Knowing Audiences by Martin Barker

Knowing Audiences by Martin Barker

How do people relate to and use films such as Judge Dredd? These 'Action' films, as they are generically called, have become a mainstay of Hollywood since the mid-1970s. This work explores the relations between people's prior orientations to film, and their eventual responses to and judgements of film.

Martin Barker is Emeritus Professor at Aberystwyth University, UK. He is currently Principal Investigator on the international Hobbit project, exploring audience reactions around the world to Peter Jackson's films, as part of a larger exploration of the role of 'fantasy' in the lives of audiences.
