Perverse Spectators

Janet Staiger

Perverse Spectators

Film and television have never been more prevalent or watched than they are now, yet we still have little understanding of how people process and make use of what they see. And though we acknowledge the enormous role the media plays in our culture, we have only a vague sense of how it actually influences our attitudes and desires. In Perverse Spectators , Janet Staiger argues that studying the interpretive methods of spectators within their historical contexts is both possible and necessary to...

Let's Go to The Grand!

"A fascinating history of a wonderful old theatre." – Hume Cronyn In September of 1901 London's New Grand Opera House flung open its doors.

With impresario Ambrose J. Small at the helm, a new era in theatrical entertainment began. Throughout the next hundred years, the Grand Theatre...

TV or Not TV

Ronald L. Goldfarb

TV or Not TV

In the last quarter century, televised court proceedings have gone from an outlandish idea to a seemingly inevitable reality. Yet,debate continues to rage over the dangers and benefits to the justice system of cameras in the courtroom. Critics contend television transforms the temple of justice into crass theatre. Supporters maintain that silent cameras portray «the real thing,» that without them judicial reality is inevitably filtered through the mind and pens of a finite pool of reporters....

But while the practice of branding is typically understood as a tool of marketing, a method of attaching social meaning to a commodity as a way to make it more personally resonant with consumers, Sarah Banet-Weiser...

A new edition that brings the ways we watch and think about television up to the present We all have opinions about the television shows we watch, but television criticism is about much more than simply evaluating the merits of a particular show and deeming it “good” or “bad.” Rather, criticism uses the close examination of a television program to explore that program’s cultural significance, creative strategies, and its place in a broader social context.

A six-year-old child nibbling on her daddy's arm! Plunging a garden tool into her mother's heart!...
