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.
