Recenzii
“This densely argued, scholarly text focuses on theway television and cinema in this period both presented images of idealisedcommunities and also responded to growing criticisms of such movements as NewUrbanism in the USA. … This is a remarkable book and a work of extraordinaryscholarship.” (David Mercer, Australian Geographer, February, 2016)
"Movie Towns and Sitcom Suburbs should be required reading for anyone who wants to explore the relationship between visual culture and urban theory in a rigorous manner. Rowley's analysis of Disney's envisioning of the ideal community - from animated entertainment to theme parks to planned communities - is distinguished by meticulous close readings and his theoretical sophistication. He moves so deftly across media because he constructs such elegant paradigms for comparative analysis. This issimply a benchmark work." - Jim Collins, Professor, Film and Television, University of Notre Dame, USA
