Letter from the editors: We are pleased to be sharing with you Columbia University Press’s 2020 Film, Media, and Journalism Studies catalog. The books featured here reflect the press’s commitment to publishing innovative works examining the multifaceted ways in which film, media, and journalism shape and are shaped by shifting historical, political, and artistic contexts. First off, congratulations to Sarah Street and Joshua Yumibe on receiving the Katherine Singer Kovács Book Award for their book Chromatic Modernity. Published in the Film and Culture series, their book is joined by several new titles for the series, ranging from Debashree Mukherjee’s Bombay Hustle, which provides a panoramic view of the early days of the Bombay film industry, to Nick Jones’s Spaces Mapped and Monstrous, which explores the aesthetics and technologies of 3D cinema. Other books include Virginia Wexman on the Directors Guild of America and the rise of the director as “author,” Sarah Keller on our anxious love for cinema, Malcolm Turvey on Jacques Tati, and Justin Remes on films that foreground what is absent. We are also happy to announce the second edition of our bestselling textbook, Film Studies by Ed Sikov. Two other books investigate the political implications of film on and off the screen. Claudia Breger’s Making Worlds examines how contemporary European films produce new ways of thinking about collectivity. Meanwhile, Eithne Quinn’s A Piece of the Action takes aim at Hollywood’s failure to integrate in the post-civil rights era. We also continue to publish books for film scholars, students, and cinephiles through our Wallflower imprint. Perpetrator Cinema: Confronting Genocide in Cambodian Documentary, by Raya Morag, examines the work of filmmakers such as Rithy Panh, who focus on confrontations between survivors and perpetrators of genocide. Kathleen Cummins takes up the revisionist feminist western in Herstories on Screen; and Terence McSweeney provides a concise and comprehensive introduction to the global phenomenon that is the superhero film in his new contribution to the Short Cuts series. The acclaimed Italian director Paolo Sorrentino is the subject of the latest entry in the Directors' Cuts series, written by Russell Kilbourn, which focuses on the tension between stylish postmodernity and political heft in Sorrentino's films. It is also a bittersweet pleasure to announce the final installment in our Cultographies series, on Jack Smith's notorious and oft-censored Flaming Creatures, by Constantine Verevis. New books in journalism studies view the field’s past and possible future. Legendary magazine designers Walter Bernard and Milton Glaser look back at their career in Mag Men. Francesco Marconi examines the possibilities and limits of artificial intelligence in journalism. Finally, we are very proud to be publishing The Perilous Public Square: Structural Threats to Free Expression Today, edited by David E. Pozen, in conjunction with the Knight First Amendment Institute. We hope you share our enthusiam for these books and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for interest and support. Sincerely, Philip Leventhal, senior editor film, media, and journalism studies; Ryan Groendyk, editor for Wallflower 2

Making Worlds
A Piece of the Action
Affect and Collectivity in Contemporary European Cinema
Race and Labor in Post– Civil Rights Hollywood Eithne Quinn
Claudia Breger
Claudia Breger argues that contemporary European cinema provides ways of thinking about and feeling collectivity that can challenge the twenty-first century's political trends. Through discussion of a new model of cinematic worldmaking, Making Worlds examines how films produce unexpected and destabilizing affects that invite viewers to imagine new connections.
Eithne Quinn reveals how Hollywood catalyzed racial politics in the decade after the passage of the Civil Rights Act through representation on screen as well as in battles over jobs and resources behind the scenes. Based on extensive archival research and detailed discussions of films, this book examines the limits of Hollywood liberalism.

Projections of Power and Identity
Growing Up in the Late Twentieth Century
Teremce McSweeney examines some of the most prominent thematic issues at play in mainstream superhero film, including the political-ideological functions of the films; gender and racial representation (or lack thereof ); and the myth-building tendency that has sustained various superhero franchises.

