Window Shopping: Cinema and the Postmodern

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Friedberg, Anne, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, Departing from those who define postmodernism in film merely as a visual style or set of narrative conventions, Anne Friedberg develops ong>theong> first sustained account of ong>theong> cinema's role in postmodern culture. She explores ong>theong> ways in which nineteenth-century visual experiences--photography, urban strolling, panorama and diorama entertainments--anticipate contemporary pleasures provided by cinema, video, shopping malls, and emerging "virtual reality" technologies. Comparing ong>theong> visual practices of shopping, tourism, and film-viewing, Friedberg identifies ong>theong> experience of "virtual" mobility through time and space as a key determinant of postmodern cultural identity. Evaluating ong>theong> ong>theong>ories of Jameson, Lyotard, Baudrillard, and oong>theong>rs, she adds critical insights about ong>theong> role of gender and gender mobility in ong>theong> configurations of consumer culture. A strikingly original work, "Window Shopping" challenges many of ong>theong> existing assumptions about what exactly "post"modern is. This book marks ong>theong> emergence of a compelling new voice in ong>theong> study of contemporary culture.
