Euro-Visions
Surveillance and Film
Europe in Contemporary Cinema
J. Macgregor Wise, Arizona State University, USA
Mariana Liz, University of Leeds, UK "In Euro-Visions, the many strands of European cinema come together — concepts and narratives, genres and styles, industry matters and economic concerns. Building on the dialectical interplay of the itinerant and the stagnant, Mariana Liz guides the reader on a filmic journey against the diverse backdrop of Europe's ideological and representational complexity." Dina Iordanova, Professor of Global Cinema and Creative Cultures, University of St Andrews, UK Mariana Liz examines costume dramas, biopics and war films, mainstream co-productions and tales of ‘Fortress Europe’ by renowned auteurs, showing how films from different European nations depict and contribute to the formation of the idea of Europe.

Surveillance and Film is an engaging and accessible book that maps out important themes in how popular culture imagines surveillance by examining key feature films that prominently address the subject. Drawing on dozens of examples from around the world, J. Macgregor Wise analyzes films that focus on those who watch, films that focus on those who are watched, films that feature surveillance societies, surveillance procedural films, and films that interrogate the aesthetics of the surveillance image itself. Wise uses these films to describe key models of understanding surveillance as well as to raise issues of voyeurism, trust, ethics, technology, visibility, identity, privacy, and control.

The Global Auteur The Multilingual Screen New Reflections on Cinema and Linguistic Difference Edited by Tijana Mamula, John Cabot University, Italy & Lisa Patti, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, USA The Multilingual Screen is the first edited volume to offer a wide-ranging exploration of the place of multilingualism in cinema, investigating the ways in which linguistic difference and exchange have shaped, and continue to shape, the medium’s history. Moving across a vast array of geographical, historical, and theoretical contexts, the essays collected here address the aesthetic, political, and industrial significance of multilingualism in film production and reception. In grouping these works together, The Multilingual Screen discerns and emphasizes the areas of study most crucial to forging a renewed understanding of the relationship between cinema and language diversity.

Edited by Seung-hoon Jeong, New York University Abu Dhabi, UAE & Jeremi Szaniawski, Independent Scholar, New Zealand "Once a dramatic new critical perspective and later declared a moribund leftover of romanticism, auteurs and auteurism today have become—as this outstanding and wide-ranging collection reminds us—more vibrant and complex than ever before." Timothy Corrigan, Professor of Cinema Studies, English, and History of Art, University of Pennsylvania, USA The Global Auteur re-examines the auteur, often depicted as a politically isolated and romantic figure of aesthetic individualism. This book provides a much-needed reassessment of the figure of the film auteur for the global age.

"Deeper Than Oblivion is an ambitious project that explores the representation of personal and collective traumas in Israeli cinema . . .

The Politics of Authorship in 21st Century Cinema
Childhood and Nation in Contemporary World Cinema recognizes that the range of films and scholarship is now sufficiently extensive to invoke the world cinema mantra of pluri-vocal and pluri-central attention and interpretation. The present collection observes how and why and whether the cinematic child is indeed aligned to concepts of modern nationhood, to concerns of the State, and to geopolitical organizational themes and precepts.

This series seeks to explore national cinemas from a novel perspective by focusing on specific topics and issues arising in the various national contexts, instead of surveying the film production of a given country.
Italian Style Fashion & Film from Early Cinema to the Digital Age Eugenia Paulicelli, Queens College and the CUNY Graduate Center, USA "Paulicelli’s book is a tour de force of film and fashion scholarship, a beautifully written and authoritative exploration of Italian national identity that will appeal to a wide readership. In mapping out Italy’s rich cultural heritage from early twentieth century modernism, through the economic miracle years to the present day, this book sets out to do nothing less than define Italian style as embodied by the dialogue between fashion and film. That Italian Style achieves this is testament to its brilliance."

Divine Work, Japanese Colonial Cinema and its Legacy Kate Taylor-Jones, University of Sheffield, UK Central to this book are the key points of defining "The Greater East Asian Film Sphere" (GEAFS) and analyzing how the it implemented and theorized its ideas by those in power from the late 1930s to the end of the Pacific War. With discussions of films prior to the war, (Manchurian Girl, 1933, Fisherman's Fire, 1939) to coverage of films made through post-war contexts (City of Sadness, 1989, Dou-san, 1994), Taylor-Jones explores how cinema in the region needs to be understood in terms of past colonial relationships.

Bollywood in Britain
Cinematic Homecomings
Cinema, Brand, Discursive Complex

"Bollywood in Britain is a significant contribution to the burgeoning field of Bollywood studies and, more broadly, to the study of non-Western and transnational cinemas and their subsequent receptions." Ajay Gehlawat, Sonoma State University, USA Bollywood in Britain demonstrates that the presentation of Bollywood for British mainstream culture oscillates between moments of approximation and distancing, with a clear dominance of the latter.

