NEW FOR 2017
Welcome to the 2017 Film Studies catalogue!
This is a particularly exciting year for us as we celebrate over ten years of the Traditions in World Cinema series. One of EUP’s most successful, renowned and well-loved series, it has gone from strength to strength over the years and continues to grow and thrive. Its success is very much down to the series editors, Linda Badley and R. Barton Palmer. I have worked with them for the past five years and it’s been an honour and a delight – sentiments I know that every author who has published a book in the series will share. Look out for our celebration events and discounts throughout the year, especially our series reception at SCMS in March! The Edinburgh Studies in East Asian Film series is also thriving. Over the next year, three new titles will publish in it: The Cinema of Ozu Yasujiro by Woojeong Joo; Eclipsed Cinema: The Film Culture of Colonial Korea by Dong Hoon Kim; and Hong Kong Neo-Noir edited by Esther Yau and Tony Williams. We will also publish a second edition of our bestselling undergraduate textbook this year – American Independent Cinema by Yannis Tzioumakis. Completely updated, with a new chapter, filmography and case studies, please do get in touch if you would like an inspection copy of this exciting new edition. I really hope that you will enjoy browsing all of our new titles. As usual, if you have any feedback, please let me know. I hope to see many of you at conferences and events during the year! My best,
Gillian Leslie Senior Commissioning Editor for Film Studies

Examines the aesthetics, concepts and politics of chaotic and obscured moving images Moving image culture seems to privilege the instantly identifiable: the recognisable face, the well-timed stunt, the perfectly synchronised line of dialogue. Yet perfect, in-focus visibility does not come ‘naturally’ to the moving image. Pursuing a range of approaches from aesthetics to phenomenology to production studies, the authors in this volume actively explore moving images in states of decay, distortion, indistinctness and fragmentation, while drawing upon key theoretical themes including affect, embodiment, visual signification and ‘legibility’.

Sculptures are literally brought to life on the silver screen, while living people are turned into, or trapped inside, statuary. This book examines key sculptural motifs and cinematic sculpture in film history through an extensive reference gallery, dealing with the transformation skills of “cinemagician” Georges Méliès, the experimental art documentaries of Carl Theodor Dreyer and Henri Alekan, the statuary metaphors of modernist cinema, the mythological living statues of the peplum genre and contemporary art practices in which film—as material and apparatus—is used as sculptural medium.
The Feel-Bad Film Nikolaj Lübecker, University of Oxford What do directors seek to attain by placing spectators in a position of strong discomfort? ‘Lübecker’s work throughout is illuminating, convincing, and contributes to making The Feel-Bad Film a valuable text, one that helps us to unlock and unpack the complexities of extreme cinema.’ Los Angeles Review of Books

In recent years some of the most innovative European and American art film directors have made films that place the spectator in a position of intense discomfort, sometimes by withholding information, through shock or seduction. Analysing films by directors such as Lars von Trier, Gus Van Sant, Claire Denis and Michael Haneke, this book explores why we are attracted to these unpleasurable viewing experiences, what directors believe they can achieve via the feel-bad experience and how we can situate the films in intellectual history.

Deleuze’s Cinema Books Three Introductions to the Taxonomy of Images TEXTBOOK
David Deamer, Manchester Metropolitan University Explores all the concepts in Deleuze’s Cinema books, using contemporary film readings as illustrative examples for each concept

Deleuze’s two Cinema books explore film through the creation of a series of philosophical concepts. Not only bewildering in number, Deleuze’s writing procedures mean his exegesis is both complex and elusive. Three questions emerge: 1. What are the underlying principles of the taxonomy? 2. How many concepts are there and what do they describe? 3. How might each be used in engaging with a film? David Deamer’s book is the first to fully respond to these three questions, unearthing the philosophies inspiring Deleuze’s classifications, exploring every concept and reading a film for each. Clearly and concisely mapping the Cinema books for newcomers to Deleuzian film studies, Deamer also opens up new areas of enquiry for expert readers. Key Features • An interpretation of Bergson’s Matter and Memory through Deleuze’s Bergsonism describing the ground of Deleuze’s film-philosophy • A reading of Peirce’s semiosis from Pragmatism and Pragmaticism explicating the genesis and components of the movement-image • An examination of Deleuze’s syntheses of time, space and consciousness from Difference and Repetition illuminating the genesis and components of the time-image • Concise engagements with each of the cinematic signs to assist reading Deleuze’s Cinema books, as well as commentaries and monographs that draw upon them • 44 film readings – one for each cinematic sign – to clarify their application

