Unlike most film studies titles, Explorations in New Cinema History is concerned with the circulation and reception of cinema, rather than its prodution. It considers the commercial activities of film distribution and exhibition, the political and legal issues that underpinned them, and the history of cinema's audiences. Explorations is rigorously empirical, compiling the quantitative research of cutting-edge scholars in essays that start overdue conversations between cinema history and other disciplines. Their insightful essays make this an engaging read for all students of film history and cinema studies.
Explorations in New Cinema History brings together cutting-edge research by the leading scholars in the field to identify new approaches to writing and understanding the social and cultural history of cinema, focusing on cinema's audiences, the experience of cinema, and the cinema as a site of social and cultural exchange.
Includes contributions from Robert Allen, Annette Kuhn, John Sedwick, Mark Jancovich, Peter Sanfield, and Kathryn Fuller-Seeley among others
Develops the original argument that the social history of cinema-going and of the experience of cinema should take precedence over production- and text-based analyses
Explores the cinema as a site of social and cultural exchange, including patterns of popularity and taste, the role of individual movie theatres in creating and sustaining their audiences, and the commercial, political and legal aspects of film exhibition and distribution
Prompts readers to reassess their understanding of key periods of cinema history, opening up cinema studies to long-overdue conversations with other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences
Presents rigorous empirical research, drawing on digital technology and geospatial information systems to provide illuminating insights in to the uses of cinema