Authoring Hal Ashby The Myth of the New Hollywood Auteur
The Ironic Filmmaking of Stephen Frears
Aaron Hunter, Maynooth University, Ireland
Lesley Brill, Wayne State University, USA
"A very useful and lucid contribution to understanding of the films of Hal Ashby and the New Hollywood context in which they are situated. Makes a strong and valuable case for the benefits of an approach that acknowledges multiple contributions to authorship, both in this case and as a way of revisiting the films of the period more generally." Geoff King, Professor of Film and TV Studies, Brunel University London, UK Using Hal Ashby as a larger framework on multiple-authorship, Authoring Hal Ashby lays out a creative new approach to understanding one of Hollywood's most exciting eras and most vital filmmakers.

Lars von Trier's Women Edited by Rex Butler, University of Queensland, Australia & David Denny, Marylhurst University, USA "Lars von Trier's Women is much more than a collection of essays – it is a very powerful critical project going right to the heart of the oeuvre of one of the greatest and most intriguing contemporary directors... The singularity of von Trier’s opus works as an extremely productive trigger of the essays written by some of the most significant authors in contemporary theory. Lars von Trier's Women is a magnificent cocktail of cinema, philosophy, psychoanalysis and film theory."

"Can a case be made for the 'consistently inconsistent' Stephen Frears, who’s staunchly maintained, 'I’m just the bloke who gets hired,' as a cinematic auteur? Armed with a formidable appreciation of Frears’s direction of performers, an exquisite sensitivity to his visual design, and a deep sympathy with his representations of love in its many varieties, Lesley Brill presents compelling evidence why audiences who have enjoyed films as different as My Beautiful Laundrette, Dangerous Liaisons, The Queen, and Philomena can profit from closer attention to the endlessly resourceful ironist behind them all."

Hitchcock's Appetites The Corpulent Plots of Desire and Dread Casey McKittrick, Western Michigan University, USA In Hitchcock’s Appetites, Casey McKittrick offers the first book-length study of the relationship between Hitchcock’s body size and his cinema. Whereas most critics and biographers of the great director are content to consign his large figure and larger appetite to colorful anecdotes of his private life, McKittrick argues that our understanding of Hitchcock’s films, his creative process, and his artistic mind are incomplete without considering his lived experience as a fat man. Hitchcock’s Appetites produces a new and compelling profile of Hitchcock's creative life, and a fuller, more nuanced account of his auteurism.

Series Editor: Todd McGowan, University of Vermont, USA This series fills a gaping hole in the world of film theory by marrying the explanation of film theory with an interpretation of a film.
Fredric Jameson and The Wolf of Wall Street
Narrative Theory and Adaptation
Clint Burnham, Simon Fraser University, Canada
Understanding narrative theory is crucial to make sense of Spike Jonze's award-winning film Adaptation. The book explicates, in clear prose for beginners, four key facets important to the narrative theory of film: the distinction between practical vs. critical theory, the role of adaptation, the process of narrative comprehension, and the notion of authorship. It then works to unlock Adaptation using these four keys in succession, considering how the film demands a theoretical understanding of the storytelling process. In using Spike Jonze's Adaptation, the author makes the case for the importance of narrative theory as a general perspective for filmmakers, critics, and viewers alike.
Fredric Jameson and The Wolf of Wall Street offers a concise introduction to Jameson and shows how his Marxist theories can be deployed to interpret Martin Scorsese's critically acclaimed 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street. Clint Burnham illustrates how Jameson’s theory can help to make sense of The Wolf of Wall Street, a film that shows in all its glory the excesses, lunacies, and inner workings of 1990s finance capitalism. Fredric Jameson and The Wolf of Wall Street is a book about a contemporary film, and contemporary events, and contemporary theory.

Feminist Film Theory and Pretty Woman Mari Ruti, Harvard University, USA "Don't mistake this for a book just about Pretty Woman! It is that, but it is so much more: a beautifully pitched introduction to feminist film theory, a powerful critique of our postfeminist and neoliberal age, and, above all, a bold, passionate and nuanced contribution to thinking about gender relations today.

Ex-centric Cinema
The Body and the Screen
Giorgio Agamben and Film Archaeology
Female Subjectivity in Contemporary Women's Cinema
Janet Harbord, Queen Mary, University of London, UK Ex-centric Cinema takes an archaeological approach to the study of cinema through the writings of philosopher Giorgio Agamben, arguing that whilst we have a century-long tradition of cinema, the possibility of what cinema may have become is not lost, but co-exists in the present as an unexcavated potential.

Kate Ince, University of Birmingham, UK This volume draws on feminist theorists and critics to offer readings of a range of the most important and memorable films from the 1990s and 2000s directed by women. While mainstream entertainment cinema traditionally distorts representations of women, Ince suggests that the films of independent women directors are progressively redressing the balance, and thereby reinvigorating both the narratives and the formal ambitions of European cinema.