GENDER & FILM Indie Reframed Women and the Contemporary American Independent Cinema Edited by Linda Badley, Middle Tennessee State University, Claire Perkins, Monash University and Michele Schreiber, Emory University NEW
Explores the films, practitioners, production and distribution contexts that currently represent American women’s independent cinema
October 2016 320 pages 30 b&w illustrations Pb 978 1 4744 0394 8 £24.99 Hb 978 1 4744 0392 4 £75.00 Traditions in American Cinema
With the consolidation of ‘indie’ culture in the 21st century, female filmmakers face an increasingly indifferent climate. Within this sector, women work across all aspects of writing, direction, production, editing and design, yet the dominant narrative continues to construe ‘maverick’ white male auteurs such as Quentin Tarantino or Wes Anderson as the face of indie discourse. Defying the formulaic myths of the mainstream ‘chick flick’ and the ideological and experimental radicalism of feminist countercinema alike, women’s indie filmmaking is neither ironic, popular nor political enough to be readily absorbed into pre-existing categories. This ground-breaking collection, the first sustained examination of the work of female practitioners within American independent cinema, reclaims the ‘difference’ of female indie filmmaking. Through a variety of case studies of directors, writers and producers such as Ava DuVernay, Lena Dunham and Christine Vachon, contributors explore the innovation of a range of female practitioners by attending to the sensibilities, ideologies and industrial practices that distinguish their work – while embracing the ‘in-between’ space in which the narratives they represent and embody can be revealed.

In spite of harsh censorship, conservative morals and a lack of investment, women documentarists in the Arab world have found ways to subtly negotiate dissidence in their films, something that is becoming more apparent since the ‘Arab Revolutions’. In this book, Stefanie Van de Peer traces the very beginnings of Arab women making documentaries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), from the 1970s and 1980s in Egypt and Lebanon, to the 1990s and 2000s in Morocco and Syria. Case studies include Ateyyat El Abnoudy, the ‘mother of Egyptian documentary’, Tunisia’s Selma Baccar and the Palestinian filmmaker Mai Masri.

Examines a cycle of postfeminist films that adopt the conventions of romance American Postfeminist Cinema is the first book to examine the symbiotic relationship between heterosexual romance and postfeminist culture. The book argues that since 1980, postfeminism’s most salient tensions and anxieties have been reflected in the American romance film. Case studies of a broad range of Hollywood and independent films reveal how the postfeminist romance cycle is intertwined with contemporary women’s ambivalence and broader cultural anxieties about women’s changing social and political status.

Film stars are often seen as a Hollywood creation but this book explores how British cinema developed its own culture of stardom, creating female stars who were not only loved by British audiences but also internationally admired. Female Stars of British Cinema uses case studies of seven female stars whose careers span the period from the 1940s to the present day – Jean Kent, Diana Dors, Rita Tushingham, Glenda Jackson, Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Lloyd, and Judi Dench – as a way of exploring how British star femininities have developed over time, and how the image of the British female star has responded to broader social and cultural changes. These ‘women in question’ offer a way into the complexities of British cinema’s distinctive variant of female stardom, which has sometimes espoused glamour and sometimes rejected it, and which is profoundly entangled with issues of regional, national and ethnic identity, as well as class, sexuality and age. Exploring and investigating the variety of female stars British cinema has produced over the last seventy-five years, this book also interrogates some of the ongoing omissions and absences from that same firmament.

This introduction to American Independent Cinema offers both a comprehensive industrial and economic history of the sector from the early twentieth century to the present and a study of key individual films, filmmakers and film companies. Ordered chronologically, beginning with independent filmmaking in the studio era (examining both top-rank and low-end independent film production), moving to the 1950s and 1960s (discussing both the adoption of independent filmmaking as the main method of production as well as exploitation filmmaking) and finishing with contemporary American independent cinema (exploring areas such as the New Hollywood, the rise of mini-major and major independent companies and the institutionalisation of independent cinema in the 1990s), students will develop an understanding of the complex dynamic relations between independent and mainstream American cinema. Thoroughly updated to include developments from the mid2000s onwards, this second edition includes new case studies, a new chapter on American Independent Cinema in the Age of Media Convergence, a new prologue and an enhanced epilogue and bibliography. Each chapter includes case studies focusing on specific films or filmmakers, and independent production and distribution companies are discussed throughout the text. Films, filmmakers and film companies examined include: • Cagney Productions and Johnny Come Lately, Blood on the Sun and The Time of Your Life • John Ford and Stagecoach • The Charlie Chan series • Lomitas Productions, Stanley Kramer and The Defiant Ones, On the Beach and Inherit the Wind • William Castle and Macabre • John Cassavetes and Shadows • Dennis Hopper and The Last Movie • American International Pictures and Foxy Brown • John Sayles and Return of the Secaucus Seven

This compelling and theoretically informed exploration of contemporary American cinema charts the evolution of the impact of 9/11 on Hollywood film through a range of genres – war films, superhero movies, historical dramas, horror and even alien invasion films – each revealing a cinema not of escapism but one that engages profoundly with the turbulent era in which their films were made. The book includes a vibrant analysis of films as diverse as War of the Worlds (2005), United 93 (2006), 300 (2007), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), Zero Dark Thirty (2012), Marvel Avengers Assemble (2012) and many others.
In Secrecy’s Shadow provides the first comprehensive history of the birth and development of Hollywood’s relationship with American intelligence. Based on research conducted in over twenty archival repositories across the United States and the UK, Simon Willmetts explores the revolution in the relationship between Hollywood and the secret state – from unwavering trust and cooperation to extreme scepticism and paranoia – and demonstrates the debilitating effects of secrecy upon public trust in government and the stability of national memory.

