Crossing disciplinary boundaries, Fields of Vision is a path-breaking collection that inquires into the power (and limits) of film and photography to make sense of ourselves and others. As critics, social scientists, filmmakers, and literary scholars, the contributors converge on the issues of representation and the construction of visual meaning across cultures. From the dismembered bodies of horror film to the exotic bodies of ethnographic film and the gorgeous bodies of romantic cinema, Fields of Vision moves through eras, genres, and societies. Always asking how images work to produce meaning, the essays address the way the "real" on film creates fantasy, news, as well as "science," and considers this problematic process as cultural boundaries are crossed. One essay discusses the effects of Hollywood's high-capital, world-wide commercial hegemony on local and non-Western cinemas, while another explores the response of indigenous people in central Australia to the forces of mass media and video. Other essays uncover the work of the unconscious in cinema, the shaping of "female spectatorship" by the "women's film" genre of the 1920's, and the effects of the personal and subjective in documentary films and the photographs of war reportage. -- Back cover.Motion picturesMotion pictures in ethnologyVisual anthropologyPhotographyElectronic booksMotion pictures.Motion pictures in ethnology.Visual anthropology.Photography.302.23/43Devereaux Leslieedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHillman Rogeredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597BOOK996248243803316Fields of vision73722UNISA
