The authors draw on a range of original sources, such as: Straw Dogs’ director Sam Peckinpah’s archive and an interview with his assistant; records of discussion of The Passion of the Christ amongst evangelical groups; press coverage and critical, audience and academic responses to the films; and the British Board of Film Classification’s criteria for censorship and how it was applied to the films.

his work of the period.
John Gill provides a revealing insight into Todd Haynes’ cult classic Far From Heaven (2002), the first single critical study of the film. Gill explores how Haynes confronts issues of race, sexuality and class in a surburban 1950s American neighbourhood, in a clear homage to director Douglas Sirk and
Claude Lanzmann’s epic 1985 film Shoah tells the story of the Holocaust through interviews with survivors of the extermination camps, bystanders who watched or participated in mass murder, and some of the perpetrators of genocide.

Grey Gardens(1975) is one of most important documentary films of the past thirty years, gaining the status of a cult classic. Matthew Tincom argues that the film reshaped documentary cinema by moving the non-fiction camera to the heart of the household, a private space into which film-makers had seldom previously ventured.

The Servant
190x135mm 978-1-844-57427-8
Barry Keith Grant, Professor, Film and Popular Culture, Brock University, USA
Peter Swaab, Reader in English, University College London, UK
Bringing Up Baby, directed by Howard Hawks in 1938, is one of the greatest screwball comedies and a treasure from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Peter Swaab’s original exploration of the film shows that at the heart of this classical comedy is a story as alarming as it is exhilarating, a dream of irresponsibility and a vindication of letting go.
With its paranoid plot of alien duplicates replacing average American folk, Invasion of the Body Snatchers was the first horror film to locate the monstrous in the everyday. Barry Keith Grant’s comprehensive study traces the film’s production and reception history, and explores themes of genre, communism and conformity and gender.

The Godfather
Star Wars
Gilda Will Brooker, Director of Studies, Film and Television, Kingston University, UK
Jon Lewis, Professor of English, Oregon State University, USA
‘Combining narrative analysis and production history, this slender book reminds us why Francis Ford Coppola’s first episode in The Godfather trilogy has been accorded the top spot in numerous polls of the greatest film of all time.’ - The Independent
The Godfather marked a transition in American filmmaking, and its success, as a work of art, as a creative ‘property’, as a model for other filmmakers, changed Hollywood forever. Jon Lewis places the film in the context of 1970s Hollywood and the gangster film genre, examining its status as a critique of the American dream. September 2010 96pp 65 colour photographs Paperback £9.99
Will Brooker provides a close analysis of Star Wars as a film and argues that it represented a continuation rather than a departure from director George Lucas’s early, experimental work. Brooker argues that Lucas is drawn both to the order and control of the Empire, and the energy and creativity of the Rebels.
Melvyn Stokes’s study of the 1946 classic Gilda describes the film’s production and reception history, as well as addressing Rita Hayworth’s complex star persona and ethnicity identity; Gilda‘s status as a ‘noir’ film; and what the film had to say about relations between men and women in a world transformed by war.

Law and Order Charlotte Brunsdon, Professor of Film and Television Studies, University of Warwick, UK
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Charlotte Brunsdon puts Law and Order in the broader social context of the 1970s, demonstrating the way the films comment on contemporary scandals about policing and prison, and exploring the outrage that the broadcast caused which led to the year-long exclusion of BBC news teams from prisons.

'...this compendium couldn’t be better timed. Flaunting both excellent taste and in-depth knowledge, Osmond‘s book certainly won’t disappoint aficionados...’ - Total Film ‘...the effect is that we consider not only the individual title in question, but also the history of animated cinema as a whole; for Osmond it is all interconnected, and rightly so.’ - The Digital Fix ‘...a learned attempt at an overview of full-length cinematic animation from the sublime to the whimsical...’ - The Evening Standard '...a thoughtful romp through every animation discipline...If you want animation-buff status, seeing this ton of ‘toons armed with Osmond’s insights is a pretty good place to start.’ - Empire Magazine The animated feature film has been long underrepresented in film criticism. Yet animated films have probably never been a stronger force in world cinema than they are today. This book discusses 100 key animated films from around the world, from Shrek to Svankmajer.

