Among the leading titles for 2010, we have new editions in our popular BFI Film Classics Series including Back to the Future by Andrew Shail and Robin Stoate; The Godfather by Jon Lewis; Invasion of the Body Snatchers by Barry Keith Grant; and from the BFI TV Classics series, Coronation Street by Andy Medhurst, publishing to mark the soap’s 50th anniversary. With the recent surge in popularity of animated world cinema and musical film, the BFI is proud to publish the beautifully-illustrated 100 Animated Feature Films by Andrew Osmond and The Sound of Musicals, edited by Steve Cohan. We are also delighted to be launching an exciting new series studying film and filmmakers, The BFI Silver Series. We publish a wide range of textbooks including Media Writing by Craig Batty and Sandra Cain, an essential resource for all journalism, media and creative writing students as well as a key new textbook, Communications Policy by Stylianos Papathanassopoulos and Ralph Negrine, which explores key theory and research in this subject area across culture, politics, economics and technology. We also have an exciting programme of scholarly texts including The Screenplay by Steven Price, the first book to combine detailed study of the theory, practice and criticism of the screenplay, and Richard Grusin’s analysis of the cultural obsession with ‘premediating’ the future in socially networked media, Premediation: Affect and Mediality After 9/11. Our groundbreaking new series Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies, edited by Andrew Hoskins and John Sutton, also launches this year.

Sweet Smell of Success James Naremore, Emeritus Chancellors’ Professor, Indiana University, USA
James Naremore’s insightful study of this darkly satiric and muchadmired film about the culture of celebrity in 1950s New York, starring Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis, provides new production information, a lively discussion of the film’s historical context, and a close analysis of the work of its various contributors.

2001: A Space Odyssey Peter Kramer, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies, University of East Anglia, UK
Peter Kramer’s study of Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey uses archival research to address how such a radical project gained studio funding; why the film took the shape it did, how 2001 managed to become both a critical and commercial success, and offers an answer to the question: What does the film mean?

Star Wars
This compelling study places Back to the Future in the context of Reaganite America, discusses Robert Zemeckis’s film-making technique and its relationship to the ‘New New Hollywood’, explores the film’s attitudes to teen culture of the 1950s and 1980s and its representation of science, atomic power and time travel.

Will Brooker, Director of Studies of Film and Television, Kingston University, UK
‘Another day, another Star Wars book, but this one does a rare thing – concentrate on the film itself rather than its mythos. There’s thoughtful stuff, suggesting SW continues Lucas’ development as an experimental filmmaker and arguing that Lucas is rooting for both Empire and rebellion.’ Empire Will Brooker provides a close analysis of Star Wars as a film and argues that it represented a continuation rather than a departure from director George Lucas’s early, experimental work. Brooker argues that Lucas is drawn both to the order and control of the Empire, and the energy and creativity of the Rebels. July 2009 96pp 35 colour photographs Paperback £9.99

Invasion of the Body Snatchers Barry Keith Grant, Professor of Film and Popular Culture, Brock University, Canada
With its paranoid plot of alien duplicates replacing average American folk, Invasion of the Body Snatchers was the first horror film to locate the monstrous in the everyday. Barry Keith Grant’s comprehensive study traces the film’s production and reception history, and explores themes of genre, communism and conformity and gender. October 2010 Paperback

The Godfather Jon Lewis, Professor, Department of English, Oregon State University, USA
The Godfather marked a transition in American filmmaking, and its success, as a work of art, as a creative ‘property’, as a model for other filmmakers, changed Hollywood forever. Jon Lewis places the film in the context of 1970s Hollywood and the gangster film genre, examining its status as a critique of the American dream.

