Bad - Infamy, Darkness, Evil, and Slime on Screen

Informationen zum Autor Murray Pomerance is an independent scholar living in Toronto and Adjunct Professor in the School of Media and Communication at the RMIT University, Melbourne. He is the author, coauthor, or editor of many books, including, most recently, with Matthew Solomon, The Biggest Thing in Show Business: Living It Up with Martin & Lewis (also published by SUNY Press) and Uncanny Cinema: Agonies of the Viewing Experience . Klappentext Violence and corruption sell big, especially since the birth of action cinema, but even from cinema's earliest days, the public has been delighted to be stunned by screen representations of negativity in all its forms--evil, monstrosity, corruption, ugliness, villainy, and darkness. Bad examines the long line of thieves, rapists, varmints, codgers, dodgers, manipulators, exploiters, conmen, killers, vamps, liars, demons, cold-blooded megalomaniacs, and warmhearted flakes that populate cinematic narrative. From "Nosferatu to The Talented' Mr. Ripley, the contributors consider a wide range of genres and use a variety of critical approaches to examine evil, villainy, and immorality in twentieth-century film.