In 1945, the outlook for Britain, and British films, was summed-up in two film titles: The Way Ahead and Great Expectations. By 1958 a new generation asserted its disenchantment with two counter-titles: Room at the Top and Look Back in Anger. Raymond Durgnat here takes as his concern the middleclass view of life as expressed in British cinema, its origins, its limitations, and its response to - the often boisterous - winds of change. Durgnat’s classic study of Brithish cinema is reissued with a new foreward by Kevin Gough- Yates. September 2011 288pp b/w photographs Hardback £55.00 Paperback £16.99

Richard Roud’s seminal study of Jean-Luc Godard places the director in the context of modern European cinema, on which Godard’s work has been hugely influential, and considers Godard’s ‘political’ cinema, including the ferocious masterpiece Weekend.

‘Kudos to film writer Geoffrey Macnab for allowing a simple premise to blossom with such varied, interesting results...We are treated to insights into early lives, learn about how cinema was consumed in bygone decades, become intrigued about films we may have never heard of before, and gain insights into inspirations - often not the ones you’d expect.’ - Empire ‘Screen Epiphanies is full of such moving narratives. Collaboratively, they create a charming, jigsawed film history.’ - The Independent Screen Epiphanies brings together leading filmmakers from around the world to reflect on the films that inspired them to pursue a career in cinema or to rethink their own practice. This beautifully-illustrated volume includes contributions from Danny Boyle, Anthony Minghella, Martin Scorsese, Mira Nair and Lars von Trier.

Film Moments A History of Experimental Film and Video
Criticism, History, Theory Edited by James Walters, Lecturer, Film and Television Studies, University of Birmingham, UK and Tom Brown, Lecturer, Department of Film, Theatre and Television, University of Reading, UK
2nd edition A.L.Rees, Research Tutor, Department of Visual Communication, Royal College of Art, UK
Avant-garde film is in a constant state of change and redefinition. In this history, A.L.Rees tracks the movement of the avant-garde film between, on the one hand, the cinema, and, on the other hand, modern art (with its postmodern coda). He also reconstitutes the avant-garde film as an independent form of art practice with its own internal logic and aesthetic discourse. This history of avant-garde film and video ranges from Cezanne and Dada, via Cocteau, Brakhage and Le Grice, to the new wave of British video artists in the 1990s. This new edition has been revised and updated to reflect developments in the practice and criticism of experimental film and video.

Understanding Audiences and the Film Industry brings together an introduction to academic study of audiences as ‘readers’ of films and an investigation into how the film industry perceives audiences as part of its industrial practices. The approach draws on ideas from film, media and cultural studies in order to present new insights into a range of puzzling questions: What makes the biggest box office films attractive to audiences? Why do films that work well with audiences sometimes suffer poor distribution? And what is a ‘cult film’ and how do such films gain their status?

'The text intervenes convincingly into some entrenched and ongoing debates and disputes, and in doing so offers a lot more than a mere introduction.

‘By studying screen genres in tandem with Asian cultures, this collection provides wide-ranging views of the mediatized discursive formations taking shape around a major geopolitical nexus. A richly informed and informative contribution.’ - Rey Chow, Duke University, USA ‘This is a welcome, necessary and indeed longoverdue collection on Asian film and television, conceived on the basis of the highly original genres they either generated or creatively remodelled. The impressive array of specialized contributors, as well as the detailed textual and contextual analyses they undertake at each chapter, invariably stand out for their unique insights and sovereign independence from the usual paradigms provided by Western genres. This will be required reading for anyone interested in Asia and its formidable audiovisual output.’ - Lúcia Nagib, Centenary Professor of World Cinemas, University of Leeds, UK Genre in Asian Film and Television takes a dynamic approach to the study of Asian screen media previously under-represented in academic writing. It combines historical overviews of developments within national contexts with detailed case studies on the use of generic conventions and genre hybridity in contemporary films and television programmes.

Valuing Films Shifting Perceptions of Worth Edited by Laura Hubner, Senior Lecturer, University of Winchester, UK
Valerie Barnes Lipscomb, Visiting Assistant Professor of English, University of South Florida, USA and Leni Marshall, Assistant Professor, Century College, USA
‘This special collection of essays is a valuable addition to a subject that has been neglected in film studies over the past few decades. Containing a diverse number of articles covering different films, by various critics from Britain and the United States, it provides insightful and new readings into an area that deserves further exploration, as the very important introduction and epilogue by its editor reveals. A worthy addition to the area of film studies.’ - Tony Williams, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, USA ‘Film studies has been slow to acknowledge how central debates about value must be to its concerns. This welcome collection opens up a wide range of value debates, many of which were foreclosed by cinema’s need to achieve respectability as an art. Ranging from classic vs modern Hollywood, and European art cinema’s problematic status, to the newer frontiers of Japanese anime, Mexican popular cinema and Nigeria’s Nollywood, the authors display an encouraging appetite for new sources of data, new audience attitudes, and the self-evident fact that value motivates much of our media behaviour.’ - Ian Christie, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK
This text explores how performers offer consciousand unconscious-portrayals of the spectrum of age to their audiences. It considers a variety of media, including theatre, film, dance, advertising, and television, and offers critical foundations for research and course design, sound pedagogical approaches, and analyses.
This volume gets to the heart of what films mean to people on personal, political and commercial levels. Exploring value judgements that underpin social, academic and institutional practices, it examines the diverse forms of worth attributed to a range of international films in relation to taste, passion, morality and aesthetics.