100 Documentary Films is the first book to offer concise and authoritative individual critical commentaries on some of the key documentary films - from the Lumière brothers and the beginnings of cinema through to recent films such as Bowling for Columbine and When the Levees Broke - and is global in perspective. Many different types of documentary are discussed, as well as films by major documentary directors, including Robert Flaherty, Humphrey Jennings, Jean Rouch, Dziga Vertov, Errol Morris, Nick Broomfield and Michael Moore. Each entry provides concise critical analysis, while frequent cross reference to other films featured helps to place films in their historical and aesthetic contexts. April 2009 Hardback Paperback

100 Film Noirs
100 Road Movies Alistair Phillips, Associate Professor, Department of Film and Television Studies, University of Warwick, UK and Jim Hillier, Visiting Lecturer, Department of Film and Television Studies, University of Reading, UK
100 Film Noirs provides an authoritative overview of film noir past and present by examining its core films and themes and providing an accessible introduction to critical debates. The book goes beyond the classical canon to examine the ways in which noir continues to have a diverse influence on American cinema. It demonstrates the way that noir has intervened in other more established Hollywood genres and also considers numerous lesser-known examples of the field. Importantly, 100 Film Noirs has a strong international dimension and provides new and revealing insights into film noirs from France, Germany, Japan, India, Mexico and beyond.

This new series aims to present and discuss the work of the leading directors from across the world on whom little has been written and whose exciting work merits discussion in an increasingly globalised film culture. Many of these directors have proved to be ambassadors for their national film cultures as well as critics of the societies they represent, dramatising in their work the dilemmas of art that are both national and international, of local relevance and universal appeal.

‘Kudos to film writer Geoffrey Macnab for allowing a simple premise to blossom with such varied, interesting results…We are treated to insights into early lives, learn about how cinema was consumed in bygone decades, become intrigued about films we may have never heard of before, and gain insights into inspirations – often not the ones you’d expect.’ - Empire ‘Screen Epiphanies is full of such moving narratives. Collaboratively, they create a charming, jigsawed film history.’ - The Independent Screen Epiphanies brings together leading filmmakers from around the world to reflect on the films that inspired them to pursue a career in cinema or to rethink their own practice. This beautifully-illustrated volume includes contributions from Danny Boyle, Anthony Minghella, Martin Scorsese, Mira Nair and Lars von Trier.

‘Both an invocation and a loving catalogue, the book is rich in detail drawn from the history of the Bs before changing taste, alterations in the law and the irresistible rise of television rendered the species extinct.’ - Times Literary Supplement This is the first book to provide a thorough examination of the British ‘B’ movie, from the war years to the 1960s. The authors draw on archival research, contemporary trade papers and interviews with key ‘B’ filmmakers to map the ‘B’ movie phenomenon both as artefact and as industry product, and as a reflection on their times.

London in Cinema The Cinematic City Since 1945 Charlotte Brunsdon, University of Warwick, UK
Charlotte Brunsdon’s illuminating study explores the diverse cinematic ‘Londons’ that appear in films made since 1945. Brunsdon traces the ways in which film-makers show that a film is set in London - by use of familiar landmarks and the city’s shorthand iconography of red buses and black taxis, and the recurring patterns of representation associated with films set in the East and West Ends of London, from Mona Lisa to It Always Rains on Sundays.

Television Sitcom Brett Mills
Despite its global reach, longstanding popularity, and immense profitability, sitcom has been repeatedly neglected in theoretical work on television and media. This book demonstrates that this lack needs to be sorely addressed, by dragging analysis of sitcom up-to-date, with a wealth of contemporary examples, a range of new approaches to the genre, and examination of the roles sitcom and comedy play within society.

MEDIA AND CULTURAL THEORY UNDERSTANDING THE MOVING IMAGE SERIES
Understanding Audiences and the Film Industry Roy Stafford, Freelance Lecturer and Writer, UK
Understanding Audiences and the Film Industry brings together an introduction to academic study of audiences as ‘readers’ of films and an investigation into how the film industry perceives audiences as part of its industrial practices. The approach draws on ideas from film, media and cultural studies in order to present new insights into a range of puzzling questions: What makes the biggest box office films attractive to audiences? Why do films that work well with audiences sometimes suffer poor distribution? And what is a ‘cult film’ and how do such films gain their status? May 2007 illustrations Paperback

Review of the 1st edition: ‘This is a stimulating and helpful book, with loads of material and texts from a wide range of media. Despite having to bring in some difficult concepts, Nick Lacey’s obvious love and enthusiasm for his subject should encourage and spur his target audience - the post-16 media student - to a more careful and critical approach to all aspects of media texts.’ - AC Dewar, Media Education Journal Following on from the successful first edition, this book continues to offer a lively introduction to the concepts of language and representation. With helpful exercises and analysis of relevant examples, the new edition examines recent developments throughout the media for all students of film, media and communication.

