Soleil
Ô
Noah Tsika, Queens College, CUNY, USA
Med Hondo’s debut feature, Soleil Ô (1970), follows an unnamed African immigrant as he travels to Paris in search of work and a better life Instead, he faces unemployment, exploitation and a deep sense of isolation from French society Told through a non-linear structure and blending surrealist and satirical elements, the film is a searing critique of racism and the broader legacies of colonialism
Noah Tsika’s study situates Soleil Ô within its historical and political contexts, as well as within Hondo’s broader career and lifelong commitment to anti-colonial principles He considers the film’s depiction of the modern exilic experience as a cinematic response to anti-immigrant rhetoric and nativist sentiment in France Tsika also traces the film’s lengthy five-year production, examining Hondo’s guerrilla film-making tactics through which he staged scripted scenes on the teeming streets of Paris and captured the immediate reactions of perplexed passers-by
In doing so, Tsika suggests that by using the devices of documentary to tell a fictional story, and the devices of fiction to document a precise, seismic moment in world history, Soleil Ô daringly extends the techniques of film-makers such as Paulin Soumanou Vieyra and Ousmane Sembene into narrative, thematic and political terrain not previously encountered in African cinemas
The Cinema of Ann Hui
Aesthetics, Gender, and Displacement
Edited by Zhaoyu Zhu, University of Nottingham Ningbo, China, Weiting Fan, Chongqing University, China & Xueyan Cheng, National University of Singapore, Singapore
A central figure in Hong Kong cinema since her debut with The Secret (1979), Ann Hui was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 77th Venice International Film Festival in 2020 This book explores her distinctive narrative strategies and visual style, with particular attention to gender representation and the depiction of displacement within diasporic communities Bringing together essays by an international group of contributors, the volume offers a comprehensive analysis of Hui's filmmaking, from early televisual works such as The Boy from Vietnam (1978), to her recent documentary Elegies (2023) The chapters situate her formal and aesthetic choices within the specific historical and cultural conditions of Hong Kong and its film industry, demonstrating how her cinema is shaped by, and responds to, these contexts
The book also explores Hui's sustained engagement with gender and sexuality in films including Summer Snow (1995), All About Love (2010) and Our Time Will Come (2017), underscoring her creative agency as a female auteur By reworking Chinese aesthetic traditions to reimagine femininity and female subjectivity, Hui’s films are positioned here as open-ended and multifaceted In doing so, the volume deepens our understanding of Hong Kong and Chinese-language cinema, the representation of women on screen, and the ongoing reconfiguration of Hong Kong’s cultural identity through the work of a globally recognised filmmaker
Exploring Isekai
Mapping Worlds through Anime, Manga, and Light Novels
Edited by William B Ashbaugh & Shintaro Mizushima
Exploring Isekai offers the first comprehensive study of isekai in anime, manga and light novels in which characters from the “real world” are transported, summoned, reincarnated or trapped in fantastical realms
Challenging the misconception that isekai is mere escapism, the volume brings together an international group of contributors to consider how the genre reflects contemporary anxieties, desires and social structures through game-like world-building, moral frameworks and recurring underdog heroes Examining classics like Spirited Away (2001) alongside globally popular series such as That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (2013–25) and Overlord (2015–), the volume traces the thematic and aesthetic evolution of isekai, revealing how these narratives reimagine identity, labour and belonging in an increasingly digital and transnational world

The European Film Festival Carnival, Audiences and Spaces
Dorota Ostrowska, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK
To live through a film festival is to live through an intensive emotive experience Although some aspects of the film festival experience have changed over a long history of film festival cultures there are others that remain constant: an effort emotional and physical to attend a festival, excitement or festival buzz of being part of a festival, a sense of community of viewers rooted in the individual response to films, and the impact of seeing a film in the festival environment which ranges from pleasurable and inspiration through boring to outrages and abject
Dorota Ostrowska’s book explores the uniqueness of this festival experience for the diverse festival audiences through the concept of festive chronotopes It argues the importance of space for our understanding of festival experience as it is this space, intimate and collective, that shapes film festival programmes, moulds curational and programming practice and critical response, and drives the desire for the festive experience to be repeated and reinvented on annual basis The book explores the idea of festive chronotopes in relation to a myriad of European film festivals, international, human rights, documentary and migrant, each of which is seen as a manifestation of a particular festive chronotope: imaginary, utopic, crisis, migrant and indigenous Each of the chronotopes is presented as an expression of a different set of spatial relationships that bound the place, audiences and films of a film festival together

