J. Hoberman, ﬁlm critic, journalist and author, New York, USA J. Hoberman's study of Duck Soup (1933) traces the film's reputation, from the initial disappointment of its release, to its rise to cult status in the 1960s when the Marx’s anarchic, anti-establishment humor seemed again timely. Hoberman places Duck Soup in its cinematic context, alongside analogous comedies—Dr. Strangelove (1964), the Beatles films, Morgan! (1966), The President’s Analyst (1967) and The Producers (1968). It attained canonical stature as a touchstone for Woody Allen and would be recognized by the Library of Congress in the 1990s.

Trainspotting

Murray Smith, University of Kent, UK In 1996 Trainspotting was the biggest thing in British culture. Brilliantly and aggressively marketed, it crossed into the mainstream despite being a black comedy set against the backdrop of heroin addiction in Edinburgh. The film is crucial for understanding British culture in the context of devolution and the rise of ‘Cool Britannia’. In his afterword to this new edition, Murray Smith reﬂects on the original film 25 years after its release, and its 2017 sequel T2: Trainspotting also directed by Danny Boyle. Smith also considers Boyle's subsequent directorial career, with highlights including Slumdog Millionaire (2008) and the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony.

Divergent Tracks

How Three Film Communities Revolutionized Digital Film Sound Vanessa Theme Ament, Ball State University, USA Offers a unique perspective through the author's personal experience of the three main American sound communities of Hollywood, New York, and the San Francisco Bay Area's transition from analogue to digital postproduction in the 1990s. Using three case studies of essential films - Barton Fink, Bram Stoker's Dracula and The English Patient - it becomes clear the 1990s was an era in which sound professionals became more visible as artists, collaborated in sound design authorship, and inﬂuenced this digital transition to better accomodate their needs and desires in their work.

Fashioning James Bond

Costume, Gender & Identity in the World of 007 Llewella Chapman, University of East Anglia, UK Fashioning James Bond provides the first full-length critical study of the costume and fashion evident in the James Bond films. Its methodological approach includes research generated from archives, close textual analysis of the costumes and fashion brands presented within the James Bond films, interviews with families of tailors and shirtmakers who assisted in creating the ‘look’ and fashion for the character of James Bond, and critical reception and the marketing strategies for the films, promoted to create a ‘James Bond lifestyle’. In it, Chapman questions why costumes are an important tool for analysing and evaluating film, both in terms of the development of gender in the James Bond film franchise and how it evokes the desire in audiences to become part of a specific lifestyle construct through the wearing of fashions as seen on screen. It researches the agency of the costume department, director, producer and actor in creating the look and characterisation of James Bond, the villains, the Bond girls and the henchmen who inhibit the world of 007. In doing so, this book contributes to the emerging critical literature surrounding the combined areas of film, fashion, gender and James Bond.

Gender and Early Television

"Guilty Pleasures"

Sarah Arnold, Maynooth University, Ireland

Alice Guilluy, London Film Academy, UK

Mapping Women’s Role in Emerging US and British Media, 1850-1950 Sarah Arnold traces women’s relationship to the new medium of television, arguing that women played a crucial role in its development both as producers and as audiences long before the ‘golden age’ of television in the 1950s. As keen consumers of media, women also helped promote television to the public by performing as ‘television girls’. Additionally, women worked as directors, producers, technical crew and announcers. Beginning with the emergence of media entertainment in the mid-19th century and culminating in the rise of the post-war television industries, the author shows that, all along the way, women had a stake in television.

Alice Guilluy examines the reception of contemporary Hollywood romantic comedy in Britain, France and Germany. She offers a new look at the romantic comedy genre through a qualitative study of its consumption by actual audiences, focusing on Sweet Home Alabama (2002, dir. Andy Tennant). In doing so, she attempts to challenge traditional critiques of the genre as trite “escapism” at best, and dangerous “guilty pleasure” at worst. This book makes a valuable contribution to scholarly debates on gender representation in the contemporary romantic comedy, and brings a fresh approach to genre studies through its focus on audience research.

