Presenting new and diverse scholarship, this collection brings together original essays that explore American film history from a fresh perspective. Comprising an introduction and 34 chapters written by leading scholars from around the globe, and edited by Pamela Robertson Wojcik and Paula J. Massood, this collection offers discussions of the American film industry from previously unexplored vantage points. Rather than follow a chronological format, as with most film histories, this Companion offers a multiplicity of approaches to historiography and is arranged according to often underdeveloped or overlooked areas in American film, including topics such as alternate archives, hidden labor, histories of style, racialized technologies, cinema’s material cultures, spectators and fans, transnational film production, intermedial histories, history in and about films, and the historical afterlives of cinema. An exciting collection for serious film studies students and scholars interested in new perspectives and fresh approaches to thinking about and doing American film history.Book Details