The Enchanting Kinora Domesticating Moving Images in Edwardian Britain
Elizabeth Evans, University of Nottingham, UK
Marketed as more affordable and safer than film cameras, the Kinora system, launched in 1903, was one of the first amateur filmmaking devices and represents one of the earliest attempts to create a domestic market for moving images
In The Enchanting Kinora, Elizabeth Evans examines the Kinora in its technological, industrial and socio-cultural context to explore how early attempts to domesticate moving images were configured She closely analyses 84 previously unexamined Kinora reels, filmed using the early motion picture device between 1908-1913 and held by the Smedley Collection These include 23 reels that were produced for public consumption and others that were meant solely for private viewing by the Smedley family She goes on to consider the reels as material objects, examining not only their content, but also how the collection was preserved and catalogued by members of the family Finally, she reflects on her own connection to the reels as the Smedleys’ great-granddaughter
In doing so, Evans expands our understanding of moving images’ emergence as part of a wider network of cultural practices in Edwardian Britain that featured within domestic as well as public and professional spaces
British Masculinity in Transatlantic Cinema
Ronald Colman and Basil Rathbone
Carolyn Owen-King, Independent Scholar, UK
British Masculinity in Transatlantic Cinema explores the Hollywood careers and stardom of British male actors who had fought in the first World War
In an apparently incongruous development in the years after the armistice, some of the men who fought in Scottish regiments during World War I found some degree of career success in Hollywood’s film industry, two of which included Ronald Colman and Basil Rathbone Through exploring transatlantic film history, this book uncovers the ways in which these men were presented in media and on screen, arguing that they carry with them, even in films made at the height of censorship, an appealing and attractive queerness Owen-King expands on Eve Kosofsky Sedgewick’s theory of homosocial/homosexual continuum and offer readings of film texts that use her theories to survey gender and sexual identities within Hollywood’s Golden Era

The Revolution of Indian Parallel Cinema in the Global South (1968–1995) From Feminism to Iconoclasm
Omar Ahmed, Freelance Film Scholar & Curator, UK
Drawing from over a decade of research and writings, this book takes you on an epic journey through the history of Indian Parallel Cinema (1968 – 1995)
India, the late 1960s A film manifesto penned by passionate cinephiles called for a new cinema An exciting generation of iconoclastic filmmakers were the first to graduate from the newly incarnated Film and Television Institute of India, seizing the moment to forge one of the first major post-colonial film movements What emerged was an unprecedented level of creativity, merging international influences with experimental, indigenous styles, and creating an aesthetic and thematic rupture, and that ultimately led to new ways of making films This is the story of Indian Parallel Cinema
From auteurs like Mani Kaul and John Abraham to Smita Patil and Om Puri, this book explores the origins, evolution, demise and legacy of a film movement that produced a pantheon of innovative filmmakers, in excess of two hundred films and a distinctly regional identity in which film societies, state funding and political insurgency were catalysts for a defiant, radical dialogue, much of it anti-establishment, that broke all the rules This publication considers the ways in which Parallel Cinema narrated a new ‘history from below’, using a range of case studies that includes Uski Roti, Mirch Masala and Amma Ariyan

Los Angeles and Film
A Cultural History of 20th-Century Hollywood
John Trafton, Occidental College, USA
This book explores the history of Los Angeles cinema and the complex relationship that American film has had with its host city throughout history
It is impossible to talk about the City of Angels without talking about its movie business The history of American cinema is so intertwined with Los Angeles that the term “Hollywood” is used interchangeably with “American film” worldwide From the early 20th-century migration of film pioneers from the East Coast to the emergence of local subcultures and global genres, John Trafton traces how the city has been imagined by insiders and outsiders alike
Key case studies include the L A Rebellion School, disaster cinema, and the intersections of independent cinema with the music scene and VHS culture The book culminates in an exploration of Los Angeles neorealist cinema – a form that centers marginalized voices and challenges the myth of Hollywood glamour

Reframing the Long 1960s on British Screens
Masculinity, Crime and Nostalgia
Estella Tincknell, University of the West of England, UK
Estella Tincknell explores representations of gender, violence, race and desire in British crime films and television series made during or about “the long 1960s,” contending that our understanding of this period is marked primarily by tensions between nostalgic myths of masculinity, power and whiteness and modern interpretations that challenge those dominant narratives
Tincknell blends cultural analysis and original research with close reading to examine a wide variety of crime subgenres from police procedurals and heist films to gangster tales and thrillers, comparing the approaches of historic texts like Frenzy (1972) and The Sweeney (1975–1978) with those of contemporary period dramas like The Trial of Christine Keeler (2019) and Endeavour (2012–2023) By examining changing representations of the police and the criminal between texts made during that time and texts set during that time for a twenty-first-century audience, Tincknell identifies the intersections between text, genre, nostalgia and popular memory as she traces how myths about crime are represented and recirculated over time

