of femininity that resonated across class and cultural hierarchies at a time of great economic and social change in India.

Virtuoso
Film Performance and the Actor's Magic Murray Pomerance, Independent scholar, Canada Elizabeth Taylor’s electrifying performance in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? The milkshake scene in There Will be Blood. Leonardo DiCaprio’s turn as Arnie in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? What makes these performances so special?

Materialist Media Theory An Introduction
Grant Bollmer, North Carolina State University, USA Our technologies rely on an ever-expanding infrastructure of wires, routers, servers, and hard drives—a proliferation of devices that reshape human interaction and experience beneath conscious knowledge. And yet, in spite of a wealth of research outlining the importance of the material effects of these changes there are few systematic summaries of the theoretical arguments that explain and challenge our contemporary technological reality. Materialist Media Theory: An Introduction is an overview of materialist theories of media and technology, designed to enable students to grapple with questions and problems that arise from media’s material and infrastructural role in shaping culture, introducing, elaborating, and placing in dialogue four specific kinds of materialism: performative materialism, spatio-temporal materialism, neurocognitive materialism, and vital materialism.

Marxist Film Theory and Fight Club Anna Kornbluh, University of Illinois, USA
Anna Kornbluh provides an overview of Marxist approaches to film, with particular attention to three central concepts in Marxist theory in general that have special bearing on film: "the mode of production," "ideology," and "mediation." In explaining how these concepts operate and how they have been used and misused in film studies, the volume employs Fight Club as a case study to exemplify the practice of Marxist film theory. Adapted from a novel by Chuck Palahniuk, the film is a contemporary classic that has lent itself to significant re-interpretation with every shift in the political economic landscape since its debut.

Science Fiction Cinema and 1950s Britain Recontextualizing Cultural Anxiety
Matthew Jones, De Montfort University, UK For the last 50 years, discussion of 1950s science fiction cinema has been dominated by the view that the genre reflected US paranoia about Soviet brainwashing and the nuclear bomb. However, classic films, such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and It Came from Outer Space (1953), were regularly exported to countries across the world. Drawing on extensive archival research, Matthew Jones makes an exciting and important intervention in the field by locating 1950s American science fiction films alongside their domestic counterparts in their British contexts of release and reception.

Luis Buñuel
On Women's Films
Edited by Jo Evans, University College London, UK & Breixo Viejo, University College London, UK
Edited by Ivone Margulies, Hunter College, CUNY, USA & Jeremi Szaniawski, Independent Scholar, New Zealand
A Life in Letters
Luis Buñuel: A Life in Letters provides access for the first time to an annotated English-language version of around 250 of the most important and most widely relevant of these letters. Luis Buñuel (1900-1983) came to international attention with his first films, Un Chien Andalou (with Dalí, 1929) and L’Âge d’Or (1930): two still surprisingly avant-garde films that established his position as the undisputed master of Surrealist filmmaking. He corresponded with some of the most famous writers, directors, actors and artists of his generation: Fellini, Truffaut, Vigo, Aragon, Dalí, Unik, Paz, Cortázar, García Lorca, Fuentes, Deneuve, Moreau, and Rabal.
This edited collection covers a wide array of texts by leading scholars in the field about female filmmakers— trailblazers of second wave feminism such as Agnès Varda, Barbara Loden, Cecilia Mangini, Chantal Akerman, as well as contemporary figures from all around the world. The collection ascertains the continuing value of female auteur perspectives on gender, feminine poetics, forms of embodiment such as endurance, labor and sexuality as well as on new geopolitical, national and transnational formations and history. Analyses of alternate expressions of moving image and genre hybrids broadens the purview on female auteurship and engagement.

The Cinema of Jia Zhangke
Realism and Memory in Chinese Film Cecília Mello, University of São Paulo, Brazil An in-depth analysis of Jia’s unique body of work, from early films such as Platform (2000) to the experimental quasi-documentary 24 City (2008) through to the audacious Mountains May Depart (2015). Mello suggests that Jia's particular form of realism is greatly shaped by other Chinese aesthetic traditions, allowing him to unearth memories both personal and collective, still lingering within the ever-changing landscapes of contemporary China. Interweaving issues relating to cinema, painting, architecture, opera, pop music, literature, geography and history, chapters address the nature of the so-called ‘impure’ cinematographic art and the complex representation of China through the ages.

