商品簡介
This historical and conceptual study covers comedic narrative, comic traditions, and the role of visual culture in film. It brings fresh perspectives to the work of leading innovators in American film comedy and the role of visual technology within the cultural politic. Drawing on the work of such theorists as Sigmund Freud, Jean Baudrillard, and Jacques Derrida, each chapter conducts close analyses of two films and develops key themes and theories in film studies. Following a chonological structure, the text makes an ideal companion for courses in film, history, and culture.
