Feminist Visions

Autor: Hélène Charlery , Cristelle Maury

Número de Páginas: 323

What does feminist filmmaking in the 21st century look like? This book assesses the influence of Western feminist theory on contemporary film and television - nearly fifty years after Claire Johnston and Laura Mulvey called for a feminist counter-cinema - highlighting the cross-fertilization between feminist film theory and practice. Is there a #Metoo genre? Have traditional Hollywood genres been reframed? How has intersectional feminist film theory been explored on screen? In essays spanning film and television in a broad range of genres from the US, the UK and India, contributors renew definitions of feminist filmmaking since second wave feminist film scholars first grappled with the image of women in film and the role of women in the film industry. Feminist Visions provides an insightful space for discussion of feminist film theory as applied to recent TV series such as Devious Maids (2013-2016), Unbelievable (2019), Greenleaf (2016-2020), I May Destroy You (2020) and Insecure (2016-2021) and films including Maid in Manhattan (2002), Night Moves (2014), Gone Girl (2014), I Care a Lot (2020) and The Discreet Charm of the Savarnas (2020).

Pandora’s Box

Autor: Peter Biskind

Número de Páginas: 281

AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR From The Sopranos to streaming: the scandalous behind-the-screens story of the TV revolution by the author of the cult film classic Easy Riders, Raging Bulls. The revolution has been televized. From The Sopranos to Stranger Things, the shows we watch - and the ways we watch them - have been transformed over the past fifty years. Out of the bland wasteland of 'play-it-safe' broadcasting came astonishing stories of sex, violence, and corruption shown first on cable, and then by way of streaming. Today, the power of viewers to select what they want and when they want it is greater than ever before. In short, we are living in a new golden age of television, but golden ages don't last forever. Revolutions have a habit of eating their own, and the era of 'peak TV' may have an unhappy ending. Pandora's Box is a major new account of the small screen from cultural critic Peter Biskind. Through exclusive, candid and colourful interviews with writers, showrunners, directors and actors, Biskind brings us face to face with the people whose creations we encounter every day on our sofas, and reveals the dynamic interplay of art, commerce and technology. We follow...

UK and Irish Television Comedy

Autor: Mary Irwin , Jill Marshall

Número de Páginas: 251

This book looks at television comedy, drawn from across the UK and Ireland, and ranging chronologically from the 1980s to the 2020s. It explores depictions of distinctive geographical, historical and cultural communities presented from the insiders’ perspective, simultaneously interrogating the particularity of the lived experience of time, and place, embedded within the wide variety of depictions of contrasting lives, experiences and sensibilities, which the collected individual chapters offer. Comedies considered include Victoria Wood’s work on ‘the north’, Ireland’s Father Ted and Derry Girls, Michaela Coel’s east London set Chewing Gum, and Wales’ Gavin and Stacey. There are chapters on Scottish sketch and animation comedy, and on series set in the Midlands, the North East, the South West and London’s home counties. The book offers thoughtful reflection on funny and engaging representations of the diverse, fragmented complexity of UK and Irish identity explored through the intersections of class, ethnicity and gender.

Número de Páginas: 75

Un alegato contra la necesidad de encajar, de la mente detrás (y delante) de la serie I May Destroy You. En 2018, desde el estrado del Festival Internacional de Televisión de Edimburgo, Michaela Coel pronunció un apasionado discurso que orbitaba en torno a la dificultad de ser diferente, ya fuera con motivo del género, la raza o la clase. De todas las personas que estaban allí y que ese día volvieron a sus casas impactadas por lo que acababan de escuchar, fue la propia Michaela en quien más resonaron sus propias ideas. Ahora parte de ellas para desarrollar una visión personal del mundo que comparte aquí, trufada de anécdotas personales y bellas alegorías. Marginados recoge su camino desde su infancia en una urbanización de protección oficial en uno de los barrios más ricos y agresivos de Londres hasta su descubrimiento del teatro y de una pasión por contar historias que la ha llevado a la élite de la industria audiovisual. Agresivamente honesto, agudo y conmovedor, Marginados es un manifiesto para todos los que alguna vez se han sentido diferentes. Una proclama en favor de la empatía, la transparencia y la necesidad de cuidar de uno mismo y de los otros. «Un...

Misfits

Autor: Michaela Coel

Número de Páginas: 74

Misfits kijken anders naar het leven. Maar velen worden ook als buitenstaander gezien omdat het leven anders naar hen kijkt. Michaela Coel voelt zich al haar hele leven een buitenstaander. Want zo keek het leven ook naar haar. Misfits is een triomfantelijke oproep tot eerlijkheid, empathie en inclusie van iedereen die ‘anders’ is. Met pit en humor vertelt Coel over haar strijd om zichzelf te kunnen zijn in een wereld die het omgekeerde vraagt. Dit actuele, noodzakelijke boek, dat doorweven is van diep persoonlijke anekdotes, pleit voor buitenstaanders. Het is een scherp en opzwepend betoog om vooral níet te proberen om erbij te horen.
