It brings together ground-breaking and inspiring work on this topic from both renowned and newer academics in the field. Previous studies of screen performance have tended to fix upon star actors, directors, or programme makers, or they have concentrated upon particular training and acting styles. Moving outside of these confines, this book provides a truly interdisciplinary account of performance in film and television and examines a much neglected area in our understanding of how popular genres and performance intersect on screen. Each chapter concentrates upon a particular genre or draws upon generic case studies in examining the significance of screen performance. Individual chapters examine contemporary film noir, horror, the biopic, drama-documentary, the western, science fiction, comedy performance in 'spoof news' programmes and the television 'sit com' and popular Bollywood films.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49529483460881,"sku":"GOR013166509","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52681756016913,"sku":"NLS9780719095597","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/071909559X.jpg?v=1772706142"},{"product_id":"science-fiction-cinema-book-christine-cornea-9780813541723","title":"Science Fiction Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003eOffering a broad historical and theoretical reassessment of science fiction, Christine Cornea explores the development of this popular genre in cinema from its very beginnings to the present day. Each chapter offers analyses of particular films, situating them within a wider historical\/cultural context while also highlighting a specific key thematic issue. Cornea provides vital and unique perspectives on the genre, including discussions of the relevance of psychedelic imagery, race, the new woman of science, generic performance, and the prevalence of techno-orientalism in recent films. Enriching the book are new interviews with some of the main practitioners in the field, such as Roland Emmerich, Paul Verhoeven, Ken Russell, Stan Winston, William Gibson, Brian Aldiss, Joe Morton, Dean Norris, and Billy Gray. While American films are Cornea's main focus, she also engages with a range of examples from other countries and explains why science fiction lends itself well to transnational reception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the many films discussed are\u0026gt;\u003ci\u003eThe Day the Earth Stood Still\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Body Snatchers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eForbidden Planet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Quatermass Experiment\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e2001: A Space Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDemon Seed\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStar Trek: The Motion Picture\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAltered States\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAlien\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlade Runner\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Brother from Another Planet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBack to the Future\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Terminator\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePredator\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe One\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDark City\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Matrix\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFifth Element, \u003c\/i\u003e and\u0026gt;\u003ci\u003eeXistenZ\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49800149958929,"sku":"CIN0813541727G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813541727.jpg?v=1751138957"},{"product_id":"science-fiction-cinema-book-christine-cornea-9780748616428","title":"Science Fiction Cinema","description":"A wide-ranging introduction to the study of contemporary science fiction cinema.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50777927024913,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50777927975185,"sku":"GOR002729882","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/074861642X.jpg?v=1768558498"},{"product_id":"genre-and-performance-film-and-television-book-christine-cornea-9780719079801","title":"Genre and Performance: Film and Television","description":"Looking at contemporary film and television, this book explores how popular genres frame our understanding of on-screen performance.