Edited by Johan Andersson, King's College London, UK & Lawrence Webb, University of Sussex, UK Cinema and cities have become increasingly intertwined in the era of urban branding, cultural industries, and ‘creative cities’. Spanning four decades of US urban history, from decline and crisis in the 1970s and 1980s to neoliberal restructuring, galloping globalization and accelerated gentrification in the 1990s and beyond, this volume considers the complex, evolving relationship between moving image cultures and the urban environment in key cinematic cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Detroit, with case studies of films including Desperately Seeking Susan and Frances Ha.

The Late Films of Claude Chabrol
Genre, Visual Expressionism and Narrational Ambiguity Jacob Leigh, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK As a member of the French New Wave group of filmmakers who first came to prominence at the end of the 1950s, Claude Chabrol has received the least amount of critical and scholarly attention. Jacob Leigh fills this lacuna by focusing on the last nine feature films of Chabrol’s career, exploring his imagery, camerawork, use of sound and music, and performances, revealing the stylistic characteristics of his films while identifying the fundamental thematic issues that lie at the heart of his career-length exploration of the relationship between individuals and societies.

James Russell, De Montfort University, UK & Jim Whalley, De Montfort University, UK Hollywood and the Baby Boom weaves together interviews with leading filmmakers, archival research and the memories of hundreds of ordinary filmgoers to tell the full story of Hollywood’s relationship with the boomers for the first time. The authors demonstrate the profound influence of the boomers on the ways that movies were made, seen and understood since the 1950s. The result is a compelling new account that draws upon an unprecedented range of sources, and offers new insights into the history of American movies.

Thomas Leitch, University of Delaware, USA From William Dickson’s Rip Van Winkle films (1896) to Baz Luhrmann’s big-budget production of The Great Gatsby (2013) and beyond, cinematic adaptations of American literature participate in a rich and fascinating history. Unlike previous studies of literature and film, which tend to privilege particular authors like Edith Wharton and Nathaniel Hawthorne, or particular texts like Moby-Dick, particular literary periods like the American Renaissance, or particular genres like the novel, this volume considers the multiple functions of filmed American literature as a cinematic genre in its own right—one that reflects the specific political and aesthetic priorities of different national and historical cinemas even as it plays a decisive role in defining American literature for a global audience. Additional resources include an online comprehensive chronology of American-Lit film adaptations spanning the history of the cinema, allowing students to follow the main trunk of analysis and to quickly contextualize adaptations in film history, providing opportunities for independent research.

Exploiting East Asian Cinemas Genre, Circulation, Reception
Edited by Ken Provencher, Josai International University, Japan & Mike Dillon, California State University, Fullerton, USA Focusing on networks of circulation, distribution, and reception, this collection treats the exploitation cinemas of East Asia as mobile texts produced, consumed, and in many ways re-appropriated across national (and hemispheric) boundaries. As the processes of globalization have decoupled products from their nations of origin, transnational taste cultures have declared certain works as "art" or "trash," regardless of how those works are received within their native locales. By charting the routes of circulation of notable films from Japan, China, and South Korea, Exploiting East Asian Cinemas contributes to transnationally-accepted formulations of what constitutes "East Asian exploitation cinema."

International Library of the Moving Image A Foreigner’s Cinematic Dream of Japan
Representational Politics and Shadows of War in the Japanese-German Coproduction New Earth (1937) Iris Haukamp, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan In early 1936, a German film team arrived in Japan to participate in a film co-production, intended to show the ‘real’ Japan to the world and to launch Japanese films into international markets. The two directors, one Japanese and the other German, clashed over the authenticity of the represented Japan and eventually directed two versions, The Samurai’s Daughter and New Earth, based on a common script. Drawing on a wide range of Japanese and German original sources, as well as a comparative analysis of the ‘GermanJapanese version’ and the elusive ‘Japanese-English version’, Iris Haukamp reveals the complexities of this international co-production.

