Film Theory and Criticism: Introductory Readingsby Marshall Cohen, Gerald MastISBN 0195024982 (0-19-502498-2)
Softcover, Oxford University Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Film Theory and Criticism: Introductory Readings'Book summary:Brought up to date with an expanded range of selections, extended historical coverage, and a dedicated pluralistic commitment, the third edition of this highly popular text on film aesthetics features major additions of contemporary topics in film theory--including psychoanalytic, feminist, and Marxist approaches--and new essays on television, horror films, and experimental movie making.
Of the 53 selections, 13 are new. The section "Kinds of Film" has been retitled "Film Genres" and concentrates exclusively on the distinctions within a single type of film: classical Hollywood narrative cinema. The final section, now called "Film: Psychology, Society, and Ideology" is substantially revised to take into account film's relationship to its consumers: how films shape or reflect cultural attitudes, reinforce or reject dominant modes of cultural thinking, and stimulate or frustrate people's needs and drives. Throughout the book chapter introductions have been rewritten to reflect today's concerns.
Current and comprehensive, the book that The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism called "the best collection available on the disparate comments in the fields of film theory and criticism" is now even better. [via]More editions of Film Theory and Criticism: Introductory Readings:

Southern Honor: Ethics and Behavior in the Old Southby Bertram Wyatt-BrownISBN 0195033108 (0-19-503310-8)
Softcover, Oxford Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Southern Honor: Ethics and Behavior in the Old South'Book summary:A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award, hailed in The Washington Post as "a work of enormous imagination and enterprise" and in The New York Times as "an important, original book," Southern Honor revolutionized our understanding of the antebellum South, revealing how Southern men adopted an ancient honor code that shaped their society from top to bottom.
Using legal documents, letters, diaries, and newspaper columns, Wyatt-Brown offers fascinating examples to illuminate the dynamics of Southern life throughout the antebellum period. He describes how Southern whites, living chiefly in small, rural, agrarian surroundings, in which everyone knew everyone else, established the local hierarchy of kinfolk and neighbors according to their individual and familial reputation. By claiming honor and dreading shame, they controlled their slaves, ruled their households, established the social rankings of themselves, kinfolk, and neighbors, and responded ferociously against perceived threats. The shamed and shameless sometimes suffered grievously for defying community norms. Wyatt-Brown further explains how a Southern elite refined the ethic. Learning, gentlemanly behavior, and deliberate rather than reckless resort to arms softened the cruder form, which the author calls "primal honor." In either case, honor required men to demonstrate their prowess and engage in fierce defense of individual, family, community, and regional reputation by duel, physical encounter, or war. Subordination of African-Americans was uppermost in this Southern ethic. Any threat, whether from the slaves themselves or from outside agitation, had to be met forcefully. Slavery was the root cause of the Civil War, but, according to Wyatt-Brown, honor pulled the trigger. Featuring a new introduction by the author, this anniversary edition of a classic work offers readers a compelling view of Southern culture before the Civil War.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Women's Realities, Women's Choices: An Introduction to Women's Studies'Book summary:The publication of Women's Realities, Women's Choices-- the first interdisciplinary text for an introductory course in women's studies--marks the coming of age of the field of women's studies. The result of a collective effort to devise a course that transcends the traditional academic boundaries, this text is completely interdisciplinary in approach. It incorporates research from all the major disciplines, including psychology, philosophy, medicine, and political science; covers the development of women from the classical period to the present day; and provides an accessible, scholarly text for the field of women's studies. While the central goal of this text is to introduce students to the research and theories that are of current interest to women's studies scholars, the text also addresses a wide range of controversial topics relating to sexism, such as racism, homophobia, and class conflict.
