{"product_id":"the-city-in-american-cinema-johan-andersson-9781350194748","title":"The City in American Cinema: Film and Postindustrial Culture","description":"How has American cinema engaged with the rapid transformation of cities and urban culture since the 1960s? And what role have films and film industries played in shaping and mediating the \"postindustrial\" city? This collection argues that cinema and cities have become increasingly intertwined in the era of neoliberalism, urban branding, and accelerated gentrification. Examining a wide range of films from Hollywood\u003cbr\u003eblockbusters to indie cinema, it considers the complex, evolving relationship between moving image cultures and the spaces, policies, and politics of US cities from New York, Los Angeles, and Boston to Detroit, Oakland, and Baltimore. The contributors address questions of narrative, genre, and style alongside the urban contexts of production, exhibition, and reception, discussing films including The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973), \u003cbr\u003eCruising (1980), Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), King of New York (1990), Inception (2010), Frances Ha (2012), Fruitvale Station (2013), Only Lovers Left Alive (2013), and Doctor Strange (2016).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johan Andersson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350194743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350194748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Johan Andersson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058452918527,"sku":"9781350194748","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d16eb42-f418-4d9a-b118-d418f7ed91ba.jpg?v=1685052637","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-city-in-american-cinema-johan-andersson-9781350194748","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
