A\nunique study of self-reflexivity in Hitchcock's work from his earliest English\nsilents to his final Hollywood features, this book considers how the director's\nreleases constitute ever-shifting meditations on the conditions and struggles\nof creative agency in cinema. Abramson explores how, located in literal and\nemblematic sites of dramatic production, exhibition, and reception, and\npopulated by figures of directors, actors, and audiences, Hitchcock's films\nexhibit a complicated, often disturbing vision of authorship - one that\nconsistently problematizes rather than exemplifies the director's longstanding\nauteurist image. Viewing Hitchcock in a striking new light, Abramson analyzes\nthese allegories of vexed agency in the context of his concepts of and\ncommentary on the troubled association between cinema artistry and authorship,\nas well as the changing cultural, industrial, theoretical, and historical\nmilieus in which his features were produced. Accordingly, the book illuminates\nhow Hitchcock and his cinema register the constant dynamics that constitute\nfilm authorship.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-09-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137309693\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9781137309709\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 282\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47438723252364,"sku":"9781137309693","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137309693.jpg?v=1775914028","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137309693","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
