Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Studies of "Classic Hollywood" typically treat Hollywood films released from 1930 to 1960 as a single interpretive mass. Veronica Pravadelli complicates this idea. Focusing on dominant tendencies in box office hits and Oscar-recognized classics, she breaks down the so-called classic period into six distinct phases that follow Hollywood's amazingly diverse offerings from the emancipated females of the "Transition Era" and the traditional men and women of the conservative 1930s that replaced it to the fantastical Fifties movie musicals that arose after anti-classic genres like film noir and women's films. Pravadelli sets her analysis apart by paying particular attention to the gendered desires and identities exemplified in the films. Availing herself of the significant advances in film theory and modernity studies that have taken place since similar surveys first saw publication, she views Hollywood through strategies as varied as close textural analysis, feminism, psychoanalysis, film style and study of cinematic imagery, revealing the inconsistencies and antithetical traits lurking beneath Classic Hollywood's supposed transparency. Focusing on dominant tendencies in box office hits and Oscar-recognized classics, the author breaks down the so-called classic period into six distinct phases that follow Hollywood's amazingly diverse offerings from the emancipated females of the "Transition Era" and the traditional men and women of the conservative 1930s.

Brossura. Condition: new. Bari, 2014; br., pp. 227, cm 13x19,2.(Biblioteca Universale Laterza. 660). Di fronte allo schermo, dentro l'immagine, dietro la macchina da presa: spettatrici, attrici e registe, di quali desideri e identificazioni, di quali espressioni e di quali produzioni sono state protagoniste le donne nella storia del cinema? Sedute al buio della sala hanno imitato le loro eroine e si sono riconosciute in loro. Sono state dive irraggiungibili e insieme personificazioni di tipi sociali, come per esempio la New Woman degli anni '20, con la sua relazione inedita con il lavoro, il tempo libero, il sesso. Il libro interpreta le immagini di dive come Clara Bow, Barbara Stanwyck e Joan Crawford sino a Sophia Loren, Jane Fonda e Angelina Jolie. Ma ripercorre anche l'opera delle registe: partendo dal cinema muto, attraversa i classici hollywoodiani, le nouvelles vagues europee, il cinema d'avanguardia femminista, la narrazione sperimentale degli anni '70 e '80, sino al cinema indipendente degli ultimi vent'anni.