Figuring the Contemporary in US Popular Cinema, 1967-2022
Genre, History, Event
Eric D Smith, University of Alabama in Huntsville, USA
Eric D Smith explores how popular film offers us frameworks through which to historicize the present and to imagine alternative futures in the opacity of the contemporary moment
This book offers an original way to interpret the contemporary as form, presenting the idea of contemporaneity as historical concept and not simply as "period" in the temporal sense It explores how we might historize our current critical preoccupation with the seeming immediacy of the present This study offers a nuanced set of theoretical interventions and critical analyses tracking how a dominant cultural logic has unfolded over the last six decades by way of the historical evolution of popular cinematic form
In a "postmodern," "posthistorical" present, the representation of history must assume the forms of inherited plots and familiar genres periodized formalizations from another time that must ultimately fail to address our own but through which failures and disjunctures the Real of history nonetheless appears in negative relief This book is therefore about how we might (and must) figure the elusive history of the contemporary by way of such reified, secondhand cultural forms in their spaces of overlap or hybridization or in their failed generic closure

Screening Technology, Theorizing Posthumanism
Humanness and Embodiment in Science Fiction Film and Television
Liam Rogers, Bournemouth University, UK
Liam Rogers examines how embodiments of technological life come to be inscribed with qualities of humanness across mainstream film and television, so as to understand the ways in which posthumanism emerges onscreen
In order to make sense of the wide-ranging social, ethical and philosophical ramifications of such technologies, cultural commentators, researchers and philosophers are turning to science-fiction for answers This book considers how film and television respond to the question: what does it mean to be human in an age of technological crisis?
Rogers makes the case for a film-and-television-philosophy approach to examine what mainstream science-fiction can offer posthumanism in its technoscientific visions of the future Through close readings of popular films such as Her (2013), WALL-E (2008) and CHAPPiE (2015), as well as series like Black Mirror (2011-present) and My Holo Love (2020), it considers what it might mean to theorize posthumanism onscreen, what screening technology looks like, and, more importantly, why it matters In doing so, this book casts posthumanism’s relationship to screened media in new light It demonstrates the audio-visual ways in which films and television series navigate us through the current technoscientific landscape by offering us distinctly paradoxical theorizations of what it means to be human

The Bloomsbury Handbook of North Korean Cinema
Edited by Travis Workman, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA, Dong Hoon Kim, University of Oregon, USA & Immanuel Kim, The George Washington University, USA
This first handbook on North Korean cinema contests the assumption that North Korean film is “unwatchable,” in terms of both quality and accessibility, refusing to reduce North Korean cinema to political propaganda and focusing on its aesthetic forms and cultural meanings
Since its founding in 1948, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) has played diverse roles: a Cold War communist threat to the US, the other half of a divided nation to South Korea, an ally to the Soviet Union and China, one model for anti-colonialism to national liberation movements, an exotic political and cultural anomaly in the era of globalization
This handbook provides a solid and diverse foundation for the expanding scholarship on North Korean cinema It is also a road map for connecting this field to broader issues in film and media studies: film history, affect and ideology, genre, and transnational cinema cultures By connecting the worlds of North Korean cinema to broader questions in global cinema studies, this book explores the complexity of a national cinema too often reduced to a single image

