Film Theory: An Introduction (Images of Culture)

This popular title had been reprinted nine times since its first publication and is an accessible account of film theory, aimed at both the cinema-goer and the student. 'Film needs theory' said Alan Parker, 'like it needs a scratch on the negative'. This book shows that statement to be invalid, in a series of chapters simply titled Politics, Semiotics, Psychoanalysis, Authorship, Narrative Realism and The Avant-garde.

History & Criticism

This interdisciplinary study of the early history of the automobile in the USA draws upon elements of urban sociology and historical geography to explore how the motorcar was accepted by an affluent class of society and interpreted as a means of achieving progressive, middle-class objectives. By examining the concerns of progressive American society, the author interprets the motorcar's significance as an instrument which adjusted to spatial discrepancies in order to accelerate the flow of goods and services, and acted as a safety valve for social tensions through personal mobility.

King Lear (Shakespeare in Performance)

Through a study of eight 20th-century stage and screen productions of "King Lear", this book examines the way in which performance and interpretation are bound together. It aims to show how different performances have illuminated the radical contradictions within the text itself.