Let's Go Stag!

A History of Pornographic Film from the Invention of Cinema to 1970 Dan Erdman, Media Burn Archive, Chicago, USA Let's Go Stag! reveals the secrets of the underground world of hardcore pornographic "stag films". Using the archives of civic groups, law enforcement, bygone government studies and similarly neglected evidence, archivist Dan Erdman reconstructs the means by which stag films were produced, distributed and exhibited, and also demonstrates the way in which these practices changed with the times, eventually paving the way for the pornographic explosion of the 1970s and beyond.

Limit Cinema

Transgression and the Nonhuman in Contemporary Global Film Chelsea Birks, University of British Columbia & Simon Fraser University, Canada Limit Cinema explores how contemporary global cinema represents the relationship between humans and nature. During the 21st century this relationship has become increasingly fraught due to proliferating social and environmental crises; recent films from Lars von Trier’s Melancholia (2011) to Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) address these problems by reﬂecting or renegotiating the terms of our engagement with the natural world. In this spirit, this book proposes a new film philosophy for the Anthropocene. It argues that certain contemporary films attempt to transgress the limits of human experience, and that such ‘limit cinema’ has the potential to help us rethink our relationship with nature. Posing a new and timely alternative to the process philosophies that have become orthodox in the fields of film philosophy and ecocriticism, Limit Cinema revitalizes the philosophy of Georges Bataille and puts forward a new reading of his notion of transgression in the context of our current environmental crisis.

F I L M & M E D I A – European & World Cinema

Thinking Cinema

To that end, Limit Cinema brings Bataille into conversation with more recent discussions in the humanities that seek less anthropocentric modes of thought, including posthumanism, speculative realism, and other theories associated with the nonhuman turn. The problems at stake are global in scale, and the book therefore engages with cinema from a range of national and cultural contexts. From Ben Wheatley’s psychological thrillers to Nettie Wild’s eco-documentaries, limit cinema pushes against the boundaries of thought and encourages an ethical engagement with perspectives beyond the human.

The Mad Max Effect

The Politics of Nordsploitation

James Newton, University of Kent, UK

Pietari Kääpä, University of Stirling, UK & Tommy Gustafsson, Linnaeus University, Sweden

Road Warriors in International Exploitation Cinema By analysing the individual films of the Mad Max series, this book examines how the kinetic energy and aesthetic design of a number of divergent exploitation films filters into the Mad Max series and resulted in a fresh cycle of international low-budget postapocalyptic movies that appeared on the new home video markets in the 1980s. The first in-depth academic study of the extraordinary journey of Mad Max from its premiere in 1979 to the Acadamy Award success of 2015's Fury Road, The Mad Max Effect reveals how a humble low-budget Australian action movie came from the cultural margins of exploitation cinema to have an indelible impact on the broader media landscape.

History, Industry, Audiences

The Politics of Nordsploitation takes a transnational approach to exploring films in their industrial contexts, exploring them as not only political manifestations of domestic considerations but also to position Nordic exploitation film cultures in a global context. The book provides a film historical exposition of a largely ignored film cultural movement but in addition, on a more retrospective level of analysis, it outlines how inﬂuential these films have been. The majority of the book focuses on key patterns and periods in the 1970-90s, but also traces the impact these films have had on textual tactics and industrial practices of contemporary filmmakers.

Performing Femininity

Woman as Performer in Early Russian Cinema Rachel Morley, University College London, UK In this book, author Rachel Morley explores the near ubiquitous role of the female performer in the cinema of pre-Revolutionary Russia. From the first feature film, Romashkov's Stenka Razin (1908), through the sophisticated melodramas of the 1910s, to Viskovsky's The Last Tango (1918). In doing so, Morley argues that early Russian filmmakers used the character of the female performer to explore key contemporary concerns from changing conceptions of femininity and the emergence of the so-called New Woman, to broader questions concerning gender identity.