Reimagining the Promised Land
Israel and America in Post-war Hollywood Cinema Rodney Wallis, University of New South Wales, Australia While Israel has seemingly been a minor presence in Hollywood cinema, Reimagining the Promised Land argues that there is a long history of Hollywood deploying images of Israel as a means of articulating an idealized notion of American national identity. This argument is developed through readings of The Ten Commandments, Black Sunday, The Delta Force, and more. The mobilization of Israel that pervades this eclectic group of films effectively demonstrates one of the more surreptitious ways in which Hollywood has historically constructed and circulated dominant notions of American national identity.

Orientalism and Monstrosity in Horror Cinema Basil Glynn, Middlesex University, UK This book explores the history of the Mummy movie, tracing the Mummy’s development on screen from silent cinema, through Universal Studio’s iconic presentation of the monster, to Hammer Horror’s reimaginings. Basil Glynn argues that the Mummy genre needs to be understood in terms of changing discourses of race (in particular Orientalism), trangressive romance and monstrosity in order to appreciate its continued appeal to global industries and audiences in the face of critical hostility or indifference.

Fiction and Imagination in Early Cinema
Making Sense of Mind-Game Films
Narrative Complexity, Embodiment, and the Senses Simin Nina Littschwager, Independent Scholar, New Zealand Mind-game films have been a prominent phenomenon of the cinematic landscape from 1990-2010, when films like The Sixth Sense and Fight Club became critical and commercial successes. With their unreliable narrators and ambiguous twist endings, these films challenge traditional ways of narrative comprehension. While most scholarship has treated these complex films as puzzles that audiences solve with their cognitive skills, Simin Nina Littschwager offers a fresh perspective by suggesting that they appeal to the body and the senses in equal measures and exploring how these complex narratives take their (embodied) spectators with them into such crises.

A New Film History
Mario Slugan, University of Warwick, UK By combining philosophical aesthetics and new cinema history, Mario Slugan investigates how our default imaginative engagement with film changed over the first two decades of cinema. He elucidates not only the importance of imagination for the understanding of early cinema, but also contributes to our understanding of what it means for a representational medium to produce fictions. Specifically, he argues that cinema provides a better model for understanding fiction than literature.

Adaptation for Screenwriters
"Compelling at every turn, The Cinema of Things shows how the character of posthuman condition in which we live owes much to the seventh art. From Méliès to Andrew Stanton, or Feuillade to Ridley Scott, cinema cheerfully turns human subjects into prosthetic devices, disposable commodities, or useless waste. In dazzling readings of classical and contemporary features, Ezra discerns the unspoken or disavowed dimensions of films that range from the Marx Brothers to Avatar. The book counts among the most powerful, courageously written, and urgently needed studies of cinema over the last decade."

Film Thinks Roland Barthes and Film Signs and Affects
Patrick Ffrench, King's College London, UK Suspicious of what he called the spectator’s "sticky" adherence to the screen, Roland Barthes had a cautious attitude towards cinema. Falling into a hypnotic trance, the philosopher warned, an audience can become susceptible to ideology and "myth". In this book, Patrick Ffrench explains that although Barthes was wary of film, he engaged deeply with it. Barthes’ thought was, Ffrench argues, punctuated by the experience of watching films – and likewise his philosophy of photography, culture, semiotics, ethics and theatricality have been immensely important in film theory. Focusing particularly on the essays ‘The Third Meaning’ and ‘On Leaving the Cinema’ and the acclaimed book Camera Lucida, Ffrench examines Barthes’ writing and traces a persistent interest in films and directors, from Fellini and Antonioni, to Eisenstein, the Marx Brothers and Hitchcock.

