This is the first full-length study of how contemporary entertainment technologies and media—from cable television and VHS to DVD and the Internet—shape our encounters with the movies and affect the aesthetic, cultural, and ideological definitions of cinema. Barbara Klinger explores topics such as home theater, film collecting, classic Hollywood movie reruns, repeat viewings, and Internet film parodies, providing a multifaceted view of the presentation and reception of films in U.S. households. Balancing industry history with theoretical and cultural analysis, she finds that today cinema's powerful social presence cannot be fully grasped without considering its prolific recycling in post-theatrical venues—especially the home.Home theatersMotion pictures and televisionTelevisionSocial aspectsTelevisionTechnological innovationsHome theaters.Motion pictures and television.TelevisionSocial aspects.TelevisionTechnological innovations.302.23/45Klinger Barbara1951-792082MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910969804703321Beyond the Multiplex1771105UNINA