Kulturfilms from the Far North to Central Asia Oksana Sarkisova, Central European University, EU This book examines the non-fictional representations of Soviet borderlands from the Far North to the Northern Caucasus and Central Asia from 1925-1940. Oksana Sarkisova rediscovers films by Vladimir Erofeev, Vladimir Shneiderov, and other filmmakers who helped construct an image of Soviet ethnic diversity. Using unexplored archival evidence, Sarkisova examines constructions of exoticism, backwardness and Soviet-driven modernity through these underexplored historical travelogues. In doing so, she highlights changing ethnographic conventions of representation, looks at studies of diversity despite the homogenising ambitions of the Soviet project, and reexamines methods of blending reality and fiction as part of both ideological and educational agendas.

World Cinema The Spanish Fantastic

Contemporary Filmmaking in Horror, Fantasy and Sci-fi Shelagh Rowan-Legg, Independent researcher, Canada

Realism in Greek Cinema

From the Post-War Period to the Present Vrasidas Karalis, University of Sydney, Australia

Shelagh Rowan-Legg investigates the rise of the unique new wave of genre films from Spain, and how they have recycled, reshaped and renewed the stunning visual tropes, wild narratives and imaginative other worlds inherent to an increasingly inﬂuential cinematic field. She argues that the emergence of the Spanish ‘fantastic’ is part of a new trend of post-national cinema, led by the fantastic, which approaches the national boundaries of cinema with an exciting sense of ﬂuidity. This new cinema has given voice to a generation, both beholden to and yet breaking away from their historical and cultural roots.

Focusing on the works of six major filmmakers active from just after WWII to the present day, this book examines the development of cinema as an art form in the social and political contexts of Greece. Insights on gender in film, minority cinemas, stylistic richness and the representation of historical trauma are afforded by close readings of the work and life of such luminaries as Michael Cacoyannis, Nikos Koundouros, Yannis Dalianidis, Theo Angelopoulos, Antouanetta Angelidi, Yorgos Lanthimos, AthenaRachel Tsangari and Costas Zapas. The book examines how directors visually transmute reality to represent unstable societies, disrupted collective memories and national identity.

Wes Anderson’s Symbolic Storyworld A Semiotic Analysis

Warren Buckland, Oxford Brookes University, UK Wes Anderson’s Symbolic Storyworld presents a theoretical investigation of what makes the films of Wes Anderson distinctive. It pulls apart each of Anderson’s narratives to pursue the proposition that they all share the same deep underlying symbolic values – a common symbolic storyworld. Taking the polemical strategy of outlining and employing Claude Lévi-Strauss’s distinguished work on myth and kinship to analyze eight of Anderson’s films, Warren Buckland unearths the peculiar symbolic structure of each film, plus the circuits of exchange, tangible and intangible gift giving, and unusual kinship systems that govern the lives of Anderson’s characters.

In Movies with Stanley Cavell in Mind, some of the scholars who have become essential for our understanding of Stanley Cavell’s writing on film gather to use his landmark contributions to help us read new films—from Hollywood and elsewhere—films that exist beyond his immediate reach and reading. Through a series of interpretive vignettes, the contributers situate, for the expert and beginner alike, how Cavell’s writing on film can profitably enrich one’s experience of cinema and also inform how we might continue the practice of serious philosophical criticism of specific films mindful of his sensibility.

The Lost Worlds of John Ford Beyond the Western

Jeffrey Richards, Lancaster University, UK Jeffrey Richards develops and broadens our understanding of John Ford's film-making oeuvre by studying his non-Western films through the lens of Ford’s life and abiding preoccupations. Ford's other cinematic worlds included Ireland, the Family, Catholicism, War and the Sea, which share with his westerns the recurrent themes of memory and loss, the plight of outsiders and the tragedy of family breakup. Richards' revisionist study both provides new insights into familiar films such as The Fugitive (1947); The Quiet Man (1952), Gideon’s Way and The Informer (1935) and reclaims neglected masterpieces, among them Wee Willie Winkie (1937) and the extraordinary The Long Voyage Home.

