Description de l'ouvrage:
Looking at contemporary film and television, this book explores how popular genres frame our understanding of on-screen performance. Previous studies of screen performance have tended to fix upon star actors, directors, or programme makers, or they have concentrated upon particular training and acting styles. Moving outside of these confines, this book provides a truly interdisciplinary account of performance in film and television and examines a much neglected area in our understanding of how popular genres and performance intersect on screen.

Each chapter concentrates upon a particular genre or draws upon generic case studies in examining the significance of screen performance. Individual chapters examine contemporary film noir, horror, the biopic, drama-documentary, the western, science fiction, comedy performance in 'spoof news' programmes and the television 'sit com' and popular Bollywood films.

À propos de l'auteur :
Christine Cornea is Lecturer in Film and Television with the School of Film and Television at the University of East Anglia

Revue de Presse:
"All these studies are well-written, cogent, and topical discussions of performance issues related to their genres. The images which accompany them are well chosen and interesting. Overall, Genre and Performance: Film and Television is an important addition..." - Western American Literature, Summer 2012 issue
