{"product_id":"trash-cinema-guy-barefoot-9780231180375","title":"Trash Cinema: The Lure of the Low","description":"This volume explores the lower reaches of cinema and its paradoxical appeal. It looks at films from the B-movies of the 1930s to the mockbusters of today, and from the New York underground to the genre variations of Turkey's Yesil am studios (and their YouTube afterlife). Critically examining the reasons for studying, denigrating, or celebrating the detritus of film history, it also considers the place of a trash aesthetic within and beyond 1960s American avant-garde and looks at the cult of trash in the fanzines of the 1980s. It draws on debates about cult, paracinema, and camp, arguing that trash cinema exists in relation to these but brings with it a particular history that includes the ordinary as well as the strange. \u003ci\u003eTrash Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e places these debates, and the strand of self-proclaimed low culture that emerged in the second half of the twentieth century, within a historical and international perspective. It focuses on American cinema history but addresses Eurotrash reception as well as the related field of garbology, examining trash cinema as a distinct but fluid category.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guy Barefoot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231180373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231180375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wallflower Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Guy Barefoot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987271909631,"sku":"9780231180375","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eca4bda4-d4a2-4594-b375-b3d86cec1754.jpg?v=1683287989","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trash-cinema-guy-barefoot-9780231180375","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
