Horak Laura (202 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. An exciting introduction to cinema by the trans creators who are innovating filmmaking to imagine a more inclusive world.   Since the 1990s, a largely underground upwelling of trans creativity has helped new trans identities, communities, and political movements come together. In Trans Cinema, Laura Horak provides an entryway to the wildly diverse and creative cinema made by trans creators, including those who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color. Overlooked until now, this rich collection of media ranges in genre from romantic comedies to horror films and asks essential questions about how to be human and how to craft a livable life in a world on fire. Using the fundamentals of film studies, Horak reveals the innovative approaches taken by trans and gender-nonconforming artists to explore how we relate to other people, what it's like to have a body, and how we survive in an oppressive society. These filmmakers tackle the challenging paradox of representing trans lives when greater visibility is associated with ever-increasing levels of harm. In the process, they produce art that emphasizes trans survival and resilience and imagines a more expansive world for trans communities.…

Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Original decorated wrappers. Condition: New. First Edition. With illustrations. Light shelfwear.; Unwatchable is a groundbreaking anthology that probes the tension between what we see and what we cannot bear to watch. Edited by Nicholas Baer, Maggie Hennefeld, Laura Horak, and Gunnar Iversen, this multidisciplinary volume brings together over 50 essays from leading scholars, artists, critics, and curators to explore why certain visual contentâ"whether from news media, horror films, or transgressive artâ"provokes aversion, refusal, or moral unease. Richly diverse in perspective, these contributions blend cultural theory, media studies, film criticism, and ethics to trace the contours of the "unwatchable" in our screen-saturated culture. At once intellectually rigorous and emotionally provocative, this book challenges readers to reflect on the limits of spectatorship and the political, aesthetic, and philosophical forces that shape what we chooseâ"or are forcedâ"not to see.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; x, 402 pages.…

Paperback. Condition: New. As one of the most influential contemporary film scholars, Linda Williams brought her critical feminist lens to some of society's most maligned and underappreciated film genres. Melodrama as Provocateur showcases what was to be Williams's last project in which, insisting on melodrama as a cross-generic, cross-media mode, she investigates the divergence between French and American attitudes to film melodrama. A diverse group of scholars respond to her provocations, rethinking melodrama's transnational, transmedia histories and potential futures. Their contributions examine how melodrama became, as Williams argues, the default mode of contemporary media, and demonstrate how it plays an increasingly powerful role in public discourse and political rhetoric today.…
