De Koven B: The Well-Played Game

The Well-Played Game

A Player's Philosophy

Regina Lawrence¿s new text argues that many films explicitly or implicitly portray aspects of power¿the central concept in the study of politics¿in patterned, predictable, and often problematic ways. By introducing a multi-faceted framework for thinking about the political nature of films, Lawrence explores three ways film can be studied by political scientists and scholars of political communication: the power of film to portray political reality, how films allocate resources, and the nature of film¿s portrayals of power.

Portraying Power follows the recent trend toward using popular culture and entertainment as a vehicle for explaining politics by pushing the line of inquiry into the study of film, the form of entertainment least explored by scholars of political communication. Film studies rooted in film theory and critical cultural approaches have a long and venerable history, but political science has thus far contributed very little to nor drawn much upon it. Regina Lawrence’s new text argues that many films explicitly or implicitly portray aspects of power—the central concept in the study of politics—in patterned, predictable, and often problematic ways. By introducing a multi-faceted framework for thinking about the political nature of films, Lawrence explores three ways film can be studied by political scientists and scholars of political communication: the power of film to portray political reality, how films allocate resources, and the nature of film’s portrayals of power. Covering a typology of film in terms of general form—from documentaries to "based on a true story" narratives to the purely fictional—and their political content—from explicit to implicit—Lawrence analyzes a broad array of films. This will be the only text on the market written by an expert on political communication that truly synthesizes the scholarly insights of political science, communication studies, and film studies. A companion website will includes basic background on film theory and technique, links to film clips and interviews with filmmakers, and other support materials for the text.

The Fashion Studies Book

Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature

This book explores zombies, vampires, and witches in contemporary popular culture from a feminist perspective, analyzing a range of novels, television series, and films. Though some popular texts (from Harry Potter to Twilight) still use historically inherited conventions, many millennial texts (like True Blood, Maleficent, and The Walking Dead) utilize feminist-friendly monster-figures to critique regressive patriarchal ideologies, champion female monstrosity and female agency, and/or envision alternative socio-cultural formations. This book contributes to discussions in feminism, popular culture, gender and sexuality studies, cultural studies, film studies, and contemporary literature.

This book explores three monstrous figures prominent in contemporary popular culture—zombies, vampires, and witches—from a feminist perspective, visiting a range of novels, television series, and films from the 1990s-2010s. Though some popular mainstream texts (from Harry Potter to Twilight) still participate in historically inherited conventions, feminist analysis reveals that many millennial texts utilize monster-figures to critique regressive patriarchal ideologies and/or champion female monstrosity and (human) female agency. Rather than using zombies, vampires, and witches to conserve the status quo, millennial monsters and human heroes, especially female ones, are often deployed to envision a more feminist, egalitarian future with less violence and more social justice. In a culture in which post-feminist voices contend that feminists have achieved their aims and are thus no longer needed, this book argues instead that there still is a dire need for critical, active feminism. Monsters, creatures both incredibly potent and popular, can serve as conduits through which to lay bare existing problems and reveal possible ways forward. Popular texts like True Blood, Frozen, Maleficent, World War Z, and The Walking Dead use powerful female monsters and heroes not only to resist those forces that wish to maintain the status quo, but also to envision alternative socio-cultural formations. This book will contribute to essential discussions in feminism, popular culture, gender and sexuality studies, cultural studies, film studies, and contemporary literature.

Radical Monstrosity in Literature, Film, and TV

Feminist Perspectives on Contemporary Zombies, Vampires, and Witches

A sweeping history of Disney's rise to cultural dominance that pulls all the skeletons from the corporate closet and playfully decodes the hidden political messages in all of your favorite childhood movies. 
 
In The Extended Universe, Vicky Osterweil takes us on a quest to discover the black magic by which Disney has successfully made its image synonymous with not only youthful splendor, but pop culture itself. Their "imagineers" have made it impossible to reflect on the wonders of growing up without immediately thinking of Disney's movies, Disney's amusement parks, and various other bits and bobs of related Disney merchandising. What Osterweil unearths are reactionary political commitments and maleficent legal maneuvers-from fighting to protect the patent on the COVID vaccine, to breaking early efforts at an animator's union-so cartoonishly evil they would make one of Walt's own animated villains blush. 
 
Along the way, Osterweil braids together Disney's corporate history, an economic accounting of capitalism's dependency on IP, and deeply engaging (and not entirely unsympathetic) analysis of some of Disney's most famous movies, including Snow White, The Lion King (animated and live action!),&nbsp; Black Panther, and more. The result is an entertainingly woven and convincing case that Disney's entire business model has been built upon a ruthless and fanatical defense of intellectual property rights-from Steamboat Willie to Infinity Wars and beyond!