A brave, uncompromising, and important book." Gregory Flaxman, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA The Grace of Destruction argues that extreme cinema is different from mainstream cinema's representations of violence and constitutes a critique of the system that produces such violence.

Cinema of Simulation: Hyperreal Hollywood in the Long 1990s Randy Laist, Goodwin College, USA The hyperreal cinema of the 1990s conceives the movie screen as an arena in which images and reality exchange masks, blend into one another, and challenge the philosophical premises which differentiate them from one another. Cinema of Simulation provides a guided tour through the anxieties and fantasies, reciprocally social and cinematic, which characterize the surreal territory of the hyperreal.

Contributors consider “grindhouse cinema” from a variety of cultural and methodological positions. Some seek to deconstruct the etymology of “grindhouse” itself, or examine the term’s contemporary relevance in the context of both media production and consumerism. Others offer new inroads into hitherto unexamined examples of exploitation film history, presenting snapshots of cultural moments that many of us thought we already knew.

“Semenza and Hasenfratz (both, English, Univ. of Connecticut) present a comprehensive survey of the adaptation of British literature to film from the beginning of film in 1895 to the present.

A Critical Introduction Film noir may seem a familiar genre to many, with its use of a complex narrative structure, flashbacks and voiceover narration, and with such archetypal characterisations as the femme fatale and private eye. But Ian Brookes asks: 'What is film noir?' The first critical introduction to take into account the complexity of the term and the difficulties of its straightforward definition and classification, Film Noir is not just an account of what film noir is, but also an interrogation of the ways in which the term came to be applied to a particular group of American films of the 1940s and 1950s.

What's Eating You? Food and Horror on Screen Edited by Cynthia J. Miller, Emerson College, USA & A. Bowdoin Van Riper, Independent Scholar, USA Monstrous “others” dine on forbidden fare; the tables of consumption are turned, and the consumer becomes the consumed. Overindulgence, as Le Grande Bouffe (1973) and Street Trash (1987) warn, can kill us, and occasionally, as films like The Stuff (1985) and Poultrygeist (2006) illustrate, our food fights back. From Blood Feast (1963) to Sweeney Todd (2007), motion pictures have reminded us that it is an “eat or be eaten” world. Divided into four thematic sections, What's Eating You? explores the deeper significance of such stories—the ways in which they reflect (or challenge) our deepest fears about consuming and being consumed.

The "Disguised" Political Film in Contemporary Hollywood A Genre's Construction Despoina-Betty Kaklamanidou, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece The political film is not a clearly delineated object, but rather an elusive one and resistant to clear boundaries. Betty Kaklamanidou unpacks the problematic terms and ideas that go along with defining a new genre. Kaklamanidou considers a different sub-genre per chapter, placing each group of films in their socio-historical context to reach conclusions about the production of political films in millennial Hollywood.

Screening Bosnia Geopolitics, Gender and Nationalism in Cinematic Representations of the 19921995 War Stephen Harper, University of Portsmouth, UK In Screening Bosnia, Stephen Harper analyses how the political contexts and historical events of the brutal Bosnian war of 1992-1995 have been represented, arguing that the Western media have presented a onesided, pro-Western view of the conflict. Examining images of the war across a variety of media, Harper focuses on the representation of some of the war's major themes (humanitarian intervention, the roles of NATO and the UN, genocide, rape and ethnic cleansing) and considers the role of popular media texts in reinforcing Western geopolitical hegemony.

Seeing Fans analyzes the representations of fans in the mass media through a diverse range of perspectives. Branching out from a preface by noted actor and fan Orlando Jones (Sleepy Hollow), this text bridges the worlds of academia and the media industry. Essays examine such varied material as fictional representations of fans in television; representations of fans in film, comics, music and sport fandoms; and finally, representations of fans in documentaries and news reports. Interviews throughout connect the scholarship presented with the worlds of film, television, and documentary directors.

Always inspired and acute in her analysis, Rebecca Williams tackles a range of case studies from Doctor Who to Friends to The West Wing. Post-Object Fandom is such a good read, you simply won’t want it to end." Matt Hills, Professor of Film and TV Studies, Aberystwyth University, UK Whilst it is inevitable for television series to draw to a close, the reactions of fans have rarely been considered.

The Internet Unconscious On the Subject of Electronic Literature Sandy Baldwin, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA The Internet Unconscious describes the poetics of the net's “becoming-literary” by employing concepts that are both technically-specific and poetically-charged, providing a coherent and persuasive theory. The incorporation and projection of sites and technical protocols produces an uncanny displacement of the writer's body onto diverse part objects, and in turn to an intense and real inhabitation of the net through writing. The fundamental poetic situation of net writing is the phenomenology of “as-if.” Net writing involves construal of the world through the imaginary.