DEVIL'S ADVOCATES (Auteur Publishing) Blood and Black Lace
Psychomania
Roberto Curti
I. Q. Hunter and Jamie Sherry
Psychomania (also known as The Death Wheelers, 1973), a zombie biker horror film directed by Don Sharp and written by two blacklisted American screenwriters, Arnaud d'Usseau and Julian Halevy [(aslso kown as Julian Zimet), is a summit of British trash cinema. A throwaway movie, quickly made but not (to the chagrin of the cast) quickly forgotten when caught on late-night TV, it is an excercise in unwitting Surrealism, a succession of wonderfully photogenic moments that defy conventional categories of good and bad filmmaking.
Mario Bava’s Blood and Black Lace (1964) is commonly considered the archetypal giallo. This book examines its main narrative and stylistic aspects, including the groundbreaking prominence of violence and sadism and its use of color and lighting, as well as Bava’s irreverent approach to genre and handling of the audience’s expectations. $15.00 paper 978-1-911325-93-2 2020120 pages 24 illus.

Shivers
The Mummy
Luke Aspell
Doris V. Sutherland
Released in 1932, The Mummy moved Universal horror into a land of deserts, pyramids, and longlost tombs. This book examines the roots of The Mummy. It shows how the film shares many motifs with the work of writers such as H. Rider Haggard and discusses how The Mummy drew upon a contemporary vogue for all things ancient Egyptian.
Shivers (1975) was David Cronenberg’s first commercial feature and his first horror film. Luke Aspell’s analysis addresses shot composition, lighting, cinematographic texture, sound, the use of stock music, editing, costume, make-up, optical work, the screenplay, the casting, and the direction of the actors.

The Devils
Darren Arnold
Samm Deighan
Samm Deighan explores the way Fritz Lang uses horror and thriller tropes in M, particularly in terms of how it functions as a bridge between German Expressionism and Hollywood’s growing fixation on sympathetic killers in the 1940s. Deighan also examines how Lang made use of developments within in forensic science and the criminal justice system to portray a somewhat realistic serial killer on screen for the first time.
Director Ken Russell viewed this as his only political film. Darren Arnold examines the film's prevalent themes, including the representation of gender and sexuality, gender fluidity, and how sex and religion clash to interesting and controversial effect. Arnold concludes by revisiting the film’s censorship travails, the versions of The Devils that have appeared on both big and small screens, and the film’s legacy and influence.

Scream
Creepshow
Steven West
Simon Brown
Simon Brown’s analysis focuses on the key influences on the film, not just director George Romero and author Steven King but also the anthology horrors of Amicus Productions, body horror cinema, the special makeup effects of Tom Savini, the relationship between horror and humor, and most notably the tradition of 1950s EC horror comics, from which the film draws both its thematic preoccupations and its visual style.
Steven West offers a full exploration of Scream, including its structure, its many reference points (such as the prominent use of Halloween as a kind of sacred text), its marketing (“the new thriller from Wes Craven”—not a horror film), and its legacy for horror cinema in the new millennium. $15.00 paper 978-1-911325-27-7 2019 120 pages 20 illus.

CONSTELLATIONS (Auteur Publishing) Stalker
Ex Machina
Jon Hoel
Joshua Grimm
Few filmmakers could even attempt the fearlessness of Andrei Tarkovsky’s cinema. His most ambitious work, Stalker (1977), is arguably the most thoughtful science-fiction film ever made. Stalker parallels its speculative elements with a harrowing narrative of human fragility and philosophy. It is as much a movie about the complexity of its characters as it is about the mysteriousness of its labyrinthine landscape, including the ambiguous Zone and its heart, the Room of Desire.
Ex Machina (2014) impressed critics and audiences alike with its bold ideas and all-too-realistic depiction of the unexpected consequences of constructing a sentient being. Director Alex Garland uses efficient storytelling, a compelling narrative, and heady concepts to create a modern science fiction masterpiece that explores gender, scientific advancement, and the very concept of humanity, all in a compelling, suspenseful film.