The New-Wave Cinema Evolution of Society’s Art System
Golnaz Sarkar-Farshi, Philipps-University Marburg, Germany
This book introduces a novel conceptualization of “new-wave cinema” as a borderless phenomenon, akin to a “wave” that crashes upon established film aesthetics in a certain society Using Niklas Luhmann's systems theory, the book explores the correlation between the rise of new-wave cinema and the societal conflicts contemporaneous with its inception
The term “new-wave cinema,” historically attributed by film critics to specific film collections within different societies, has lacked universal applicability in film scholarship This book identifies the defining criterion of the new wave not solely within its specific aesthetics but in the transformative “break” that these aesthetic properties effectuate upon the prevailing filmic communication This “break” extends beyond singular films, manifesting within a substantial cohort, thereby justifying the label “wave ” Notably, this “wave” does not materialize as a result of a collective decision by filmmakers but rather in correlation with the societal “contradictions and conflicts” prevailing during the emergence of new-wave films This book delineates how the resonance of societal contradictions and conflicts in films, as a subsystem of art, can catalyze three different reactions to existing aesthetic and narrative traditions, thereby giving birth to new cinematic waves The analysis concentrates on three paradigmatic new-wave cinemas spanning three continents, namely New German Cinema, New Hollywood, and New Iranian Cinema
Animated Queerness
LGBTQIA+ Representation in Animated Media
Edited by Sotiris Petridis, Hellenic Open University, Greece
In Animated Queerness: LGBTQIA+ Representation in Animated Media, scholars from different fields come together to examine the ways and mechanisms animated films represent, suppress, encode, and celebrate queer narratives
This edited volume traces LGBTQIA+ animated audiovisual works across multiple decades, genres, and media platforms, while it explores implicit and explicit representation, fan creativity and intervention, corporate and social censorship, and global circulation
The volume is divided into four parts Part I includes historical and transnational approaches that highlight the queer legacies of creators such as Tove Jansson and Kunihiko Ikuhara Part II examines how audiences use fan-made content and interpretative techniques to change canonical narratives Part III analyzes global politics of representation, including censorship and intersectionality Finally, Part IV studies the ways contemporary animated audiovisual works experiment with queer futurities, posthumanism, and alternative temporalities In bringing these essays together, this book argues that animation provides a fruitful space for creating queer worlds in which characters, storylines, and audiences perform fluid identities and imagine new modes of connection and empathy

The Nightmare Before Christmas
Edited by Filipa Antunes, University of East Anglia, UK, Brittany Eldridge, Pennsylvania State University, York, USA & Rebecca Williams, University of South Wales, Wales
This edited collection considers The Nightmare Before Christmas as a milestone in animation and film history, considering the different layers of meaning and history of the film from pre-production to the present day.
The Nightmare Before Christmas (Henry Selick, 1993) has become a key point of reference in negotiations of genre and the boundaries between mainstream and cult cultures, both on screen and in the spaces of fandom, and in original and retrospective reception contexts where it often becomes tangled with nostalgia Contributors to this edited collection consider the film as a cultural object with significant impact on animation, representations of family and horror, and fandom and subcultures Covering topics including representations of fairy tales, Christmas media, cultural appropriation, family horror, merchandise, theme parks, and food, this work explores the film’s ongoing cultural impact

Point Break
Movies Minute by Minute
Stephen Lee Naish, Independent scholar, Canada
A minute-by-minute analysis of Kathryn Bigelow’s 1991 film, Point Break
Director Kathryn Bigelow’s film, Point Break (1991), follows rookie FBI agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) as he goes undercover to infiltrate the Los Angeles surfing community in order to dig up leads on a gang of bank robbers, who go by the name 'The Ex Presidents', due to their donning of rubber masks of former U S Presidents (Carter, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan)
Although Utah at first sees this assignment as a way to test his metal within his new department, the surfer lifestyle, and the relationships he develops with his surf instructor, Tyler (Lori Petty), and his surf guru/potential suspect, Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), begins to change his perception and his passions in life
On the surface, this film feels like a straight-up heist/buddy/cop procedural movie, infused with extreme sports, and 1980s action movie tropes; however, thanks to Bigelow’s kinetic directorial style, its use of surf culture, hard rock soundtrack, dynamic relationships that entwine romance, friendship, homoeroticism, paternal, and infatuation, quotable dialogue, and extraordinary surf scenes, place it firmly with the trend of 1990s action cinema Point Break acts like a time capsule of a bygone era and, simultaneously, a beacon for what lay ahead in the coming decades
Sisters
Movies Minute by Minute
Johanna Isaacson, Modesto Junior College, USA
A minute-by-minute analysis of Brian De Palma’s 1972 horror film, Sisters, weaving in Marxist feminist theory to foreground an appreciation of the film and bid for its enduring relevance for feminists, despite controversy surrounding its director
Sisters is one of De Palma’s most extraordinary and important films, and yet it is often disregarded, misunderstood, or underestimated The two main characters, Grace and Danielle, represent the second-wave feminist desire for professional autonomy and women’s psychosexual oppression, respectively Yet, this reading seems at odds with the abundant accusations of misogyny and transphobia De Palma has drawn throughout his directing career Each of this book’s 100 vignette chapters makes the case that whatever De Palma’s attitudes and intents, Sisters is a revelatory film for feminists, both for its formal diagnosis and estrangement of conventional gendered relationships under capitalism and for its absorption and reflection of the social contradictions of its moment
Contemporary Directors’ Cinema
Jacob Leigh, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
Contemporary Directors’ Cinema refreshes the argument about the role of the director through the practice of evaluative criticism The book identifies what makes nine recent films successful achievements by their directors and collaborators.
Each chapter gives some context for the director ’s work, but the central argument focuses on the style, form and themes of each film, while explicating aspects of point of view and tone Contemporary Directors’ Cinema argues that in each of its nine case studies the director ’s work is central to the achievement of economy, unity, eloquence, subtlety, depth, vigour, vividness and intensity By offering critical readings of nine films from mainstream film culture, Contemporary Directors’ Cinema demonstrates that cinema remains vital as a directors’ medium
The films discussed in this book are: Pain and Glory (2019); Shoplifters (2018); Parasite (2019); The White Ribbon (2009); Les Chansons d'amour (2007); The Bling Ring (2013); The Great Beauty (2013); Leviathan (2014); and Winter Sleep (2014)

