Synopsis

Ranging from the mass culture critics to post-colonial and queer theory,
this film reader is an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the
main theoretical approaches within film studies. It provides students
with an opportunity to engage with primary sources in the form of edited
extracts from key critics. It also provides a general introduction and
chapter introductions which help to locate the extracts in historical
contexts, and explains their contribution to, and interventions in,
debates within the study of film. The intervention of cultural studies
is crucial to much contemporary work in film, and the editors lay
particular stress on an awareness of current transformations in
approaches to film.