Jurassic Park
Brainstorm
Paul Bullock
Joseph Maddrey
The makers of Brainstorm (1983) spent more than a decade transferring the revolutionary concept of an “empathy machine” from page to screen. Since 1984, the film has inspired viewers to imagine possibilities for the future. The screen story embodies the ambitions of sci-fi cinema going back to the 1950s, as well as the turbulent culture of the Western world in the 1960s and 1970s. It also foreshadows technological breakthroughs around the turn of the twenty-first century, making the film startlingly relevant to our digitally-enhanced information age.
This book shows that there's much more to Jurassic Park than a simple special effects extravaganza. Paul Bullock closely analyzes the key characters, story points and scenes, and the film's place within the context of Steven Spielberg's career as a whole. $15.00 paper 978-1-999334-04-8 2020 120 pages 24 illus.

CONSTELLATIONS (Auteur Publishing) Mad Max
12 Monkeys
Martyn Conterio
Too classy and well-crafted to be lumped in with low-budget Ozploitation titles, Mad Max (1979) is completely unlike other films made during the 1970s Australian New Wave. Director George Miller is arguably the single most important filmmaker in Australia’s history, bringing a commercial and artistic vision to the screen few of his compatriots have managed before or since. This volume examines everything from the film’s extremely controversial critical reception to its legacy today via a string of sequels and the creation of an entire subgenre—postapocalyptic action.
Susanne Kord
This volume examines Terry Gilliam’s 12 Monkeys (1995) with an eye to the film’s major themes, including mental illness, conspiracy theories, the impossibility of human closeness, and the nature of reality. Susanne Kord reads 12 Monkeys’s portrayal of time travel in light of Einstein’s ideas about time and the problem of free will versus determinism. $15.00 paper 978-1-999334-00-0 2019 120 pages 24 illus.

Inception
Dune
David Carter
Christian McCrea
David Lynch’s Dune (1984) is the film that science fiction—and the director’s most ardent fans—can neither forgive nor forget.This book is the first long-form critical study of the film; it delves into the film's relationship with the novel, explores the rapidly changing context of early 1980s science fiction, and takes a close look at Lynch’s attempt to breathe sincerity and mysticism into a blockbuster movie format that was shifting radically around him.
Christopher Nolan’s Inception (2010) partakes of various genres, including science fiction, the heist film, film noir, and the psychological thriller. While blurring the distinctions between genres, the film also explores how dreams are related to the conscious and unconscious mind. David Carter covers all facets of this complex yet highly successful film, in addition to placing the film in the context of the director’s other work.

AUSTRIAN FILM MUSEUM Film Curatorship

Archives, Museums, and the Digital Marketplace
Das filmische Gesamtwerk
German-Language Edition
Edited by Paolo Cherchi Usai, David Francis, Alexander Horwath, and Michael Loebenstein
Edited and translated by Werner Rappl in collaboration with Wolfgang Kukulies
Film Curatorship is an experiment: a collective text, a montage of dialogues, conversations, and exchanges among four professionals representing three generations of film archivists and curators. This book calls for an open philosophical and ethical debate on fundamental questions the profession must come to terms with in the twenty-first century.
In his film, Guy Debord (1931–1994) worked according to the following principle: do nothing you should, do everything you should not. Created between 1952 and 1978, all his films reflect this rule and confirm what he referred to as his “detestable ambition.” Gathered in a single volume for the first time in German, this publication unites the texts of all of Guy Debord’s films in a new translation.

Poems and New Media from the Magic Lantern to Instagram
The Polemics, Pragmatics, and Poetics of UbuWeb
In 1996, Kenneth Goldsmith created UbuWeb to post hard-to-find works of concrete poetry. It grew into an essential archive of twentieth- and twenty-first-century avant-garde and experimental literature, film, and music. In Duchamp Is My Lawyer, Goldsmith tells the history of UbuWeb, explaining the motivations behind its creation.
Mike Chasar rebuts claims that poetry has become a marginal art form, exploring how it has played a vibrant and culturally significant role by adapting to and shaping new media technologies. Beginning with the magic lantern and continuing through the dominance of the internet, he follows poetry’s travels off the page into new media formats.

Through an unprecedented glimpse into NGOs’ newsmaking efforts, Powers portrays the possibilities and limits of NGOs as media makers, with important implications for the intersections of journalism and advocacy.
