Darkness in the Bliss-OutA Reconsideration of the Films of Steven SpielbergJames Kendrick, Associate Professor of Film and Digital Media, Baylor University, USA

Contributing to the ongoing project of re-evaluating Spielberg's place in cinema history, this is a reconsideration of Spielberg's most popular fi lms as ideologically and aesthetically complex works, best defi ned by an uneasy balance between light and dark. Through close analysis of a wide range of Spielberg's fi lms, the work demonstrates that they are only reassuring on the surface, and that their depths embody a complex and sometimes contradictory view of the human condition.

Adaptation Theory and CriticismPostmodern Literature and Cinema in the USAGordon E. Slethaug, Professor, University of Waterloo, Canada

Slethaug explores and accessibly dissects US fi lm adaptations, supplementations, and citations through a postmodern methodology. The work includes several case studies of major Hollywood productions and small studio fi lms, some of which have been discussed before

Useful for both fi lm and literary studies students, Adaptation Theory and Criticism cogently combines the existing scholarship and uses previous theories to engage readers to think about the current state of American literature and fi lm.

Poitier RevisitedReconsidering a Black Icon in the Obama AgeIan Gregory Strachan, Associate Professor of English at the College of The Bahamas. Mia Mask, Associate Professor of Film, Vassar College, USA

Sidney Poitier remains one of the most recognizable black men in the world. Widely celebrated but at times criticized for the roles he played during a career that spanned 60 years, there can be no comprehensive discussion of black men in American film, and no serious

analysis of 20th century American film history that excludes him. Poitier Revisited offers a fresh interrogation of the social, cultural and political significance of the Poitier oeuvre. The contributions explore the broad spectrum of critical issues summoned up by Poitier's iconic work as actor, director and filmmaker. Despite his stature, Poitier has actually been under-examined in film criticism generally. This work reconsiders his pivotal role in film and American race relations, by arguing persuasively, that even in this supposedly 'post-racial' moment of Barack Obama, the struggles, aspirations, anxieties, and tensions Poitier's films explored are every bit as relevant today as when they were first made.

Projected Art HistoryBiopics, Celebrity Culture, and the Popularizing of American ArtDoris Berger, Curator, Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, USA

Berger bridges a gap between art history, film studies and popular culture by investigating how the film genre of biopics adapts written biographies and projects art history for a mass audience. With an analytical approach, the book concentrates on two case studies Basquiat

(1996) and Pollock (2000). A translation from the original German, this is the first book to identify the functionality of the biopic film genre and showcase its implication for a popular art history that is projected on the big screen.

Magazine MovementsWomen's Culture, Feminisms and Media FormLaurel Forster, Senior Lecturer in Media Studies, University of Portsmouth, UK

This book offers the first comprehensive exploration of the scope of the women's magazine as a media form. Each chapter provides a case study of a different kind of magazine: different in media form or style of presentation or audience connection, or all three. Forster not only extends our definition of a magazine,

but most importantly, unearths the connections between women’s cultures, specific magazines and the implied reader.

The Comic Offense from Vaudeville to Contemporary ComedyLarry David, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, and Dave ChappelleRick DesRochers, Associate Professor of Theatre, Long Island University Post, USA

comedic writer/performers. The work analyses stand-up and improvisational comedy writing/performing in the work of Larry David, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert and Dave Chappelle. He grounds these choices by examining their evolution as they developed signature characters and sketches for their respective shows Curb Your Enthusiasm, 30 Rock, The Colbert Report and Chappelle's Show.

Cinematic ChronotopesHere, Now, MePepita Hesselberth, Associate Professor in Cultural Theory and Film, Leiden University, the Netherlands

Only by juxtaposing these cases and by looking at what they have in common can we grasp the complexity of the changes that the cinematic is currently undergoing.

AfterlivesAllegories of Film and Mortality in Early Weimar GermanySteve Choe, Assistant Professor, Department of Cinema and Comparative Literature, University of Iowa, USA

Afterlives analyses films and philosophical texts, all produced in the early Weimar period, in order to reflect on the time-based ontology of the film medium. Combining close readings of individual films with detailed

interpretations of philosophical texts, all produced in Weimar Germany immediately following the Great War, Choe shows how these films teach viewers about living and dying within a modern, mass mediated context.

Ecology and Contemporary Nordic CinemasFrom Nation-building to EcocosmopolitanismPietari Kääpä, Research Fellow, University of Helsinki, Finland

This book challenges the traditional socio-political rhetoric of national cinema by providing an ecocritical examination of Nordic cinema. Using a range of analytical approaches to interrogate how the national

paradigm can be rethought through ecosystemic concerns, the book explores a range of Nordic films as national and transnational, regional and local texts, all with significant global implications.