Capturing Digital Media
Perfection and Imperfection in Contemporary Film and Television Thomas J. Connelly, Ponoma College, USA Why are blockbuster filmmakers continuing to shoot their movies on celluloid in the digital age of cinema? Are these filmmakers choosing the photochemical process of celluloid images purely for aesthetics purposes? Or could their preference for celluloid have something to do with analogue’s intimate connection to the fragility of the human? Capturing Digital Media critically investigates the relationship between the perfection of the digital form and the imperfection of the human, and how this dichotomy is shaping aesthetic expression, spectatorship, subjectivity, and media ownership in recent cinema and television.

The Comic Event
Comedic Performance from the 1950s to the Present Judith Roof, Rice University, USA The Comic Event approaches comedy as dynamic phenomenon that involves the gathering of elements of performance, signifiers, timings, tones, gestures, previous comic bits, and other self-conscious structures into an "event" that triggers, by virtue of a "cut," an expected/unexpected resolution. Using examples from mainstream comedy, The Comic Event progresses from the smallest comic moment—jokes, bits—to the more complex—caricatures, sketches, sit-coms, parody films, and stand-up routines. In seeing comedy as a gathering event, Roof creates a theory of comedy that explains the operation of a broad array of distinct comic occasions.

John Hutnyk, Ton Duc Thang University, Vietnam "Hutnyk has written a book that keeps faith with the project of radical critique.

Global South Asia on Screen tests every term in its title, working through an array of films, TV series and other media with a forensic eye that disconcerts and excites. Hutnyk’s book challenges us to understand the reverb of colonial pasts and postcolonial critiques in networked, politically-narrowed presents."

Gender and Media in the Broadcast Age
Women’s Radio Programming at the BBC, CBC and ABC Justine Lloyd, Macquarie University, Australia Gender and Media in the Broadcast Age demonstrates how women as media producers and audiences in three countries with public service broadcasters (UK, Canada and Australia) have contributed to changes in our understandings of public and private. Women’s participation in media continues to be a key challenge to notions of the public sphere and the book concludes that profound changes initiated in the broadcast era are unfinished in the age of digital media. Justine Lloyd offers rich and valuable evidence of the dynamic relationship between media texts, producers and audiences that is relevant to contemporary debates about a growing gender ‘apartheid’ in a mediated culture.

Ayers’s innovate close-reading of popular, mass-market media objects—incorporating film, television, and video games—reveals the complex ways that these popular media fantasize about a transhuman future while also subtly acknowledging the significant problems of that fantasy.

Group ZERO and the Development of New Media in Postwar European Art Witness of Phenomenon articulates a fresh examination of the German Group Zero—Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, and Günter Uecker—and other new tendency artists, who rejected painting and introduced new art media in postwar Europe. They transformed the visual arts from the inanimate objet d’art to a sensory experience by adopting the ascendant philosophy of Phenomenology as their conceptual foundation. Drawing from a decade of research on unpublished archives of the artists and critics of this period, this publication positions Group ZERO as a catalytic art moment in the transition from modern to contemporary art.

British Radio Drama, 1945-1963 Hugh Chignell, Bournemouth University, UK
British Radio Drama, 1945-1963 reveals the quality and range of avant-garde British radio drama. As young generations of radio producers broadcast the work of Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco post-World War II, this 'theatre of the absurd' triggered a renaissance of writing and production featuring the work of Giles Cooper, Rhys Adrian and Harold Pinter, as well as the launch of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Hugh Chignell places this 'golden age' of BBC’s history in both the broader context of British post-war culture, as norms of morality and behavior were re-negotiated in the shadow of the Cold War, and the transnational cultural flows established by the internationalism of much radio drama.

Expanded Internet Art
Twenty-First Century Artistic Practice and the Informational Milieu Ceci Moss, Scripps College, USA Expanded Internet Art is the first comprehensive art historical study of "expanded" internet art practices. Charting the rise of a multidisciplinary approach to online artistic practice in the past decade, the text discusses recent currents in contemporary artistic practice that parallel the explosion of the internet through advances such as social media, smart phones, and faster bandwidth. Internet art is no longer determined solely by its existence on the web; rather, contemporary artists are making more art about informational culture using various methods of both online and offline means.