Brenda Laurel is best known for her work with Purple Moon, the pioneering game company she cofounded in the 1990s. Purple Moon’s games were based on years of research Laurel completed in an effort to understand why computer games seemed to be of so little interest to girls. Using diverse archival sources such as trade journals, newspapers, and recorded interviews, alongside Laurel’s completed games and own writings and an original interview with Laurel herself, Brenda Laurel offers insight into both the early development of the games for girls movement of the 1990s and the lasting impact of Laurel’s game design breakthroughs.

The Aesthetic Pleasures of Girl Teen Film Samantha Colling, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK What is ‘fun’ about the Hollywood version of girlhood? Through re-evaluating notions of pleasure and fun, The Aesthetic Pleasures of Girl Teen Film forms a study of Hollywood teen girl films between 2000-2010. By tracing the aesthetic connections between films such as Mean Girls, Hairspray, and Easy A, the book explores how Hollywood creates gendered ideas of fun. Rather than condemn these films as ‘guilty pleasures’ this book sets out to understand how they are designed to create experiences that feel as though they express desires, memories, or fantasies that girls supposedly share in common.

The rise of a curatorial culture where viewers create their own entertainment packages and select from a buffet of viewing options and venues has caused a seismic shift for the traditional television industry. Even as audiences clamor for more story-driven and scripted entertainment, their new viewing habits undermine the dominant economic structures that fund quality episodic series.

"Part an archaeology of connectivity, part critical analysis of contemporary culture, Inhuman Networks offers an inspiring take for media studies. Grant Bollmer’s rich, multi-layered book shows that social media does not just mediate but performs a subtle yet effective moral code: the networks prescribe senses of the self, community, value and direction. The so-called human exists only if it routes." Jussi Parikka, Winchester School of Art, UK author of Digital Contagions (2007) and Insect Media (2010) Inhuman Networks argues that the human nature revealed by social media imagines network technology and data as models for behavior online.

Controversies in Digital Ethics Edited by Amber Davisson, Keene State College, USA & Paul Booth, DePaul University, USA Controversies in Digital Ethics offers multiple perspectives on the ways that digital technology and new media have changed contemporary ethical frameworks.

The Marvel Studios Phenomenon evaluates the studio’s identity, as well as its status within the structures of parent Disney. In a new set of readings of key texts the thematics of superhero fiction and the role of fandom are considered. The authors identify milestones from Marvel’s complex and controversial business history, allowing us to appraise its industrial status: from a comic publisher keen to exploit its intellectual property, to an independent producer, to successful subsidiary of a vast entertainment empire.

The Journalist in British Fiction and Film Guarding the Guardians from 1900 to the Present Sarah Lonsdale, City University, UK Sarah Lonsdale traces the ways in which journalists and newspapers have been depicted in fiction, theatre and film. The book asks how journalists were represented in various distinct periods of the 20th century and attempts to explain why these representations vary so widely. This is a history of the British press, told not by historians and sociologists, but by writers and directors as well as journalists themselves. Within these texts and films there is perhaps a clue as to how the best aspects of ‘Fourth estate’ journalism can survive in the digital age.

An Interpretive History of Blacks in American Films, Updated and Expanded 5th Edition Donald Bogle, Lecturer and Author, USA "Mr. Bogle continues to be our most noted blackcinema historian." Spike Lee Every year since 2001, at least one to three African American performers are nominated for an Oscar. And even as some black directors delve into African American history—Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave) or Lee Daniels (The Butler)—others like F. Gary Gray (The Italian Job) and Tim Story (Fantastic Four) are becoming mainstream in their interests, making films that do not involve African American themes. In this updated edition of the widely acclaimed Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies, and Bucks, Donald Bogle expands the conversation on African American filmmakers, directors, and performers in Hollywood.

Stout, University of Minnesota, USA As both an extra-terrestrial and a terrestrial migrant, the alien provides a critical framework to help us understand the interactions between cultures and to explore the transgressive force of travel over geographical, cultural or linguistic borders. Offering a perspective on the alien that connects to scholarship on immigration and globalization, this work brings together canonical and contemporary works in the literature and cinema of science fiction and transnationalism. Alien Imaginations reflects upon contemporary cultural imaginaries as well as the realities of migration, labor and life, suggesting models of resistance, if not utopian horizons.

Poitier Revisited Reconsidering a Black Icon in the Obama Age Edited by Ian Gregory Strachan, College of The Bahamas, The Bahamas & Mia Mask, Vassar College, USA "Unlike much work on Poitier ... this volume [puts] the star in international context. Given Poitier's own international, cosmopolitan identity, such consideration is crucial, and Poitier Revisited does useful work in providing it." Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television Poitier Revisited offers a fresh interrogation of the social, cultural, and political significance of the Poitier oeuvre. This collection reconsiders his pivotal role in film and American race relations, arguing that even in this supposedly "post-racial" moment of Barack Obama, the struggles, aspirations, anxieties, and tensions Poitier's films are every bit as relevant today.

Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies, and Bucks
Documentary has never attracted such audiences, never been produced with such ease from so many corners of the globe, never embraced such variety of expression. The very distinctions between the filmed, the filmer and the spectator are being dissolved. The Act of Documenting addresses what this means for documentary’s 21st century position as a genus in the “class” cinema; for its foundations as, primarily, a scientistic, eurocentric and patriarchal discourse; for its future in a world where assumptions of photographic image integrity cannot be sustained. Winston, Vanstone and Wang Chi explore and celebrate documentary's potentials in the digital age.

With chapters on a wide variety of music games, ranging from well-known console games such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band to new, emerging games for smartphones and tablets, scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds discuss the history, development, and cultural impact of music games.

Playback – A Genealogy of 1980s British Videogames Alex Wade, Birmingham City University, UK
Despite the pervasive rhetorics of immersion and embodiment found in industrial and social discourses, playing a video game is an exercise in non-linearity. The pervasiveness of trial and error mechanics, unforgiving game over screens, loading times, minute tweakings of options and settings, should lead us to consider video games as a medium that cannot eschew fragmentation. Every Game is an Island is an analysis and a critique of grey areas, dead ends and extremities found in digital games, an exploration of border zones where play and non-play coexist or compete.
Through interviews with developers, gamers, and journalists examining the phenomena of bedroom coding, arcade gaming, and format wars, mapped onto enquiry into the seminal genres of the time including driving, shooting, and maze chase, Playback: A Genealogy of 1980s British Videogames examines how 1980s Britain has become the culture of work in the 21st century and considers its meaning to contemporary society. This crucial and timely work fills a lacuna for students and researchers of sociology, media, and games studies and will be of interest to employees of the videogames and media industries.

Drawing on new insights achieved from research located at an intersection between humanities, social and computer sciences, Gareth Schott’s addition to the Approaches in Digital Game Studies series interrogates the nature and meaning of the “violence” encountered and experienced by game players. In focusing on the various ways "violence" is mediated by both the rule system and the semiotic layer of games, the aim is to draw out the distinctiveness of games' exploitation of violence or violent themes.
Gameworlds Virtual Media and Children's Everyday Play Seth Giddings, University of Southampton, UK "Seth Giddings has long been one of the most astute observers of the complexities of digital play and this book offers a compelling, sophisticated look at gaming. Anchored in evocative analysis across a variety of 'gameworlds,' he beautifully shows of how everyday play lives are interwoven between the virtual and the material. This is a must read for anyone."

Art History for Filmmakers
Principles and Practices from the Ground Up
The Art of Visual Storytelling
Michael Salmond, Florida Gulf Coast University, USA
“A ground-breaking textbook that illustrates how art history can serve as a template for understanding the visual aspects of film art.” Angela Giron, Arizona State University, USA
Gillian McIver, SAE Institute
‘‘From the conceptual to the technical, dedicated chapters on every aspect of game design will help you understand the structure, depth and complexity of one of the most pervasive storytelling activities of our time. Aided by interviews with game makers, exercises and examples demonstrate how fluidity in a game arises from planning, execution and reiteration. But as the author states, and I could not agree more, ‘If you want to make games, go make games. Make games, make mistakes and learn from them.’ This book helps you do just that.” Arturo Sinclair, Ithaca College, New York, USA
Art History for Filmmakers shows how images from art can be used by filmmakers to establish period detail, and to demonstrate composition, color theory and lighting. Paintings by artists such as Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Hogarth, Goya and Hokusai are juxtaposed against stills from classic films. In-depth case studies explore the links between art and cinema through the work of highprofile filmmakers, including Peter Greenaway, Jack Cardiff, Martin Scorsese, Guillermo del Toro and Quentin Tarantino.

The Modern Lovers' The Modern Lovers
Angelo Badalamenti's Soundtrack from Twin Peaks
Sean L. Maloney, Independent Scholar, USA
Clare Nina Norelli, Independent Scholar, Australia
The Modern Lovers was never meant to be an album. It was a collection of demos, recorded in fits and starts as Jonathan Richman and his band negotiated modernity and the music industry. A collection of songs about a city and a society in flux, Richman observes a city all but abandoned by adults, ravaged by white flight and urban renewal, veering towards anarchy as old world social moors collide with new attitudes. It is a city that stands in stark contrast to the the ranch style bedroom community where he was raised. All of these conflicts are churned through Richman’s intellectual acuity and emotional unrest to create one of the 20th century’s most enduring documents of post-adolescent malaise.

