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.