Pioneer of Documentary Filmmaking Ilana Leah Sharp, Independent Scholar, Australia Esfir Shub was the only prominent female director of nonfiction film present at the dawning of the Soviet film industry. She was, in fact, the first woman both to write critical texts on cinema and then practically apply these theorisations in her own films. Her syncretism of cinema theory and praxis inspired her to ask questions regarding both the nature of nonfiction film, such as the problem of authenticity and reality, and the function of the artist in society. This book demonstrates Shub’s position not only as a significant filmmaker and recognised member of the early Soviet avant-garde but also as a key figure in global cinema history and as a pioneer of the theory and practice of documentary filmmaking.

Parody in English Film and Television Comedy Beyond a Joke explores how British film culture has used forms of parody, from the 1960s to the present day. In it, author Neil Archer provides a contextual and textual analysis of works which, while popular, have only rarely been the subject of serious academic attention – from Morecambe and Wise to Shaun of the Dead (2004) to the London 2012 Olympics’ opening ceremony. Combining methodologies of film history and film theory, Beyond a Joke locates parody within specific industrial and cultural moments and shows how ‘Britishness’, shaped in self-mocking and ironic terms, becomes the selling point for the global market.

Musicals at the Margins Genre, Boundaries, Canons

Edited by Julie Lobalzo Wright, University of Warwick, UK & Martha Shearer, University College Dublin, Ireland While the musical for much of its existence has had a relatively ‘strong’ generic identity, the genre’s central semantic element, the musical number, is also widespread in films not understood to be musicals. It encompasses a range of different forms of marginality, including media that is 'sort of' a musical, music documentaries, workout films, and visual albums. This volume focuses on the genre’s edges and boundaries, contributing to genre studies by investigating one particular case of the instability of a film genre. By considering texts outside of the canon and through a wide range of critical perspectives, Musicals at the Margins expands the study of the musical as the genre continues to evolve.

Freedom and Vengeance on Film Precarious Lives and the Politics of Subjectivity

Robert E. Watkins, Columbia College Chicago, USA In this book, author Robert E. Watkins explores what audiences learn about the two core political ideals of freedom and vengeance from film. He examines five contemporary feature films; Into the Wild, Mystic River, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, Wendy and Lucy and Winter’s Bone, considering the ways in which these films engage our deep attachments to these ideals. In doing so, he interrogates the political consequences of the reproduction or disruption of their meanings. Watkins argues that films both reﬂect and construct social reality, especially in the way they employ, affirm and critique the discourses through which we grasp political life.

British Radio Drama, 1945-63

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.

The News Media At War

The Clash of Western and Arab Networks in the Middle East Tarek Cherkaoui, TRT World Research Centre, Turkey This book considers the cross-cultural factors at play that caused American news coverage during the 2003 war in Iraq to be distinctly different from its Arab counterparts. Tarek Cherkaoui examines how this difference has led to a persistent disconnect in how America and the Arab world perceive each other. He reveals how geo-political and ideological legacies of the past, which divide the world into a dichotomy of ‘us’ against ‘them’, play a dominant role in reinforcing the ensuing polarization.

Time on TV

Narrative Time, Time Travel and Time Travellers in Popular Television Culture Edited by Lorna Jowett, University of Northampton, UK, Kevin Robinson, Mary Hare School, UK & David Simmons, University of Northampton, UK From early examples such as Star Trek and Sapphire and Steel to more contemporary shows including Life on Mars and The Vampire Diaries, time has frequently been used as a device to allow programme makers to experiment stylistically and challenge established ways of thinking. Time on TV provides a range of exciting, accessible, yet intellectually rigorous essays that consider the many and varied ways in which telefantasy shows have explored this subject, providing the reader with a greater understanding of the importance of time to the success of genre on the small screen.

