{"product_id":"window-shopping-cinema-and-the-postmodern-9780520089242","title":"Window Shopping: Cinema and the Postmodern","description":"Departing from those who define postmodernism in film merely as a visual style or set of narrative conventions, Anne Friedberg develops the first sustained account of the cinema's role in postmodern culture. She explores the ways in which nineteenth-century visual experiences-photography, urban strolling, panorama and diorama entertainments-anticipate contemporary pleasures provided by cinema, video, shopping malls, and emerging \"virtual reality\" technologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComparing the visual practices of shopping, tourism, and film-viewing, Friedberg identifies the experience of \"virtual\" mobility through time and space as a key determinant of postmodern cultural identity. Evaluating the theories of Jameson, Lyotard, Baudrillard, and others, she adds critical insights about the role of gender and gender mobility in the configurations of consumer culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA strikingly original work, \u003ci\u003eWindow Shopping\u003c\/i\u003e challenges many of the existing assumptions about what exactly \u003ci\u003epost\u003c\/i\u003emodern is. This book marks the emergence of a compelling new voice in the study of contemporary culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-116182\"\u003eAnne Friedberg\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.02w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520089242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520089243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER004030\"\u003eFilm | History \u0026amp; Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Friedberg\u003c\/b\u003e i is the Professor and Chair of Critical Studies at the\u003cbr\u003eUniversity of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44580326375661,"sku":"9780520089242","price":53.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_d118dbdd-9eba-4b12-abe6-d794afdab4f0.jpg?v=1702074046","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/window-shopping-cinema-and-the-postmodern-9780520089242","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