Space, Time and the Politics of Smart Objects James Ash theorizes how smart objects, understood as Internet-connected and sensor-enabled devices, are altering users’ experiences of their environments. Rather than networks connected by lines of transmission, smart objects generate phases, understood as spacetimes that modulate the spatio-temporal intelligibility of both humans and non-humans. Examining a range of objects and services and drawing upon the work of Martin Heidegger, Gilbert Simondon, and Bruno Latour, Ash develops a conceptual vocabulary to contend that smart objects do more than just enable a world of increased corporate control and surveillance: they also provide the tools to expose and reorder the very logics and procedures that created them.

From Sit-Ins to #revolutions Media and the Changing Nature of Protests
Edited by Olivia Guntarik, RMIT University, Australia & Victoria Grieves-Williams, University of Sydney, Australia As it closely examines the role that social and digital media play in enabling protests, this book probes the interplay between historical and contemporary protests, emancipation and empowerment, and online and offline protest activities. Drawn from academic and activist communities, contributors look beyond often-studied mass action events in the US, UK, and Australia to also incorporate perspectives from overlooked regions such as Bahrain, Zimbabwe, and Romania. From illustrating the allure of political action to a closer look at how digital activists use new technologies to push for reform, this volume sheds new light on key questions within activism, from campaign organization to direct action.

Digital Media Ecologies
Entanglements of Content, Code and Infrastructure Sy Taffel, Massey University, New Zealand Digital Media Ecologies re-envisions the methodological approach of media ecology to go beyond the metaphor of a symbolic information environment that exists alongside a material world of tantalum, turtles and tornados. It illustrates the social, cultural, political and environmental impacts of contemporary media assemblages through examples that include mining conflict-sustaining minerals, iOS jailbreaking, and the ecological footprint of contemporary computing infrastructures. Alongside foregrounding the deleterious social and environmental impacts of digital technologies, the book considers numerous ways that these issues are being tackled by a heterogeneous array of activists, academics, hackers, scientists and citizens using the same technological assemblages that ostensibly cause these problems.

Adventure Games Playing the Outsider
Anastasia Salter, University of Central Florida, USA, Aaron A. Reed, Independent Scholar, USA & John Murray, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA The genre of adventure games is frequently overlooked in favor of their first-person shooter and role-playing game counterparts. While often forgotten by both the industry and academia, adventure games have had (and continue to have) a wide influence on contemporary games. In this examination of heirs to the genre’s legacy, Adventure Games: Playing the Outsider examines the genre from multiple perspectives, connecting technical analysis with critical commentary and social context.

Approaches to Videogame Discourse
Rage Inside the Machine
The Prejudice of Algorithms, and How to Stop the Internet Making Bigots of Us All Robert Elliott Smith Frighteningly often, the influence of technology on our lives goes unchallenged by citizens and governments. We comfort ourselves with the refrain that technology has no morals. But is this statement actually true? Rage Inside the Machine reveals the mounting evidence that the mechanical actors in our lives do indeed have, or at least express, morals: they’re just not the morals of the progressive modern society that we imagined we were moving towards. This book demonstrates how non-scientific ideas are encoded into our technological infrastructure, challenging the assumption that technology is an apolitical, amoral force.

Phantasmal Spaces
Archetypical Venues in Computer Games Mathias Fuchs, Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany Recognizable, recurring physical settings—spatial archetypes—exist in video games, serving not only as points of reference and orientation, but also as implicit sources of content. Each chapter of Phantasmal Spaces brings to the fore an archetype commonly found in old and new digital games, covering the ruin, the cave, the cloud, the portal, the road, the forest, and the island. Each of these is analyzed through the perspectives of aesthetics, games technology, psychoanalysis, and intertextuality. Gridding these tropes together with these analytical lenses provides the reader with a systematic framework to understand the complex considerations at play in evocative game design.

Norman McLaren Between the Frames
Nichola Dobson, Edinburgh College of Art, UK Animator Norman McLaren is best known for his experimental films using pioneering techniques and his work as founder of the animation department of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), but little mention is made of his Scottish heritage or his personal life.

By using archive material to discover his personal identity and close readings of his films, Norman McLaren rediscovers one of the most important figures in animation history.
