Looks and Frictions: Essays in Cultural Studies and Film Theory

By (author) Paul Willemen, Introduction by Meaghan Morris






| book description |

Willemen's writing has contributed significantly to the development of film theory and cultural studies over the past 20 years. This is a collection of his classic but provocative essays, covering a wide range of issues, from pornography and melodrama to Third Cinema and questions of national identity - from the films of Amos Gitai and Nagashi Oshima to theories of postmodernism and an account of subjectivity. Many of the essays originally published in Screen , After Image and Framework have also been reworked and updated, but Looks and Frictions also includes a number of previously unpublished essays.
