What to read after Critical Dictionary of Film and Television Theory?

This volume clearly and accessibly explains the major theoretical approaches now deployed in the study of the moving image as well as defining key theoretical terms. Over the last three decades, the field of television and film studies has emerged from several related disciplines: literary studies; psychoanalysis; history and sociology among others. It is now established as a discipline in its own right with a complex and developed theoretical apparatus of its own. This dictionary provides readers with the conceptual apparatus to understand the often daunting language and terminologies of screen studies. It offers beginning students an introductory map of the field and more experienced students and scholars a refresher course on the basic concepts. It features: over 400 entries; entries range from 500 to 3000 words and aim to give a context to the debate surrounding the term rather than a simplistic definition; includes suggestions for further reading; and is fully indexed; and cross-referenced. The dictionary is designed to be of optimum use to a range of potential users including students of communication, media, film and cultural studies, art, design and literature.