Donny Hathaway's Donny Hathaway Live Emily J. Lordi, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA In January of 1979, the great soul artist Donny Hathaway fell 15 stories from a window of Manhattan’s Essex House Hotel in an alleged suicide. He was 33 years old, and everyone he worked with called him a genius. In this book on Hathaway’s 1972 album Donny Hathaway Live—a recording that is a testament to his uncanny ability to amplify the power and beauty of his songs in the moment of live performance—Emily Lordi tells the story of the brutally honest, daringly gorgeous music that Hathaway created as he battled the onset of paranoid schizophrenia and his continued influence on generations of singers to come.

LCD Soundsystem’s Sound Of Silver Ryan Leas, Independent Scholar, USA At the time of Sound Of Silver’s creation and release, James Murphy was a man closing in on 40 while fronting a critically-adored band still on the ascent. This album was the first place where he earnestly grappled with questions of aging, of being an artist, and the decisions we make with the time we have left. By the time LCD Soundsystem reunited in 2016, Sound Of Silver had already proven to be a generational touchstone, living on as a document of what it's like to be alive in the 21st century.

Part of Twin Peaks’ charm was its unforgettable soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti, a frequent and reoccurring collaborator of film director and Twin Peaks co-creator David Lynch. Badalamenti’s evocative music, with its haunting themes and jazzy moodscapes, served as a constant in a narrative that was often unhinged and went on to become one of the most popular and influential television soundtracks of all time. Under the guidance of Angelo Badalamenti’s diverse sonic palette, Clare Nina Norelli delves deep into the world of Twin Peaks to answer all of these questions and more.

The Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy Paula Mejia, Independent Scholar, USA The Jesus and Mary Chain's swooning debut Psychocandy seared through the underground and to the top of the pop charts, shifting the role of noise within pop music forever and establishing Creation Records as a taste-making entity in the process. In this book, Paula Mejia analyzes both the socio-political tensions of mid-1980s UK as well as Psychocandy’s blackened candy heart center, telling the story of how a group of working class boys from East Kilbride came together to record an album where depravity and sweetness intertwine, creating a sound of a generation poised on the brink of revolution.

Sleater-Kinney's Dig Me Out Jovana Babovic, University of Tennessee, USA Sleater-Kinney’s 1997 album Dig Me Out is built on Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein’s competing guitars, Janet Weiss’s muscular rhythms, and layered vocals that teeter between an urgent, banshee-like vibrato and a lower accompaniment. It’s anchored in a short period of time – roughly from mid-1996 to mid-1998 – but it encompasses a series of battles over meaning that continued to preoccupy SleaterKinney in the coming decades. This story of Dig Me Out chronicles how Sleater-Kinney won the fight to define themselves on their own terms – as women and as musicians – and, in the process, how they redefined the parameters of rock.

Geto Boys' The Geto Boys Rolf Potts, Independent Scholar, USA Charting the rise of the Geto Boys from the earliest days of Houston's rap scene, Rolf Potts documents a moment in music history when hip-hop was beginning to replace rock as the transgressive sound of American youth. In creating an album that was both sonically innovative and unprecedentedly vulgar, the Geto Boys were accomplishing something that went beyond music. To paraphrase a sentiment from Don DeLillo, this group of young men from Houston's Fifth Ward ghetto had figured out the "language of being noticed" — which is, in the end, the only language America understands.

New Kids on the Block's Hangin' Tough
Buzz Poole, Independent Scholar, USA "In 1969 the Grateful Dead executed an extraordinary pivot. While playing brilliant, deeply improvisational psychedelic music, they simultaneously began to create a series of traditionally-styled new American folk songs that would be collected in Workingman’s Dead. It is perhaps the key moment in their storied history, and Buzz Poole explores this evolution with insight and a profound understanding of how these songs fit into American cultural history." Dennis McNally, author of A Long Strange Trip (2003) and On Highway 61 (2014) The Grateful Dead’s Workingman’s Dead is the first listen to what would become an extensive songbook informed and inspired by dusty, rough-and-tumble American history and world mythologies, charting the long, winding path to self-discovery.

Rebecca Wallwork, Independent Scholar, USA "[Wallwork] aims to explain why this album still resonates with her and the band’s mostly female audience (now in their 40s), and she tackles her subject on multiple fronts: the science, particularly the psychology... In some ways, this book is not so much a band biography or album history as it is a story about fandom. Even elitist rock fans who don’t remember the New Kids fondly will find that Wallwork’s work may crack their hard, cynical shells." Kirkus Reviews Wallwork sets out to analyze the quality of Hangin’ Tough with the help of musicologists, critics, producers, singers and other experts. For the first time, New Kids on the Block are judged on something that's never before been explored in depth - their music.

