{"product_id":"french-westerns-timothy-scheie-9781399520379","title":"French Westerns: On the Frontier of Film Genre and French Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe production of films that may be called both 'French' and 'western' spans the history of cinema, and includes the films by celebrated stars and directors. However, with the exception of early silent production, French westerns are overlooked in studies of French cinema, of film genre and even of the 'transnational' western. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrench Westerns: The Frontier of Film Genre and French Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e is the first scholarly monograph dedicated to these films. This study advances the recovery of popular European cinema, and adds new dimension to the understanding of the western genre. However, the purpose is not to stretch existing definitions of the genre or the national cinema to accommodate this production. Instead, these films expose and exploit the acts of imagination to which the logics of 'French Cinema' and 'Western' owe their coherence: acts that fail repeatedly, productively, and at times spectacularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Scheie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399520377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399520379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Timothy Scheie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44717360906495,"sku":"9781399520379","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d1df178-79ec-4f2c-8a92-b44a0ed611a8.jpg?v=1705687955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/french-westerns-timothy-scheie-9781399520379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
