But the deluge of How-to style manuals and interview collections offer little systematic analysis of the histories, practices, identities and subjects which form and shape the daily working lives of screenwriters. Screenwriting work demands particular and complex forms of subjectivity in order to distinguish it from other forms of filmmaking and writing, to make the work knowable and do-able. This book analyzes the ways in which screenwriters navigate and make sense of the labor markets in which they are immersed. Drawing on historical and critical perspectives of mainstream screenwriting in the USA and UK, as well as empirical data drawn from interviews, labour market and textual analysis, this book presents an original and multi-faceted case study of screenwriting as creative labor and professional practice. Using a range of theoretical approaches and an interdisciplinary methodological framework, it examines both the structural and subjective features of screenwriting work and it analyzes not only who has access to the work, but also who is excluded from this profession"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMotion picture authorship$xVocational guidance 606 $aMotion pictures$xProduction and direction$xVocational guidance 610 $aguru 610 $ascene 610 $aappendix 610 $aauthors 610 $abibliography 610 $aconclusion 610 $acreative 610 $afive 610 $agenre 610 $agood 610 $ahistories 610 $aindicative 610 $ainformation 610 $alabor 610 $alives 610 $amyths 610 $aone 610 $aout? 610 $apractice 610 $aprofession 610 $aprofessional 610 $apublishing 610 $ascreenwriters 610 $ascreenwriting 610 $asetting 610 $atexts 610 $atitles 610 $atwo 610 $aworking 615 0$aMotion picture authorship$xVocational guidance. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xProduction and direction$xVocational guidance. 676 $a791.4302/3 676 $a791.43023 686 $aSOC052000$2bisacsh 700 $aConor$b Bridget$f1980-,$0995217 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409845903321 996 $aScreenwriting$92279932 997 $aUNINA