Ludic Dreaming How to Listen Away from Contemporary Technoculture David Cecchetto, York University, Canada, Marc Couroux, York University, Canada, Ted Hiebert, University of Washington, Bothell, USA & Eldritch Priest, Simon Fraser University, Canada Ludic Dreaming uses dreams as a method for examining sound and contemporary technoculture’s esoteric exchanges, refusing both the strictures of visually-dominated logic and the celebratory tone that so often characterizes the “sonic turn.” Instead, the book forwards a robust engagement with sounds (human and nonhuman alike) that leverages particularity in its full, radical singularity. Thus, these studies situate themselves at a threshold between theory and fiction, one that encourages reader and writer alike to make lateral connections between otherwise wildly incongruent subjects and states of affairs.

Beyond Unwanted Sound Noise, Affect and Aesthetic Moralism Marie Thompson, University of Lincoln, UK Weaving together affect theory with technical descriptions, philosophical accounts, acoustic ecology and a range of noises — from disruptive neighbours to the music of Maria Chavez —Beyond Unwanted Sound critiques both the conservative politics of silence and transgressive poetics of noise, each of which position noise as a negative phenomenon. This book aims to present a broader spectrum of noise, ranging from the exceptional to the banal; the overwhelming to the inaudible; and the destructive to the generative. What connects these various and variable manifestations of noise is not negativity but affectivity — the capacity to modulate, transform and perturb.

Edited by Pirkko Moisala, University of Helsinki, Finland, Taru Leppänen, University of Turku, Finland, Milla Tiainen, University of Helsinki, Finland & Hanna Väätäinen, University of Helsinki, Finland Musical Encounters with Deleuze and Guattari is the first volume to mobilize encounters between the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari and the rich developments in cultural studies of music and sound. Stretching from movement improvisation, vocal performance art, reality TV talent shows and deaf musicians to ethnographic fieldwork, artistic research and musical body studies, Musical Encounters with Deleuze and Guattari demonstrates how musical and sonic practices and expressions can be reconsidered as instances of becoming, actors in assemblages, and actualizations of virtual tendencies.

Between Air and Electricity Microphones and Loudspeakers as Musical Instruments Cathy van Eck, Bern University of the Arts, Switzerland After the sound reproduction industry had claimed “perfect high fidelity” for sound recordings already at the beginning of the twentieth century, composers and sound artists challenged this perfection by tweaking microphones and loudspeakers to make them act as a musical instrument instead of a mere sound reproduction device. This book explores the instrumental use of microphones and loudspeakers in music beginning in the 1950s. The popular noise musician Merzbow, over-minimalist classic Alvin Lucier, cult instrument inventor Hugh Davies, and contemporary visual artist Lynn Pook made audible what was supposed to remain silent.

Sonic Rupture
Chaos Media
A Practice-led Approach to Urban Soundscape Design
A Sonic Economy of Digital Space
Jordan Lacey, RMIT University, Australia "...Providing a timely regeneration of soundscape studies, Sonic Rupture breaks with the complacency of a dialectical hearing, and creates a sonic access to land as an affective earth where we hear noise not as a nuisance but as a sign of limitless potential; and where sound artists and listeners have a mandate for political activism through their joyful participation in the diversification of the urban crust." Salomé Voegelin, University of the Arts London, UK and author of Listening to Noise and Silence (2010) and Sonic Possible Worlds (2014) Sonic Rupture provides the domains of sound art, music, creative practice, urban design, architecture and environmental philosophy with a unique perspective for understanding those affective forces.

Experimental Music Since 1970
Experimentations
Jennie Gottschalk, Independent Scholar, USA
John Cage in Music, Art, and Architecture
"We have needed a reformulation of what experimental music now means... and this book beautifully fulfills that requirement. Jennie Gottschalk takes a fresh and independent look... It is also an adventure story with surprising twists and a panoramic cast of characters, like a novel in which works and ideas are the central figures, seemingly with a collective life of their own." Michael Pisaro, California Institute of the Arts, USA What is experimental music today? Join the author as she explores how experimentation is a way of working. It pushes past that which is known to discover what lies beyond it, finding new forms or accepting a state of uncertainty.

Barrett’s call for a ‘critical music’ offers new terms for thinking and practicing musical art." Bill Dietz, Bard College, USA Barrett posits music as an expanded field encompassing performance, text scores, musical automata, video, social practice, and installation. Coining the term "critical music," this book examines a diverse collection of art projects—Pussy Riot, Ultra-red, Hong-Kai Wang, Peter Ablinger, Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz, and others— that intervene in political and philosophical conflicts by exploring music’s forms.

Into the Maelstrom: Music, Improvisation and the Dream of Freedom Before 1970 David Toop, London College of Communication, UK "Maelstrom indeed ... [This] is an encyclopedic vortex of musicology, memoir and speculative extemporisation on the nature of improvisation and freedom in music... crammed with detail and fascinating observations ... A captivating reading experience that perfectly embodies its subject in form." The Wire Into the Maelstrom introduces the subject of free improvisation, analyzing its early history and tracing the philosophy and practice of the music through to 1970. From a broad historical perspective, this work explores how improvisation without a score came to be possible and how spontaneity became a core value.

