Cinema Memories: A People's History of Cinema-going in 1960s Britain

Autor Melvyn Stokes, Matthew Jones, Emma Pett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 sep 2023
Cinema Memories brings together and analyses the memories of almost a thousand people of going to the cinema in Britain during the 1960s. It offers a fresh perspective on the social, cultural and film history of what has come to be seen as an iconic decade, with the release of films such as A Taste of Honey, The Sound of Music, Darling, Blow-Up, Alfie, The Graduate, and Bonnie and Clyde. Drawing on first-hand accounts, authors Melvyn Stokes, Matthew Jones and Emma Pett explore how cinema-goers constructed meanings from the films they watched - through a complex process of negotiation between the films concerned, their own social and cultural identities, and their awareness of changes in British society. Their analysis helps the reader see what light the cultural memory of 1960s cinema-going sheds on how the Sixties in Britain is remembered and interpreted. Positioning their study within debates about memory, 1960s cinema, and the seemingly transformative nature of this decade of British history, the authors reflect on the methodologies deployed, the use of memories as historical sources, and the various ways in which cinema and cinema-going came to mean something to their audiences.

Recenzii

This research is an excellent reminder of the importance of the cinema experience in that culturally significant decade . and it also serves to point out just how much has changed over the last fifty years . [The book] may provoke nostalgia in some older readers, whilst for younger readers it's a fascinating window into an almost lost world.
Cinema Memories paints a fascinating portrait of the place of cinema in the lives and imaginations of its British audiences in the 1960s. Based on an extensive collection of interviews and questionnaires, it makes a vivid contribution both to the social history of the period and to the rapidly developing field of memory studies.
Cinema Memories maps exciting and accessible new routes through the spaces and places of 1960s cinema and social history in Britain. It deftly connects New Cinema History's methodological emphasis on empirical contexts of cinema-going and film reception with intellectual traditions grounded in British Cultural Studies and People's History.
