The City in American Cinema: Film and Postindustrial Culture de Dr Johan Andersson

The City in American Cinema: Film and Postindustrial Culture

Editat de Dr Johan Andersson, Lawrence Webb
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 iun 2019
How has American cinema engaged with the rapid transformation of cities and urban culture since the 1960s? And what role have films and film industries played in shaping and mediating the "postindustrial" city? This collection argues that cinema and cities have become increasingly intertwined in the era of neoliberalism, urban branding, and accelerated gentrification. Examining a wide range of films from Hollywoodblockbusters to indie cinema, it considers the complex, evolving relationship between moving image cultures and the spaces, policies, and politics of US cities from New York, Los Angeles, and Boston to Detroit, Oakland, and Baltimore. The contributors address questions of narrative, genre, and style alongside the urban contexts of production, exhibition, and reception, discussing films including The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973),Cruising (1980), Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), King of New York (1990), Inception (2010), Frances Ha (2012), Fruitvale Station (2013), Only Lovers Left Alive (2013), and Doctor Strange (2016).

Recenzii

The authors accomplish an immense feat when giving form to the feeling of incongruence that grips one as they walk through the locations these essays discuss . [this book] gives one the language to understand one's place in the socio-spatial world.
The forging of cinema within the crucible of urban modernity has been well established by scholars, but what happens to this connection as both cities and filmmaking transform in the post-industrial era? This collection brings long overdue focus to the decades following World War II, demonstrating how the deep interrelation between cinema and the city is sustained in the way movies are made, where they're shown, and the we see on screen.
This collection offers an expansive bird's-eye view as well as street-level scrutiny of the post-classical cinematic cityscape, providing compelling, clear-sighted assessment of the mutually regenerative exchange between American cities and the U.S. film industry since the 1960s. Drawing on cultural geography, spatiality theory, and production and exhibition histories, (T)hese cogent, accessible essays map cinema's urban imaginaries and the cities and conditions out of which they are conjured, ranging from the postindustrial urban decline of American New Wave cinema to the gentrified "creative city" of recent indie film, from the outer borough to the indieplex, and from Nixon to Trump.
This vital collection provides a broad interrogation of how American film, through its representational and industrial practices, has been deeply involved in the re-making of urban space.
As expected, New York and Los Angeles play a key role in investigating the postindustrial American city; the perceptive analyses of the spatial imagination and real spaces of postindustrial San Francisco, Boston, Oakland, and Detroit expand the book's scope and its importance to urban film studies.
A welcome addition to the literature on film and urbanism. Attends to the way different cities and genres imagine the urban and negotiate the unequal realities of postindustrial America.
Smartly conceived and elegantly organized, this collection illuminates the many ways that the rise of the post-industrial city has left its transformative mark on the past half century of American cinema.