Oblique Music
The past 50 to 60 years have shown a particular intensification of this phenomenon, rooted in blues and folk traditions, and then seeping into the mainstream through artists such as Bob Dylan, Carole King and James Taylor. Since the 1960s, the nexus of performers has expanded to artists such as Elton John and Tori Amos and newer, up-and-coming artists who went from performing at ‘open mic’ nights to commercial success like Sufjan Stevens, Ed Sheeran and Regina Spektor.

When Genres Collide Down Beat, Rolling Stone, and the Struggle between Jazz and Rock Matthew Thomas Brennan, University of Edinburgh, UK In this book, Matt Brennan argues that there are other ways popular music history could have been written (and has been written) that call the oppositional representation of jazz and rock into question. The book challenges the traditional divide between jazz and rock by going back to how they were first covered in the two oldest surviving and most influential jazz and rock periodicals: Down Beat and Rolling Stone. It examines afresh the critical moments in history when the trajectories and meanings of jazz and rock intersected, overlapped, or collided in dramatic ways. This book bridges the gap between these two musical worlds.

Caetano Veloso’s A Foreign Sound
Future Nostalgia
Barbara Browning, New York University, USA
Performing David Bowie
33 1/3 Brazil is the first strand of the new 33 1/3 World series. Inspired by the original 33 1/3 series, each book in this strand focuses on a specific Brazilian album or artist.
Shelton Waldrep, University of Southern Maine, USA
What makes a song sound foreign? What makes it sound “American,” or "Brazilian"? Caetano Veloso’s 2004 American songbook album, A Foreign Sound, is a meditation on these questions—but in truth, they were questions he’d been asking throughout his career.

Global Punk Resistance and Rebellion in Everyday Life Kevin Dunn, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, USA "I’ve been waiting a long time for a book that tackled punk in all its complexity both on a global and local level and finally, Kevin Dunn has done it... By reminding us how vital punk still is on a day to day basis, Dunn has created a book that truly inspires and reminds us why punk still matters and why we should never give up the hope of positive change." Brian Cogan, Molloy College, USA, and author of The Encyclopedia of Punk (2010) Global Punk looks beyond the music to explore DIY punk as a lived experience and examines the ways in which punk contributes to the process of disalienation and political engagement and remains a vital cultural form.

Sonic Technologies Popular Music, Digital Culture and the Creative Process Robert Strachan, University of Liverpool, UK In the past two decades digital technologies have fundamentally changed the way we think about, make and use popular music. For many, music production has moved out of the professional recording studio and into the home. Sonic Technologies examines the impact of digitization upon creativity; that is, what musicians, cultural producers and prosumers do. Using a broad range of examples ranging from experimental electronic music to more mainstream genres, the book examines how contemporary creative practice is shaped by the visual and sonic look and feel of recording technologies.

"Original, engaging, and well-researched, Future Nostalgia is a welcome contribution to both the field of popular music studies generally and to Bowie scholarship in particular... this book makes a compelling case for the importance of David Bowie as an artist, performer, and cultural icon." Alexander Carpenter, University of Alberta, Canada By looking at key moments in Bowie’s career through several lenses, Waldrep examines Bowie's work in terms not only of his auditory output but his many reinterpretations of it via music videos, concert tours, television appearances, and occasional movie roles in an attempt to trace his contribution to contemporary rock music.

Transglobal Sounds Music, Youth and Migration Edited by João Sardinha, Universidade Aberta, Portugal & Ricardo Campos, Universidade Aberta, Portugal "Transglobal Sounds is an exciting volume that focuses on an important demographic slice of the migrant pie - youth, and the particular importance of music in addressing the challenges of deterritorialization and return." Kimberly DaCosta Holton, Rutgers University, USA This book contemplates migrant youth and the impact of music on mobility, engaging with broader questions of how new modes of mobility, sociality, and identification are born out of the interfaces between youth, migration, and music.

Weekend Societies Electronic Dance Music Festivals and Event-Cultures Graham St John, University in Fribourg, Switzerland and Griffith University, Australia From Detroit's Movement Electronic Music Festival to Portugal’s Boom Festival to Rio de Janeiro's Eu Amo Baile Funk, EDM festivals have become stages for the performance of transnational meta-cultural aesthetics (e.g. techno, psychedelic, baile funk) and their potential synthesis. Weekend Societies is a timely interdisciplinary volume from the emergent field of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) festival and eventculture studies. Featuring contributions from scholars of EDM festivals showcasing a diversity of perspectives and methodological approaches, Weekend Societies illustrates how a complex array of factors combine to determine the fate of EDM festivals that transpire at the intersections of the local and global.