Boaz Hagin, Film and Television Department, Tel Aviv University, Israel
‘This highly original study is a rigorous, provocative and entertaining account of the different meanings associated with death in classical Hollywood cinema. Analyzing an impressive range of films with flair and theoretical sophistication, it shows how death becomes meaningful in art.

Embodied Performances Sexuality, Gender, Bodies Beatrice Allegranti, Senior Lecturer/Co-ordinator, Dance Movement Psychotherapy Programme, Roehampton University, UK
‘Dr Allegranti offers a rare addition to the literature concerning Dance Movement Psychotherapy, in which she deconstructs taken-for-granted ideas surrounding gender and sexuality through the medium of dance performance and film. In so doing she has traversed several media, expertly negotiating and performing her own identities as therapist, choreographer, film maker and writer. The result is a text with accompanying film resources that will challenge a range of practitioners and academics, including social scientists interested in looking afresh at gender and sexuality as performed identities.’ - Bonnie Meekums, Lecturer, University of Leeds, UK With a companion website that includes short online film episodes, this book proposes expansive ways of deconstructing and re-constituting sexuality and gender and thus more embodied and ethical ways of ‘doing’ life, and offers an understanding and critique of embodiment through an integration of performance, psychotherapy and feminist philosophy.

Sherril Dodds, Lecturer in Dance Studies, University of Surrey, UK
Maaike Bleeker, Professor of Theatre and Dance, Utrecht University, The Netherlands
‘This is a very wellresearched, thoughtful, and thoroughly argued study, which should have a significant impact on the dance studies field. Dancing on the Canon contextualizes the reasons for popular dance’s traditionally 'low' status and provides much needed discussion about the potential of popular and social dance scholarship.’ - Julie Malnig, Associate Professor of Theatre and Dance Performance, New York University, USA
This book, now in paperback, examines visuality, demonstrating the use of new theoretical insights into vision for the analysis of theatre and performance and simultaneously shows theatre and performance to be an excellent ‘theoretical object’ for exploring the cultural, historical and embodied character of visuality.
Employing a cultural theory approach, this book explores the relationship between popular dance and value. It traces the shifting value systems that underpin popular dance scholarship and considers how different dancing communities articulate complex expressions of judgment, significance and worth through their embodied practice.

CULTURAL AND SOCIAL THEORY
Politics, Policy and the Discourses of Heritage in Britain
The Social Impact of the Arts An Intellectual History Eleonora Belfiore, Assistant Professor of Cultural Policy Studies and Oliver Bennett, Professor of Cultural Policy Studies, both at University of Warwick, UK
Emma Waterton, Lecturer in Social Science, University of Western Sydney, Australia
‘The diversity of contemporary societies, Britain among them, raises pressing and profound questions concerning social inclusion and exclusion and the dangers of equating multiculturalism and plurality with assimilation. Politics, Policy and the Discourses of Heritage in Britain, with its timely and carefully nuanced call for more complex narratives and representations of heritage as a medium of cultural policy, is essential reading for academics and policy-makers concerned with the ways in which heritage can both impede but also articulate the realization of diverse and plural societies.’ - Brian Graham, Emeritus Professor of Human Geography, University of Ulster, UK This book offers a critique of the dominant conceptualization of heritage found in policy, which tends to privilege the white, middle and upper classes. Using Britain as an illustration, Waterton explores how and why recent policies continue to lean towards the predictable melding of cultural diversity with tendencies of assimilation.