Challenging Representation and Genre in True Crime Media
The Power of Disruptive Storytelling
Edited by Amy R May, Leandra Hinojosa Hernández & Victoria McDermott
Contributors explore how true crime media creators and audiences can disrupt traditional approaches to storytelling in the creation, promotion, and consumption of the genre, raising critical questions about power structures including ethics, representation, and voice.
Traditional approaches to true crime narratives follow a formulaic story arc that is often exploitative in nature, typically foregrounding the lived experiences of the perpetrator and the rationalizations for their crimes and told through the lens of law enforcement Contributors qualitatively analyze a variety of digitally mediated true crime content including news discourses, podcasts like Last Podcast on the Left, and television series like The People v O J Simpson: American Crime Story to illuminate the significant limitations of this approach Rather than taking a negative stance, however, this volume instead emphasizes the possibilities that this genre has to offer by challenging scholars, practitioners, and educators to rethink their own place in the current landscape How can we as creators, consumers, and critics harness true crime narratives in ways that honor victims and communities, uphold accurate and respectful representations, challenge dominant narratives within criminal justice, and ultimately transform the true crime genre through innovation?

Masculinities in American Cinema
The Evolution of Male Stardom, 1909–1941
Stephen Sharot, Ben Gurion University of the Negev
Stephen Sharot traces the evolution of male stardom from its beginnings in 1909 through the United States’ entrance into World War II in 1941, highlighting the influence of a changing American society on masculine identity and ideals
Drawing on conceptual frameworks from both sociology and film studies including hegemonic masculinity, the civilizing process, and star studies, Sharot analyzes the various masculinities adopted by male stars like Eugene O’Brien, Robert Montgomery, and Conway Tearle, among others In doing so, he demonstrates the integral relationship between trends in masculine personas, shifting gender relations, and changes to the nature of work and the labor force As constructions and articulations of masculinity among emergent classes were transformed, he contends, so too were their representations
While individual agency and ideology were significant factors in the formation of these personas, Sharot also situates them within the context of the film industry s “star machine, emphasizing the influential role of major studios and the largely manufactured and (re)producible nature of stardom

Screening Siblings in Contemporary American Film
Katie Barnett, University of Chester, UK
Siblings are everywhere in film, but their place in cinema has largely gone unstudied This book turns attention to the brother–sister dynamic on screen and the many ways it shapes how stories are told
Screening Siblings in Contemporary American Film offers the first sustained analysis of how sibling relationships have shaped some of the most influential films of the twenty-first century Exploring popular films such as Bring it On (2000), Legally Blonde (2001), Frozen (2013), Jurassic World (2015), and Black Panther (2018), Katie Barnett uncovers how contemporary cinema uses sisters and brothers to explore gender, family, grief, and identity She shows how teen movies use siblings to construct ‘safe’ romances for girls while reinforcing older brother gatekeepers, how depictions of sororities both challenge and reproduce dominant ideas of femininity, and how on-screen fraternities reveal anxieties around troubled masculinity
Barnett also explores how siblings, particularly twins, are utilized in contemporary horror to explore parental failure, grief and disturbed identity, and how representations of dysfunctional adult siblings are used to address loss and the impact of family identity on the self

