Abstract

The Oxford Handbook of Film and Media Studies provides a single-volume source of original scholarship on the intersection of film and media studies. Comprised of twenty articles by leading scholars and industry professionals, this collection yields fresh perspectives on a wide array of topics across these two vibrant fields. Covering film and media in the U.S., Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East, this compendium surveys such topics as the changing concept of “realism” in film, the European political documentary, and genre theory. Also exploring recent developments in media studies, with special attention to new media, the volume features articles that thoroughly examine topics as diverse as copyright, globalization, television programming, video game genres, the ideologies of media, and movie-going in India.

Keywords: film, media, film realism, genre theory, new media, media copyright, media globalization, television programming, video games, media ideologies