This book argues that although Soviet ideology did not accept the principle of biologically based racial inferiority, aspired to achieve equality for all citizens under socialist internationalism and regarded "race" as a concept formulated by modern capitalism, nevertheless Soviet films that addressed issues of "race" still exposed their authors' views. Moreover, the book contends that these views made a significant contribution to popular perceptions and to the gradual rise of "white supremacy" thinking in the late Soviet period, with such thinking being now very widely held in post-Soviet, contemporary Russia. The book discusses a wide range of films including films about Africa, Africans and Afro-Americans, explores in detail the Soviet social construction of race, gender and identity and contrasts this with the development of racial thinking in the Western world. The book's rich and subtle analysis shows how Soviet cine-culture in a variety of popular genres, from adventure films to biopics and political drama, re-articulated meanings of "race" through allegedly anti-racist imageries of "blackness" and "whiteness".

Das Handbuch denkt Medientheorien konsequent von den gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Transformationen von Kultur, Technologie und Gesellschaft her. Die Struktur und die Begriffe des Handbuchs greife globale Trends und Probleme des Medienwandels auf, die auf das Engste mit den technologischen Entwicklungen und Veränderungen von Kultur und Gesellschaft im Ganzen verknüpft sind. 
Angesichts dieser Komplexität und der zentralen Rolle, die Medien in gesellschaftlichen Transformationsprozessen einnehmen, existieren Medientheorien nur im Plural und stehen vor der Herausforderung ihrer beständigen Neuerfindung. Das ›Handbuch Medientheorien des 21. Jahrhunderts‹ schreibt daher nicht bloß einen bestehenden Kanon fest. Medientheorie wird vielmehr als eine kreative Praxis verstanden, die den zeitgenössischen sowie nahzukünftigen Bedingungen und Herausforderungen des Medienwandels mit neuen Begriffen und Theoremen begegnet.Der Gebrauchswert des Handbuchs besteht darin, zentrale Problemlagen der (post-)digitalen Gegenwart und Zukunft zu adressieren. Renommierte Autor:innen aus Medienwissenschaft und angrenzenden Disziplinen zeigen auf, inwiefern Medientheorien die Analyse einer hochtechnisierten, globalen Medienkultur ermöglichen, welche eng mit den mannigfaltigen Prozessen kultureller Differenzierung und Identitätsbildung verschränkt ist.Für Forscher:innen wie für Studierende, die an aktuellen Problemlagen interessiert sind, versammelt das Handbuch maßgebliche Themen, Begriffe und Konzepte, die den ›state of the art‹ zeitgenössischer medientheoretischer Diskurse bilden und als ›cutting edge‹-Beiträge Pfade für zukünftige Debatten vorzeichnen. Im Sinne einer kreativen Aneignung suchen die Beiträge dabei den Rückbezug zu etablierten Autor:innen der Medientheorie aus dem 20. Jahrhundert (z. B. Benjamin, McLuhan, Kittler), aktualisieren und rekontextualisieren deren Einsichten aber im Hinblick auf die Herausforderungen der Gegenwart und Zukunft.Die Herausgeber*innenPD Dr. Christoph Ernst ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter der Abteilung Medienwissenschaft an der Universität Bonn.Dr. Katerina Krtilova ist wssenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Forschungsschwerpunkt Ästhetik und Koordinatorin des Doktoratsprogramms „Epistemologien ästhetischer Praktiken“, angesiedelt am Collegium Helveticum als Kooperationsprojekt zwischen der ZHdK, ETH und Universität Zürich.Prof. Dr. Jens Schröter ist Inhaber des Lehrstuhls Medienkulturwissenschaft an der Universität Bonn.Dr. Andreas Sudmann ist Privatdozent für Medienwissenschaft an der Universität Bochum und derzeit als wissenschaftlicher Koordinator und Principal Investigator für die Forschungsgruppe „How is artificial intelligence changing science? Research in the era of learning algorithms“ an der Universität Bonn tätig. Aktuelle Forschungsschwerpunkte: Digitale Medienkulturen und insbesondere Künstliche Intelligenz, Digitale Methoden, Theorie und Geschichte der Medien mit Schwerpunkt auf medienästhetische Problemstellungen, Medienkritik, medienwissenschaftliche Wissenschaft- und Technikforschung.