Speculative Film and Moving Images by or about Black Women and Girls Watch It!
Karima K Jeffrey-Legette
Speculative Film and Moving Images by or about Black Women and Girls: Watch It! examines depictions of Africandescended women and girls in 20th and 21st-century filmmaking.
Topics include a discursive analysis of stereotypes; roles garnered by Halle Berry, the only Black woman to receive an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role; the promise of characters, relationships, and scripts found in works ranging from Altered Carbon, Lovecraft Country, and HBO’s Watchmen series; and a closing chapter that considers the legacy of Black women in horror
Jeffrey-Legette illustrates the ways in which recent texts explore the trauma endured by people of African descent in the United States of America in evocative ways In doing so, she provides a compelling interpretation of prevalent, well-received, and recurring images of Black women and girls in American popular culture

American Film and the Culture Wars
Battleground in the Trump Era
Terence McSweeney, Solent University, UK
Terence McSweeney explores the relationship between American cinema and what many have referred to as the “Trump era,” the “Trump age,” or even the “Trump phenomenon ”
This book contends that American cinema offers an insight into this fractious period and emerged as one of the primary battlegrounds on which a war of interpretation was fought, a frontline in what many refer to as the “culture wars ” This resulted in a body of films which should not be regarded as disposable entertainment, but rather as visceral cultural artefacts which reflect, engage with, and have even been able to influence the tumultuous period in a range of palpable ways Films discussed include: Sound of Freedom (2023), Top Gun: Maverick (2022), Get Out (2017), Superman (2025), Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018), 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016), and The Hunt (2020), among many others
McSweeney interrogates how American film emerged as a striking manifestation of the political and historical moment in which they were formed: engaging with a broad tapestry of social movements (Black Lives Matter [2013-], Me Too [2017-], and Times Up [2018-]); genres (superhero, horror, action, science fiction film); and key issues, debates, and events (gun control, abortion, religion)

Attachment Film, Emotion, and Cognition
Mette Kramer, Independent Scholar, Denmark
Attachment Film, Emotion, and Cognition is a bold intervention that seeks to center the bodily and affective dimensions of film traditionally regarded as “feminine”
The author uses attachment theory in an interdisciplinary framework with an emphasis on biology and a species-based understanding of pro-social behavior to approach films about attachment motivations
By blending affective and cognitive neuroscience research with tendencies deeply embedded in the humanities, this book makes a major contribution to the field of cognitive film theory The focus on attachment theory also makes a meta-generic address via its focus on romance and melodrama that makes it useful for other narratives that overlap affective and generic boundaries The book presents a model of attachment-film experiences with its inbuilt shifts in affective and cognitive regulative processes and makes an ambitious case for how engagement with attachment film viewing can be understood from both a universal and an individual perspective

100 Years of Laughter
American Comedy in the Twentieth Century
Garry Berman, Entertainment Historian and Freelance Writer
A comprehensive look at how comedy evolved across mediums throughout the twentieth century
Garry Berman celebrates a beloved genre, revisiting how audiences enjoyed comedy across the decades from vaudeville and radio to film and television, and more From early pioneers such as Charlie Chaplin to comedy groups like The Three Stooges and trailblazing women such as Lucille Ball to stand-up comedians like Jerry Seinfeld, Berman chronicles how everything from new ways of consuming media, political upheaval, changes in taste, and diversity of performers have shaped the comedy landscape of today He charts an insightful and humorous narrative that features reviews and comments by critics and observers, as well as insights from the comedians themselves
The book includes fascinating stories and fun tidbits behind not only the top comedians but also those who faded from public attention but are equally deserving of recognition for their comedic contributions Also discussed are often-overlooked aspects of comedy history from how comedians needed to adapt their skills to advances in technology to how the comedy world responded to major tragedies such as the Pearl Harbor attack and 9/11, and special topics such as the most popular gags, comedy couples, the rise of sitcoms, and the staying power of Saturday Night Live
Myth-Made Machines
The Stories Behind Artificial Intelligence
Dave Bradley, journalist & Kelly Vero, video game programming
A fascinating exploration of how our understanding of artificial intelligence has evolved across centuries as depicted through the stories and media we create Myth-Made Machines: The Stories Behind Artificial Intelligence explores humanity’s complex relationship with artificial intelligence through the lens of our cultural imagination From ancient myths of automata to today’s disruptive technologies, this book traces AI’s evolution in our collective consciousness The narrative weaves through centuries of literature, film, and philosophical thought, examining what people believe about the machines that will assist or perhaps replace them Organized historically, it explores how Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, and contemporary works like The Matrix and Black Mirror have shaped our hopes and fears about machine intelligence, even as we embrace the likes of ChatGPT in the workplace
Dave Bradley and Kelly Vero highlight how science fiction has reflected and influenced real-world AI development and how our cultural depictions align with current technological trends or diverge from them As we stand on the brink of an AI revolution, the authors critically examine our past through the lens of prose, poetry, philosophy, and film and invite readers to contemplate the possibilities and challenges that lie ahead
The Portrayal of Animals in Disney Culture
Edited by Kathy Merlock Jackson, Kathy Shepherd Stolley & Mark I West
The contributors to this collection examine the roles that animals – fictional and real – play in Disney culture, past, present, and future Using various disciplinary perspectives with overlapping themes, the volume contributors analyze intersections of Disney studies and animal studies, showing how these themes and issues transcend Disney culture
Arranged thematically, these essays speak to the complicated saga of human-animal relationships The starting point deals with how animals figured in Walt Disney’s early life and career, leading through the sections to then explore Disney’s childhood experiences with animals, his portrayal of animals in his Silly Symphonies, and his inclusion of animals in the propaganda films that he made during World War II There is also a focus on individual animated films and franchises that feature animals as case studies on the portrayal of certain types of animals in Disney’s animated productions, the animal types, and the representation of animals in Disney’s theme parks Ultimately, the scholars in this volume unveil the common themes that run through various Disney productions, including the advocacy of animal rights and the relationship between Disney adults and their dogs

