Film as Social Practice by Graeme Turner
Going beyond literary preoccupations, this examines film as a social practice, its production and its consumption, its pleasures and its meanings. Contemporary perspectives on the cinema, including theories of structuralism, marxism and feminism, are explained with freshness and clarity, and their applications are tested against classics of popular film - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Desperately Seeking Susan, and many others.Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Queensland's Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, Graeme Turner His most recent books include Locating Television: Zones of Consumption (2013) (co-edited with Anna Cristina Pertierra) and Television Histories in Asia (2015) (co-edited with Jinna Tay). He is a key figure in media and culture studies.
