Contributes to an understanding of how popular films use realist forms to address contentious social and political issues such as social exclusion, war and violence.. Focusing on key moments in film history the authors examine the uses of realism in national cinemas as a context for their in-depth analysis of contemporary popular films.. A series of case studies examines the hybrid styles of realism used in recent filmmaking practice and the politics of these forms in relation to topics such as urban youth and domestic violence (Boyz N the Hood, La Haine, Once Were Warriors, Ladybird, Ladybird, Nil By Mouth), government conspiracies and war (Cry Freedom, JFK, Schindler's List), and serial killers (Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer, Man Bites Dog, Natural Born Killers).. Will give rise to new directions in the theorisation of both popular film and realism in the cinema. -- .","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49593458491665,"sku":"GOR002700812","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49616158163217,"sku":"GOR004156395","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51006284890385,"sku":"NIN9780719052514","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51376321790225,"sku":"GOR003342105","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52343085629713,"sku":"NLS9780719052514","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0719052513.jpg?v=1751444493"},{"product_id":"nursing-the-image-book-julia-hallam-9780415184557","title":"Nursing the Image","description":"Ideas of 'nursing' and 'nurses' carry a powerful social charge. The image of the nurse continues to be a symbol of caring and of duty at the same time as it projects a view of femininity, 'stereotypical' in its gender relations.  How has this image come to be constructed?  An empirical investigation of representations of nursing practices in Britain focusing on publicity and promotional materials and their relationship to popular fictional narratives reveals a strong correlation between what are usually described as discrete forms of signification. Recruitment images, provide an important source of information and inspiration for those considering nurse training. Julia Hallam, draws from a wide range of sources including biographies, marketing and recruitment literature, popular fiction and film to explore this question. In doing so she makes an original contribution to the debates surrounding gender and occupational identity.  The book will provide a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students on courses such as the social history of nursing, the understanding of health and illness, women's studies, gender studies and sociology courses.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49809980326161,"sku":"CIN041518455XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50205101818129,"sku":"CIN041518455XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50411752292625,"sku":"GOR011172708","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50980764123409,"sku":"GOR006716348","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52482322202897,"sku":"NLS9780415184557","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53366350283025,"sku":"NIN9780415184557","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/041518455X.jpg?v=1750910925"},{"product_id":"movies-music-and-memory-book-julia-hallam-9781839092022","title":"Movies, Music and Memory","description":"Presenting research findings from recent studies, including pilot projects led by the authors in the UK and Brazil, this book provides an accessible, timely, practically relevant and jargon-free overview of how music and films are currently used in nursing homes, dementia wards and day care centres for the older population.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51109987909905,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51109989450001,"sku":"NIN9781839092022","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52126165238033,"sku":"NLS9781839092022","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1839092025.jpg?v=1751216877"},{"product_id":"lynda-la-plante-book-julia-hallam-9780719065491","title":"Lynda La Plante","description":"The first account of the television drama of Lynda La Plante, Britain's most successful and well known screenwriter, whose work is central to understanding changes that shook the UK television industry in the late twentieth century","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52598745923857,"sku":"NLS9780719065491","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780719065491.jpg?v=1761076664"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-julia-hallam.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