In its heyday from the late 1950s until the early 1980s Italian horror cinema was often characterised by an excess of gore, violence and incoherent plot-lines. Films about zombies, cannibals and psychopathic killers ensured there was no shortage of controversy and the genre presents a seemingly unpromising nexus of films for sustained critical analysis. This collection brings together for the first time a range of contributions aimed at a new understanding of the genre, investigating the different phases in its history, the peculiarities of the production system, the work of its most representative directors (Mario Bava and Dario Argento) and the wider role it has played within popular culture.

Deploying the concept of slowness as an umbrella category under which filmmakers and traditions from different historical and geographical backgrounds can fruitfully converge, this innovative collection of essays interrogates and expands the frameworks that have generally informed slow cinema debates. Repositioning the term in a broader theoretical space, the book combines an array of fine-grained studies that will provide valuable insight into the notion of slowness in the cinema, while mapping out past and contemporary slow films across the globe.

Expressionism in the Cinema
August 2017 336 pages Pb 978 1 4744 2587 2 £24.99 2016
Edited by Olaf Brill, Freelance Writer and Editor and Gary D. Rhodes, Queen’s University Belfast From classical to contemporary narratives, this book redefines the expressionist aesthetic One of the most visually striking traditions in cinema, for too long Expressionism has been a neglected critical category of research in film history and aesthetics. The fifteen essays in this anthology remedies this by revisiting key German films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Nosferatu (1922), and also provides original critical research into more obscure titles like Nerven (1919) and The Phantom Carriage (1921), as well as films that were produced in the silent and early sound era in countries ranging from France, Sweden and Hungary, to the United States and Mexico.

Speaking in Subtitles Revaluing Screen Translation Tessa Dwyer, Monash University Places foreign-language film viewing at the centre of the screen media world Speaking in Subtitles argues that the oddities and idiosyncrasies of translation are vital to screen media’s global storytelling. Examining a range of examples from crowdsourced subtitling to avant-garde dubbing and the growing field of ‘fansubbing’, Tessa Dwyer proposes that film, television and video are fundamentally ‘translational’ media.

July 2017 224 pages 12 b&w illustrations Hb 978 1 4744 1312 1 £70.00
This edited collection looks closely at the range and scope of contemporary film musicals, from stage adaptations like Mamma Mia! (2008) and Les Miserables (2012), to less conventional works that elide the genre, like Team America: World Police (2004) and Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill (2003/04). Looking at the varying aesthetic function of soundtrack and lyric in films like Disney’s wildly popular Frozen (2013) and the Fast and the Furious franchise, or the self-reflexive commentary of the ‘post-millennial rock musical’, this wide-ranging collection breaks new ground in its study of this multifaceted genre.

Dale Hudson explores the movement of transnational Hollywood’s vampires, between low-budget quickies and high-budget franchises, as it appropriates visual styles from German, Mexican and Hong Kong cinemas and off-shores to Canada, Philippines and South Africa. Looking at contemporary hits like True Blood, Twilight, Underworld and The Strain, classics such as Universal’s Dracula and Drácula, and miscegenation melodramas like The Cheat and The Sheik, the book reconfigures Hollywood historiography and tradition as fundamentally transnational, offering fresh interpretations of vampire media as trans-genre sites for political contestation.

Twenty-first century film and television is overwhelmed with images of the undead. Vampires and zombies have often been seen as oppositional: one alluring, the other repellent; one seductive, the other infectious. With case studies of I Am Legend, 28 Days Later, Angel and The Walking Dead, this book reveals the increasing interconnection of undead genres. Exploring how the figure of the vampire has been infused with the language of science, disease and apocalypse, while the zombie text has increasingly been influenced by the trope of the ‘reluctant’ vampire, Stacey Abbott shows how both archetypes are actually two sides of the same undead coin.

Living in a saturated media environment, we are crowded from all sides by persuasive messages and information. Advice, promotion and propaganda form a spectrum of persuasion – and everywhere we see it performed in its full theatricality, complete with actors, scripts, props and costumes. Media, Persuasion and Propaganda guides the reader through the many varieties of persuasion and its performance, exploring the protocols of rhetoric unique to the medium, from orality and print to film and digital images. Using case studies and exercises, this innovative study poses challenging questions: • How do individuals and organisations exert influence to build communities and networks? • What role do media play in communicating persuasive messages? • How do we use recent discoveries in cognitive science to promote a cause, advocate social change or market ideas and products? • How do we defend ourselves against manipulation and undue influence? • When does persuasion turn into propaganda?
