Download or read book Hollywood Shot by Shot written by Norman K. Denzin and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To what extent have Hollywood feature films shaped the meanings that Americans attach to alcoholics, their families, and the alcoholic condition? To what extent has the mass culture of the movie industry itself been conceptually shaped by a broad, external societal discourse? Norman Denzin brings to his life-long study of alcoholism a searching interest in how cultural texts signify and lend themselves to interpretation within a social nexus. Both historical and diachronic in his approach, Denzin identifies five periods in the alcoholism films made between 1932 and the end of the 1980s, and offers a detailed critical reading of thirty-seven films produced during these six decades. "Professor Denzin has produced a searching and provocative interpretation of more than a half-century of Hollywood's social and personal construction of the problem drinker in America. Readable by both lay persons and specialists, Denzin's book provides us with the most comprehensive understanding of this topic to date."--Stanford M. Lyman, Robert J. Morrow Eminent Scholar in Social Science, Florida Atlantic University "An eminent sociologist and leading authority on alcoholism, Denzin also writes skillfully about films as films and is comfortable with postmodern interpretive theoryà a genuinely interdisciplinary work of the first order." --Robert L. Carringer, author, The Making of Citizen Kane "Denzin has gone on an exhaustive bar-crawl through hundreds of movies, returning with evidence that the film about drinking is a genre of its own. He writes from sound knowledge about alcoholism--which, unlike other diseases, is frequently viewed with bittersweet romanticism."--Roger Ebert Norman K. Denzin is professor of sociology, cinema studies, and interpretive theory at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He was awarded the George Herbert Mead Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction. He is the author of several books, including Screening Race: Hollywood and a Cinema of Racial Violence, The Recovering Alcoholic, Interpretive Ethnography, Images of Postmodernism: Social Theory and Contemporary Cinema, and Interpretive Interactionism.

Download or read book Onscreen Offscreen written by Constantine V. Nakassis and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on over a decade of ethnographic fieldwork in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Onscreen/Offscreen is an exploration of the politics and being of filmic images. The book examines contestations inside and outside the Tamil film industry over the question "what is an image?" Answers to this question may be found in the ontological politics that take place on film sets, in theatre halls, and in the social fabric of everyday life in South India, from populist electoral politics and the gendering of social space to caste uplift and domination. Bridging and synthesizing linguistic anthropology, film studies, visual studies, and media anthropology, Onscreen/Offscreen rethinks key issues across a number of fields concerned with the semiotic constitution of social life, from the performativity and ontology of images to questions of spectatorship, realism, and presence. In doing so, it offers both a challenge to any approach that would separate image from social context and a new vision for linguistic anthropology beyond the question of "language."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people have a misconception about cheating – the onus largely falls on men being the ones responsible for it. As a result, they’re often treated with much more leniency than women who cheat. They tend to face far more dire consequences than their masculine counterparts. However, Sue Jo Horton, also known as, Sujo, is here to show that cheating is wrong, regardless of one’s gender. Cheating is Disgusting is an autobiographical account of her life. A retired hairdresser, Sue spent most of her formative years seeing her father treat her mother poorly and vowed never to become like her or let men treat her like that. However, while growing up with a cheating father, Sue didn’t realize how his habits, unintentionally, translated into her own and affected her relationships later in life. Cheating is Disgusting is her story. It gives one a raw look into Sue’s life as she bares it all in this daring account in the hopes that readers can learn from her mistakes and avoid them in their own lives.