‘One of the book’s strengths is the clarity with which material is organized...’ - Media Education Journal ‘The book is well worth buying and should become a well-thumbed volume on the shelves of students from entry level at 16 through to undergraduate.’ - Richard Harvey, In The Picture Media Institutions and Audiences completes Nick Lacey’s trilogy of self-standing texts that give an in-depth introduction to the key concepts of Media Studies at an advanced and university level.

Nick Lacey, Curriculum
Leader of Film and Media, Benton Park School, UK ‘The second in the Key Concepts series, this clearly presented textbook should reassure A-level pupils new to the subject and yet avoid patronizing undergraduates. The exercises are humorously presented and Lacey negotiates the complexities of narrative theory with confidence.’ - Sight and Sound Narrative and Genre introduces students to these key concepts in media studies. It covers the major narrative theorists including Todorov, Propp, LeviStrauss, Barthes and applies their ideas via case examples ranging from The X Files to newspaper reporting. It then moves on to offer an extensive analysis of the basic schema and conventions of genre, drawing on the film noir, the TV cop genre and science fiction, and showing how the repertoire of elements of each ranges across setting, character, narrative, iconography, style and stars. Fresh, down-to-earth and well-structured, this is an excellent text for all those in post-16 education, whether in school, college or university.

Steven Price, Lecturer in English, Bangor University, UK
After decades of neglect, the screenplay is finally being recognized as a form that deserves serious critical analysis. This book for the first time combines a detailed study of the theory and practice of screenwriting with new approaches to criticism and original studies of individual texts.
What does it mean to say Indian movies are melodramatic? How do film audiences engage with socio-political issues? What role has cinema played in the emergence of new economic forms, consumer cultures and digital technologies in a globalizing India? Ravi Vasudevan addresses these questions in a wide-ranging analysis of Indian cinema.

Rethinking the Femme Fatale in Film Noir Ready for Her Close-Up Julie Grossman, Interim Dean of Arts and Sciences and Professor of English, Communication and Film Studies, Le Moyne College, USA
In the context of nineteenth-century Victorinoir and close readings of originalcycle film noir, Julie Grossman argues that the presence of the ‘femme fatale’ figure, as she is understood in film criticism and popular culture, is drastically over-emphasized and has helped to sustain cultural obsessions with ‘bad’ women.

Alistair Rolls, Senior Lecturer in French, University of Newcastle, Australia and Deborah Walker, Senior Lecturer in French, University of Auckland, New Zealand
A longstanding misconception surrounding the term French noir suggests that the post-war French thriller and film noir were a development of, or response to, a pre-existing American tradition. This book challenges this misconception, examining the complexity of this trans-Atlantic exchange and refocusing debate to include a Franco-French lineage. August 2009 Hardback

Radio in Context
Sue Thornham, Professor of Media and Cultural Studies, University of Sussex and Tony Purvis, School of Communication, Joseph Cowen Building, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK
At a time when distinctions between television and film have blurred, and multiple TV channels offer us the chance to re-view TV dramas, there is still little attention paid to television drama as text or to ways of theorising such texts. This book offers both a clear account of theoretical approaches to television drama and readings of a range of television drama texts. Arguing that TV drama is a key site for exploring the usefulness of contemporary theories of identity, culture and representation, it offers a framework which links this analysis to theoretical concepts explored elsewhere in cultural, media and film studies over recent years. Each chapter provides a critical account of a specific theoretical approach, outlining its history and scope, and demonstrating its application across a range of TV dramas, ending with a close reading of particular examples. Contents: Introduction: Approaches to Television Drama / Part 1: Representing Television Drama: Television Drama and its Critics / Part 2: Stories and Meanings / Narrative / Genre / Realism / Part 3: Power and Subjectivity / Ideology, Hegemony and Discourse / Uses of Psychoanalysis / Part 4: Gender and Sexuality / Feminist Approaches / Sexual Subjects / Part 5: The end of representation?

