Video stores served as a vital locus of movie culture from the early 1980's until the early 2000's, changing the way Americans socialized around movies and collectively made movies meaningful. When films became tangible as magnetic tapes and plastic discs, movie culture flowed out from the theater and the living room, entered the public retail space, and became conflated with shopping and salesmanship. In this process, video stores served as a crucial embodiment of movie culture's historical move toward increased flexibility, adaptability, and customization. In addition to charting the historical rise and fall of the rental industry, Herbert explores the architectural design of video stores, the social dynamics of retail encounters, the video distribution industry, the proliferation of video recommendation guides, and the often surprising persistence of the video store as an adaptable social space of consumer culture. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, cultural geography, and archival research, Videoland provides a wide-ranging exploration of the pivotal role video stores played in the history of motion pictures, and is a must-read for students and scholars of media history. 606 $aVideo rental services$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aVideo recordings industry$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aStores, Retail$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$y1970- 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aamerican studies. 610 $aarchitectural design. 610 $aarchival research. 610 $acapitalism. 610 $acommercialization. 610 $aconsumer culture. 610 $aconsumer video. 610 $acultural geography. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aethnographic fieldwork. 610 $afilm. 610 $aincreased flexibility. 610 $amagnetic tapes. 610 $amaterial commodities. 610 $amedia history. 610 $amotion pictures. 610 $amovie culture. 610 $apublic retail space. 610 $arental industry. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $asocial dynamics. 610 $asocial space. 610 $atangible phase. 610 $aunited states of america. 610 $avideo distribution industry. 610 $avideo recommendation guides. 610 $avideo rental stores. 615 0$aVideo rental services$xSocial aspects 615 0$aVideo recordings industry$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects 615 0$aStores, Retail$xSocial aspects 676 $a302.23/430973 700 $aHerbert$b Daniel$f1974-$01674666 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823834503321 996 $aVideoland$94039644 997 $aUNINA