Aesthetics, Digital Studies and Bernard Stiegler

Edited by Noel Fitzpatrick, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland, Neill O’Dwyer, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland & Mick O’Hara, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland Aesthetics, Digital Studies and Bernard Stiegler frames the intertwined relationship between artistic endeavours and scientific fields and their sociopolitical implications. Each chapter is either an explication of, or a critique of, some aspect of Bernard Stiegler’s technological philosophy; as it is his technological-political-aesthetical-ethical theorisations which form the philosophical foundation of the volume. Emerging scholars bring critical new reﬂections to the subject area, while more established academics, researchers and practitioners outline the mutating nature of aesthetics within historical and theoretical frameworks. Not only is interdisciplinarity a prevailing topic at work within this collection, but so too is there a delineation of the mutating, hybrid role inhabited by the arts practitioner – at once engineer, scientist and artist – in the changing landscape of digital cultural production.

Media Power and Global Television News The Role of Al Jazeera English

Saba Bebawi, University of Technology Sydney, Australia This book considers Al Jazeera English's position in the global news environment. Author Saba Bebawi notes that while the Middle East has been a particular focus of global crisis reporting, international coverage of these conﬂicts has historically been presented through a 'Western' perspective. The absence of Arab voices in the global public sphere has created a discursive gap between the Middle East and the rest of the world. Using a framing analysis of selected news reports by Al Jazeera English before and after the so-called 'Arab Spring' protests, Bebawi identifies the extent to which it addresses this gap between the Arab and global spheres.

Technológos in Being

Radical Media Archaeology and the Computational Machine Wolfgang Ernst, Humboldt University, Germany Wolfgang Ernst’s new book, in its explicit mediascientific approach, aligns with the politics of the Thinking Media series to publish innovative works that advance media studies towards the ‘new sciences.’ Ernst invites readers to re-adjust their ideas of media studies: the conviction that an extended understanding of "medium" needs to include a concept of materiality that focuses on "nonhuman" agencies as well. The book grounds media analysis radically in the technological apparatuses, relays, transistors, hardand software, to precisely locate the scenes, operations and frictions where reasoning logos and ‘informable’ matter interfere.

Digital Media Ecologies

Entanglements of Content, Code and Hardware Sy Taffel, Massey University, New Zealand Digital Media Ecologies 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.

Video Game Level Design

How to Create Video Games with Emotion, Interaction, and Engagement Michael Salmond, Florida Gulf Coast University, USA Level designers build worlds, draw maps, set missions, and lay irresistible paths to make sure we keep playing their games late into the night. It's a hugely competitive field, requiring both technical and artistic skill. Bringing together interaction, usability and experience design, this book shows how design principles can be used to plan maps, encourage narrative interaction and build worlds. 22 illustrated interviews and case studies show how these principles translate to real world best practices for triple-A games through to low-budget indies.

Edited by Dal Yong Jin, Simon Fraser University, Canada

Soraya Murray, UC Santa Cruz, USA

Transformation of Cultural Perceptions of Competitive Gaming

Global esports explores the recent surge of esports in the global scene and comprehensively discusses people’s understanding of this spectacle. By historicizing and institutionalizing esports, the contributors analyze its rapid growth and its implications in culture and digital economy. Dal Yong Jin curates a discussion as to why esports has become a global phenomenon. From games such as Spacewar to Starcraft to Overwatch, a key theme distinguishing this collection from others is a potential shift of esports from online to mobile gaming.

The Visual Politics of Race, Gender and Space Soraya Murray's insightful study examines issues of gender, race, and space in relation to a range of popular contemporary video games including The Last of Us, Metal Gear Solid, Spec Ops: The Line, Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed to show how they are deeply entangled with American ideological positions and contemporary political, cultural and economic conﬂicts. Murray examines the elaborately constructed characters and densely layered worlds of these popular games, tracing how their social and environmental landscapes reﬂect ideas about gender, race, globalization, and urban life.
