D谷j角 Viewed: Nation, Gender, and Genre in Bollywood Remakes of Hollywood Cinema (Suny Series, Horizons of Cinema)

Description

Siegfried Kracauer’s classic study, originally published in 1960, explores the distinctive qualities of the cinematic medium. The book takes its place alongside works in classical film theory by such figures as B谷la Bal芍zs, Rudolf Arnheim, and Andr谷 Bazin, among others, and has met with much critical dispute. In this new edition, Miriam Bratu Hansen, examining the book in the context of Kracauer’s extensive film criticism from the 1920s, provides a framework for appreciating the significance of
for contemporary film theory.
