This book traces the history from the days of silent screen heroines to the sound era's daring adventure serials, unearthing a thriving film culture beyond the self-contained feature. Through extensive archival research, Ilka Brasch details the aesthetic appeals of film serials within their context of marketing and exhibition and that they adapt the pleasures of a flourishing crime fiction culture to both serialised visual culture and the affordances of the media-modernity of the early 20th century. The study furthermore traces how film serials brought the broadcast model of radio and television to the big screen and thereby introduced models of serial storytelling that informed popular culture even beyond the serial's demise. 410 0$aFilm culture in transition. 606 $aFilm serials$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01715956 606 $aART$xFilm & Video$2bisacsh 606 $aPERFORMING ARTS$xFilm$xHistory & Criticism$2bisacsh 606 $aTheatre studies$2bicssc 606 $aFilm theory & criticism$2bicssc 606 $aElectronic, holographic & video art$2bicssc 606 $aFilm serials$xHistory 608 $aHistory. 610 $aGeneral & world history 615 0$aFilm serials. 615 0$aART$xFilm & Video. 615 0$aPERFORMING ARTS$xFilm$xHistory & Criticism. 615 0$aTheatre studies. 615 0$aFilm theory & criticism. 615 0$aElectronic, holographic & video art. 615 0$aFilm serials$xHistory. 676 $a791.43 700 $aBrasch$b Ilka$0953141 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910320754703321 996 $aFilm Serials and the American Cinema, 1910-1940$92154801 997 $aUNINA