HIGHLIGHT Premediation Affect and Mediality After 9/11 Richard Grusin, Professor of English, Wayne State University, USA
‘In this book, Richard Grusin demonstrates why he is one of the leading media and cultural theorists of our time. Lucid and convincing throughout, Premediation interrogates our mediatized futures, today. It is essential reading.’ - Andrew Hoskins, University of Nottingham, UK ‘Premediation offers an important counterpoint to the hegemony of futurism, a critical analysis of how visions and narratives of the future require more than a second glance. Grusin remediates his well known work on media, technology and time through an affective political sphere; one that, he argues, is cultivating an uncanny feeling of inevitability.’ - Greg Elmer, Ryerson University, Canada In an era of heightened securitization, print, televisual and networked media have become obsessed with the ‘pre-mediation’ of future events. In response to the shock of 9/11, socially networked US and global media work to premediate collective affects of anticipation and connectivity, while also perpetuating low levels of apprehension or fear.

Debating and Shaping the Urban Experience Janet Stewart, Lecturer in German and Visual Culture, University of Aberdeen, UK
Since the late 1700s new forms of visual entertainment have tried to simulate the details of nature: re-enactment has now become the most widely-consumed form of popular history. This book engages with the quest for definition and appropriate delimitation of re-enactment as well as questions about the relationship between realism and affect.
Providing a compelling analysis of debates in and about the modern city, this book draws upon architecture, history, literary studies, new media and sociology to explore the multiple connections between location, speech and the emerging modern metropolis. It concludes by reflecting on public speaking in the construction of the virtual city.

‘Cityscapes is itself complex and multilayered. The reader can re-enter it in different times and places to gain insights not only into the specific texts it discusses, but into ways of seeing the city. Highmore’s attention to the power of dynamics of city spaces is particularly laudable...One of the best things about this book is that it examines how racialized, gendered and classed city spaces are configured and contested as well as represented and rhythmed.’ - Susan Alice Fischer, Literary London: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Representation of London The modern city has many dimensions, both physical and imaginative. This book offers an innovative approach to exploring its complexity by focusing on the varied and often conflicting rhythms of urban life. Spanning the nineteenth and twentieth century, it draws on cultural texts as varied as Edgar Allan Poe’s London, Parisian department stores, colonial and anti-colonial Algiers, the North American cities of recent detective fiction, and the virtual city of The Matrix.

CULTURAL AND SOCIAL THEORY
The Body, Dance and Cultural Theory Helen Thomas, Research Director, London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London, UK
‘Comprehensive and illuminating...Students of contemporary culture will find her interdisciplinary treatment of dance in all its forms an essential text.’ - Professor Bryan Turner, Cambridge University, UK This book takes its point of departure from the overwhelming interest in theories of the body and performativity in sociology and cultural studies in recent years. It explores a variety of ways of looking at dance as a social and artistic (bodily) practice as a means of generating insights into the politics of identity and difference as they are situated and traced through representations of the body and bodily practices. These issues are addressed through a series of case studies.

