Going to the Movies: Hollywood and the Social Experience of the Cinema (UEP - Exeter Studies in Film History)

University of Exeter Press, 2008

A nickelodeon screening a Charlie Chaplin silent classic, the downtown arthouse cinemas that made Antonioni and Cassavetes household names, the modern suburban megaplex and its sold-out Friday night blockbuster: how American and global audiences have viewed movies is as rich a part of cinematic history as what we?ve seen on the silver screen. Going to the Movies considers the implications of this social and cultural history through an ...

Hollywood Spectatorship: Changing Perceptions of Cinema Audiences

British Film Institute, 2001

This is an examination of the concepts of spectatorship in the light of historical accounts of audience reception. The book looks at how audiences have historically talked about Hollywood movies, and the ways in which "word-of-mouth" responses have affected the reception of individual movies.

Hollywood Abroad: Audiences and Cultural Exchange

British Film Institute, 2007

Hollywood Abroad is the first book to examine the reception of Hollywood movies by non-American audiences. Although numerous books on film history have analyzed the ways in which American films came to dominate world markets, there has so far been very little published work on how audiences outside the United States have responded to Hollywood-produced films. Hollywood Abroad explores the reception of U.S. films in Britain, France, Belgium, ...

A French Song Companion

Graham Johnson, Richard Stokes

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

Worthy companion to Bernac
Pierre Bernac's _Interpretation of French Song_ has long been the indispensable reference volume for singers and coaches of this rich musical literature. The focus of the present volume is somewhat different, more comprehensive in its listings of composers (any composer of significance who set French texts is included, resulting in some surprising listings, Bernstein and Dinu Lipatti, for ...

Mastering Search Advertising is a Concise, Transparent and Important Book
Mastering Search Advertising is a highly concise, unique and useful book covering search engine marketing / Google Adwords. Many a book on this topic has said much more, but explained much less. I draw this conclusion based on the following: - The Foreword of the book gives a brief synopsis of Richard's journey of curiosity and passion for understanding and refining process, not an endless ...

Alfred Brendel, Martin Meyer

Cornell University Press, 2002

Everything you want to learn...and more!
Numerous books are in print about Horowitz and the like. But there has never been much, aside from recordings, about my favorite pianist, Alfred Brendel. Recently, a two-DVD set was released entitled Alfred Brendel -- in Portrait. It was great, with one DVD dedicated to performance, the other, a biographical special. But the Brendel fan can delve a bit deeper with this book. Brendel speaks ...

Boulez on Conducting

1 review
Pierre Boulez

Faber and Faber, 2003

wonderful sets of questions,more on point than previous
"I began composing the works, and then found the technique to conduct them" Boulez's activism, his affinity for modernity always had a content, an aspect of directedness, of finding/locating the shortest distance between two points. And Cecile Gilly's questions here seem commonplace yet they excite quite provocative answers. Of course one must see a work in rehearsal with Boulez in order to find ...
