{"product_id":"defining-cult-movies-the-cultural-politics-of-oppositional-taste-9780719066313","title":"Defining Cult Movies: The Cultural Politics of Oppositional Taste","description":"Concentrates on the analysis of cult movies, how they are defined, who defines them and the cultural politics of these definitions. Raises issues about the perception of it as an oppositional form of cinema, and of its strained relationships to mainstream cinema and the processes of institutionalisation and classification. Claims that the history of academic film studies and that of cult movie fandom are inextricably intertwined and raises fundamental questions about both cult movies themselves, and film studies as a discipline. Updates work on cult movies at a time when cult films and TV have become a central part of contemporary culture. Ranges over the full and entertaining gamut of cult films from Dario Argento, Spanish horror and Peter Jackson's New Zealand gorefests to sexploitation, kung fu and sci fi flicks, as well investigations of Sharon Stone, 'underground' and trivia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-169579\"\u003eMark Jancovich\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719066313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 071906631X\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\u003cbr\u003eMark Jancovich is Reader and Director of the Institute of Film Studies at the University of Nottingham \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAntonio Lazaro Reboll is Lector in Hispanic Studies at the University of Nottingham \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJulian Stringer is Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Nottingham \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAndrew Willis is Senior Lecturer in Media and Performance at the University of Salford\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44686926774509,"sku":"9780719066313","price":47.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_addf30e1-9dd9-45c0-9208-c238d0e458ff.jpg?v=1703651648","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/defining-cult-movies-the-cultural-politics-of-oppositional-taste-9780719066313","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