CULTURAL AND SOCIAL THEORY Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies series Series Editors: Andrew Hoskins and John Sutton The nascent field of Memory Studies emerges from contemporary trends that include a shift from concern with historical knowledge of events to that of memory, from 'what we know' to 'how we remember it'; changes in generational memory; the rapid advance of technologies of memory; panics over declining powers of memory, which mirror our fascination with the possibilities of memory enhancement and the development of trauma narratives in reshaping the past. These factors have contributed to an intensification of public discourses on our past over the last thirty years. Technological, political, interpersonal, social and cultural shifts affect what, how and why people and societies remember and forget. This groundbreaking new series tackles questions such as: What is 'memory' under these conditions? What are its prospects, and also the prospects for its interdisciplinary and systematic study? What are the conceptual, theoretical and methodological tools for its investigation and illumination?
Astrid Erll, Professor of English Literature and Culture, Bergische Universitaet Wuppertal, Germany
This book questions the sociocultural dimensions of remembering. It offers an overview of the history and theory of memory studies through the lens of sociology, political science, anthropology, psychology, literature, art and media studies, documenting current international and interdisciplinary memory research in an unprecedented way.

On Media Memory
Violent Pasts in Public Places
Collective Memory in a New Media Age
Edited by Erica Lehrer, Concordia University, Canada, Cynthia E. Milton, University of Montreal, Canada and Monica Eileen Patterson, Concordia University, Canada
‘How to put difficult knowledge on public display is one of the biggest challenges for curators. It is also of major importance in contemporary civic life: what should be said and shown in museums, and how? This raises fascinating and complex intellectual and political questions. This book exposes and tackles these brilliantly through excellent discussion of a wide range of provocative cases. It should be read by anybody concerned with the dilemmas of curating difficult knowledge.’- Sharon Macdonald, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Manchester, UK This volume inscribes an innovative domain of inquiry, bringing museum and heritage studies to bear on questions of transitional justice, memory and post-conflict reconciliation. As practitioners, artists, curators, activists and academics, the contributors explore the challenges of bearing witness to past conflicts.

Essays in Collective Memory
Commemoration and Bloody Sunday
Edited by Mikyoung Kim, Associate Professor, Hiroshima Peace Institute, Hiroshima City University, Japan and Barry Schwartz, Professor Emeritus, Department of Sociology, University of Georgia, USA
Brian Conway, Lecturer, Department of Sociology, National University of Ireland Maynooth, Republic of Ireland
Northeast Asia’s Difficult Past
Pathways of Memory
The problem of memory in China, Japan and Korea involves a surfeit rather than a deficit of memory, and the consequence of this excess is negative: unforgettable traumas prevent nations from coming to terms with the problems of the present. These compelling essays enrich Western scholarship by applying to it insights derived from Asian settings.
In this wide-ranging study of the politics of memory in Northern Ireland, Brian Conway examines the ‘career’ of the commemoration of Bloody Sunday, and looks at how and why the way this historic event is remembered has undergone change over time. Drawing on original empirical data, he provides new insights into the debate on collective memory.

‘A serious, scholarly and essential intervention into memory studies. Using the lens of globalization, the book clearly shows how memory should be understood dynamically beyond states and nations. A lively and rich range of original work by leading scholars in the field.’- Dr Anna Reading, London South Bank University, UK
For those who study memory, there is a nagging concern that memory studies are inherently backwardlooking, and that memory itself hinders efforts to move forward. Unhinging memory from the past, this book brings together an interdisciplinary group of prominent scholars who bring the future into the study of memory.
Evelyn B. Tribble, Professor and Nicholas Keene, Research Fellow, both at University of Otago, New Zealand
This book unites research in philosophy and cognitive science with cultural history to re-examine memory in early modern religious practices.

‘This is an outstanding study of the histories and meanings of social realism in Britain since 1940, which is as attentive to the diversity of its forms and politics, as it is imaginative about its possibilities. ’ - John Brannigan, University College Dublin, Republic of Ireland This is the first book of its kind to look across disciplines at this vital aspect of British art, literature and culture. It brings the various intertwined histories of social realism into historical perspective, and argues that this sometimes marginalized genre is still an important reference point for creativity in Britain.
This book is about the new politics of leisure and pleasure - the values, practices, struggles and contradictions that now characterize the social worlds of rambling, drinking, tourism, sex, watching TV, gambling, the internet, reading, comedy, sport, popular music and censorship.

The Making of London London’s Textual Lives from Thatcher to New Labour Sebastian Groes, Lecturer in English Literature, Roehampton University, UK
‘Groes has produced an impressive book, wide-ranging in its scope, subtle in its analysis and adept at keeping numerous intellectual balls in the air. It will, I have little doubt, become a standard text for students and academics working on ‘contemporary’ London literature, and English literature more generally.’ - Alex Murray, University of Exeter, UK London has become the focus of a ferocious imaginative energy since the rise of Thatcher. The Making of London analyzes the body of work by writers who have committed their writing to the many lives of a city undergoing complex transformations, tracing a major shift in the representation of the capital city.
