Edited by Ramyar D. Rossoukh & Steven C. Caton
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
The contributors to Anthropology, Film Industries, Modularity take an anthropological and compara�ve approach to capturing the diversity and growth of global film industries, bringing into relief common film produc�on prac�ces as well as the local con�ngencies and deeper cultural reali�es at work in every film industry.
In Bigger Than Life Mary Ann Doane examines how the scalar opera�ons of cinema, especially those of the close-up, disturb and reconfigure the spectator's sense of place, space, and orienta�on. Doane traces the history of scalar transforma�ons from early cinema to the contemporary use of digital technology.

Through readings of works of film, literature, and philosophy, Eugenie Brinkema shi�s understandings of the horror genre away from bodily gore and the spectator's shudder and toward how the genre's sequencing, order, diagrams, and treatment of bodies forces readers to confront ethical ques�ons of the limits of thinking and being.

Between the advent of print adver�sing and the dawn of radio came cinema ads. These ads, aimed at a cap�ve theater audience, became a symbol of the developing binary between upper-class film consump�on and more consumerist media. Profit Margins examines how the ad industry jockeyed for direct adver�sement space in American mo�on pictures.
Watson centers the discussion on extreme conflict, such as the Iraq War and the occupa�on of Pales�ne. Under these condi�ons, ar�sts and ac�vists aspire to document, archive, witness, and tes�fy. The result is a set of prac�ces that turn documentary media toward a commitment to feature and privilege the media made by the people living through the terror.

Reginald Rose and the Journey of 12 Angry Men tells two stories: the life of a great writer and journey of his most famous work, one that ul�mately that outshined its author. More than any writer in the Golden Age of Television, Reginald Rose took up vital social issues of the day – from racial prejudice to juvenile delinquency to civil liber�es – and made them accessible to a wide audience.
INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS
In the 1940s, folks at bars and restaurants would gather around a Panoram movie machine to watch three-minute films called Soundies, precursors to today's music videos.

In Pakistan, religious talk shows emerged as a popular television genre following the 2002 media liberaliza�on reforms. Since then, these shows have become important pla�orms where ideas about Islam and religious authority in Pakistan are developed and argued. Taha Kazi reveals how these talk shows mediate changes in power, belief, and prac�ce.
The documentary has achieved rising popularity over the past two decades thanks to streaming services like Ne�lix and Hulu. Despite this, documentary studies s�ll tends to favor works that appeal primarily to specialists and scholars. Reclaiming Popular Documentary reverses this long-standing tendency by showing that documentaries can be—and are—made for mainstream or commercial audiences. 5
