Textul de pe ultima copertă

"In a delightfully readable book full of personality and wit, Eric Smoodin rethinks audience and reception theory. He demonstrates that film culture extends from the settings of the movie theater and film industry to other less obvious but equally important sites."--Lisa Cartwright, coauthor of "Practices of Looking: An Introduction to Visual Culture"