PALGRAVE MACMILLAN MEMORY STUDIES SERIES
Northeast Asia’s Difficult Past Essays in Collective Memory Edited by Mikyoung Kim, Associate Professor, Hiroshima Peace Institute, Hiroshima City University, Japan Barry Schwartz, Professor Emeritus, Department of Sociology, University of Georgia, USA
Series Editors: Andrew Hoskins and John Sutton The nascent field of Memory Studies emerges from contemporary trends that include a shift from concern with historical knowledge of events to that of memory, from ‘what we know’ to ‘how we remember it’; changes in generational memory; the rapid advance of technologies of memory; panics over declining powers of memory, which mirror our fascination with the possibilities of memory enhancement; and the development of trauma narratives in reshaping the past. These factors have contributed to an intensification of public discourses on our past over the last thirty years. Technological, political, interpersonal, social and cultural shifts affect what, how and why people and societies remember and forget. This groundbreaking new series tackles questions such as: What is ‘memory’ under these conditions? What are its prospects, and also the prospects for its interdisciplinary and systematic study? What are the conceptual, theoretical and methodological tools for its investigation and illumination?
‘A landmark volume destined to be a classic in the expanding field of memory studies.’ - James V. Wertsch, Washington University in St. Louis, USA The problem of memory in China, Japan and Korea involves a surfeit rather than a deficit of memory, and the consequence of this excess is negative: unforgettable traumas prevent nations from coming to terms with the problems of the present. These compelling essays enrich Western scholarship by applying to it insights derived from Asian settings. Contents: B.Schwartz & M.Kim: Introduction: Northeast Asia’s Memory Problem / PART I: JAPAN STUDIES / M.Mochizuki: The Yasukuni Conundrum: Japan’s Contested Identity and Memory / M.Kim: Japanese Pacifism: Problematic Reflexivity / K.Fukuoka & B.Schwartz: Responsibility, Regret, and Nationality in Japanese Memory / PART II: CHINA STUDIES / X.Xu & L.Spillman: Political Centers, Progressive Narrative, and Cultural Trauma: Coming to Terms with the Nanjing Massacre in China, 1937-1979 / G.Yang: Alternative Genres, New Media, and Counter Memories of the Chinese Cultural Revolution / T.Liao, G.Zhang & L.Zhang: The Changing Fate of the National Anthem of China / B.Xu & G.Fine: Memory Movement and StateSociety Relationship: The Chinese World War II Victims’ Reparations Movement against Japan / PART III: KOREA STUDIES / D.Baker: Exacerbated Politics: The Legacy of Political Trauma in South Korea / C.Kim: The Chosôn Monarchy in Republican Korea, 1945-1965 / H.Kwon: Parallax Visions in the Dokdo-Takeshima Disputes / J.J.Suh: Epilogue: Caught between Contentions and Dialogues: Historical Memories in Northeast Asia / Index May 2010 320pp 10 b/w tables and 3 figures Hardback £55.00

Commemoration and Bloody Sunday Pathways of Memory Brian Conway, Lecturer, Department of Sociology, National University of Ireland Maynooth, Republic of Ireland
‘A rich account which C. Wright Mills would have approved of, linking private troubles and public issues. The ‘career’ of Bloody Sunday commemoration is mapped out with precision. Brian Conway portrays collective memory as virtually a living thing, changing to accommodate developments in the aspirations and goals of those who continue to remember the original traumatic event.’ - Bill Rolston, School of Sociology, University of Ulster, UK In this wide-ranging study of the politics of memory in Northern Ireland, Brian Conway examines the ‘career’ of the commemoration of Bloody Sunday, and looks at how and why the way this historic event is remembered has undergone change over time. Drawing on original empirical data, he provides new insights into the debate on collective memory.
Matthew Taunton, Independent Scholar
Many studies of fictions of city life take the flâneur as the characteristic metropolitan type and streets and plazas as definitive urban spaces. Looking at novels and films set in London and Paris from L’Assommoir to Nil By Mouth, this book shows that mass housing is equally central to images of the modern city.
Reality Television, Affect and Intimacy Reality Matters Misha Kavka, Senior Lecturer, Department of Film, Television and Media Studies, University of Auckland, New Zealand
Reality Television, Affect and Intimacy explains the appeal of reality television in terms of the affective power of the mediated image. In place of common objections that reality TV is ‘not real’, Misha Kavka argues that the feelings of intimacy engendered by unscripted drama are both real and socially informative.

In an extensive introduction to this second edition, Mulvey looks back at the historical and personal contexts for her famous article Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema, and reassesses her theories in the light of new technologies.
Teresa De Lauretis makes a bold and original argument for the renewed relevance of the Freudian theory of drives, through close readings of texts ranging from cinema and literature to psychoanalysis and cultural theory.
