In the belief that people in ever-increasing numbers are turning to the media for their understanding of evil, this lively and provocative collection of essays addresses the changing representation of evil in a broad spectrum of films and television programmes. Written in refreshingly accessible and de-jargonised prose, the essays bring to bear a variety of philosophical and critical perspectives on works ranging from the cinema of famed director Alfred Hitchcock and the preternatural horror films Halloween and Friday the 13th to the understated documentary Human Remains and the television coverage of the immediate post-9/11 period. The Changing Face of Evil in Film and Television is for anyone interested in the moving-image representation of that pervasive yet highly misunderstood thing we call evil. 410 0$aAt the interface/probing the boundaries ;$vv. 41. 606 $aGood and evil 606 $aEvil in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects 606 $aTelevision broadcasting$xSocial aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGood and evil. 615 0$aEvil in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting$xSocial aspects. 676 $a791.4368 701 $aNorden$b Martin F.$f1951-$01030793 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452079303321 996 $aThe changing face of evil in film and television$92447871 997 $aUNINA