Breaking into Song
Television Musicals from Glee to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Erin Giannini, independent scholar
Charts the evolution of musicals on television from song-based shows to the notorious musical episode
Breaking into Song traces the history of the musical on television, from its variety show and adaptational beginnings to the rash of single episode and full-on musical series of the 2000s Erin Giannini dives into the many musical series from Cop Rock to Glee and episodes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Community and more, while also highlighting the myriad ways music has been used in television, from launching stars such as John Travolta, to synergy in teen programs, and even as characterization and emotional underscoring in dramas
Beginning with Hull High debuting on NBC and Cop Rock on ABC, musicals made their way to television and never looked back These shows paved the way for today’s popular series such as Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and the subversive Crazy Ex-Girlfriend And while musical-focused series remain a small subset, the late 1990s to the present day have made it so numerous prime-time series across genres incorporate at least a single musical episode into their run This is a must-read for fans of musicals and television alike, interested in this fascinating subset of pop culture

Beyond the Monoplot
How to Write Unconventional Films (and Why We Should)
Chris Neilan, Edinburgh Napier University, UK
This book provides a toolkit for unconventional practice a comprehensive list of unconventional story shapes and the meanings they create, with accompanying case studies, including: one-act structure; two-act structure; passive protagonists; untimely death of the protagonist, and more
Conventional Monoplot has come to dominate screen storytelling practice throughout the Western world For the experimental, rule-suspicious, unconventional screenwriter, alternative storytelling models are available Beyond the Monoplot offers screenwriters and screenwriting students a new way of approaching and quantifying conventional practice, whilst equipping them with the skills and tools to subvert convention and expectation in dynamic and innovative ways
Where the revolutionary New Hollywood period of the ‘60s and ‘70s saw strikingly iconoclastic, original, rule-breaking narratives attracting enormous audiences and making indelible cultural imprints, today’s most widely seen films stick rigidly to the Conventional Monoplot model Whilst bold, daring films are still made, their impact is muted: Moonlight, despite winning Best Picture, was only the 92nd highest grossing film of its year And whilst great strides are made towards diversity and representation, story shapes remain cloistered within a consumerist and highly conventionalised form, against which this book pushes back

The Well-Made Screenplay
David Cottis, Middlesex University, UK
Examines the film careers and work of British playwrights who worked as screenwriters between 1930-1956
During the period between the 1927 Cinematograph Films Act and the ‘new drama’ of the 1950s, many British writers associated with the stage also wrote for films, bringing the techniques of the well-made play with them Some, like Bernard Shaw, Noel Coward, and Terence Rattigan were screenwriter-stars, part of the publicity of the films they worked on –Pygmalion, Brief Encounter, The Way to the Stars Others were less celebrated but had long, successful screen careers, such as R C Sherriff, author of Journey’s End, who worked on films as different as The Invisible Man, The Four Feathers and The Dam Busters Using the authors’ original archives, this book follows the way in which these writers adapted their stage skills for the screen, contributing to the post-war ‘Golden Age ‘of the British cinema, and creating the classic form of screenplay that continues today

Traditional Journalism in a Digital World
The Subculture of Community News Reporting Carol Arnold, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK
Traditional Journalism in a Digital World offers a distinct view of independent community media by treating it as a subculture, outside of mainstream local media Independent operators exist on the margins of mainstream media, and by recognizing them as a subculture, their struggles are revealed
The book features the personal accounts of a sample of UK independent publishers and follows them across a ten-year period It records their highs and lows, including how they responded to the Covid-19 pandemic One of the fundamental problems operators faced was that policy makers viewed legacy mainstream local and independent internet era publishers as the same, whereas existing policy favors legacy providers with their elevated status and superior lobbying power
This study reveals the absence of a level playing field Independents' coping strategies are revealed as they slowly organized themselves into a sector The focus is on UK operations, but the same approach can be applied to local media globally This book presents a unique use of classical subcultural theory and will appeal to both journalism scholars and social scientists alike

Rural Media Studies
A Global Perspective
Edited by Rashid Gabdulhakov & Marc Esteve del Valle
Rural Media Studies: A Global Perspective brings together scholars from across the world to examine how digital technologies, platform infrastructures, and evolving media practices are reshaping life beyond metropolitan centers
Although media scholarship has long privileged urban spaces, this volume foregrounds rural and remote communities as dynamic sites of innovation, struggle, and cultural (re)negotiation amid digitalization The chapters explore how rural actors engage with platforms, navigate shifting information ecologies, sustain journalistic practices, and adapt to technological transformations in everyday life, governance, and agriculture The contributions collectively make the case for rural media studies as a distinct and urgently needed subfield, one that challenges urban biases and widens the conceptual and methodological horizons of media research This volume will be of interest to scholars and students working in media and communication, rural sociology, digital anthropology, and political communication, as well as to journalists, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand the rapidly changing communicative landscapes of rural spaces

Trophy Cases
The Theory, Design, and Cultural Politics of Video Game Trophies and Achievements
Edited by Ryan Scheiding, Dan Staines & Sarah Christina Ganzon
An interdisciplinary and international roster of contributors explore the theory, design, and player practices surrounding video game reward systems, arguing for the importance of understanding trophies and achievements as a central aspect of video game design and play.
As PlayStation Trophies, Xbox Achievements, and other similar built-in reward systems have become widespread in the video game landscape, this volume asks critical questions about how these systems affect the games we play and the communities that surround them
Through analyses of a range of video games, from well-known franchises like Call of Duty to overlooked sleeper hits like Nier Automata and even niche otome titles like Hakuoki, contributors approach these award systems from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives to theorize their incorporation into the contemporary game market, the role they play as a component of game design, and the innovative ways in which players choose to (or not to) pursue them

Handbook of Sex and Sexuality in Game Studies
Edited by Matthew Wysocki, Flagler College, USA & Steffi Shook, Manhattanville College, USA
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sex and Sexuality in Game Studies consists of a comprehensive collection of essays that review and supplement current work focusing on sex and sexuality in games
The chapters provide insight into sexual content in games, representation of various sexualities, and player experience Together they contribute to a growing field of work concerning two, difficult to define, phenomena: the borders of sex and sexuality and video games As we frequently see debates and discussions over who gets to love whom and who gets to exist in their true self, this handbook plays a part in outlining the parameters of crucial issues within the games that we play
The Metal Gear Solid Series Critical Essays and New Perspectives
Edited by Steven Kielich,
University of Rochester, USA & Chris
Hall,
University of the Ozarks, USA
This collection, arriving in the wake of the 25th anniversary of 1998’s Metal Gear Solid, provides scholars and fans alike with a wide-ranging selection of critical essays on the franchise from diverse disciplinary and thematic perspectives
The essays contained in this volume, which are all new contributions from both established and emerging scholars, take up this crucial opportunity to consider and reconsider the cultural, historical, political, philosophical, and aesthetic impact of the Metal Gear Solid games in analyses spanning the series’ canonical entries, adding to the understanding of both well-studied installments and under- examined ones
These contributions connect themes that emerge from the games such as sexuality and queerness, rhetoric and ethics, and subjectivity and embodiment while also demonstrating how the series opens up broader questions about ecology, race, gender, militarization, pedagogy, and game design, that demand continued analysis and application Each essay develops new avenues for theoretical, rhetorical, and political exploration of the Metal Gear Solid series, for Game Studies, and for the study of Popular Culture writ large
