Description de l'ouvrage :
We are all experts about Hollywood. We have to be, given its iconic power as the global source of so much entertainment. Designed to add to existing expertise as a movie-goer, The Contemporary Hollywood Reader enables students to enter into the thematic, critical, artistic, economic, and political debates on Hollywood.
The Contemporary Hollywood Reader is a dynamic selection of scholarly writings on Hollywood from the post-World War II period onwards, divided into three sections, each with contextualizing introductions from the Editor. The sections, Production, Text, and Circulation, address all the major perspectives on Hollywood allowing equal attention to the field, in both thematic and disciplinary senses.
In this collection, Toby Miller offers a plural, open guide to major scholarly tendencies in writing about Hollywood with a mixture of familiar and less familiar works. While the Reader draws on research undertaken within US-UK film or cinema studies, it also ventures further afield, bringing together the most stimulating materials available on the subject.

Revue de Presse :
'This star-studded collection will guide students, scholars and others interested in understanding contemporary Hollywood. From production through texts to audiences – it's all here in this valuable collection of classic works that will undoubtedly become a classic itself.' – Janet Wasko, Knight Chair in Communication Research, University of Oregon, USA
'This is not your standard Hollywood reader. Toby Miller's collection approaches the analysis of contemporary Hollywood from an unusually wide variety of disciplinary, methodological and political perspectives, taking us away from the conventional canons of texts and stars and towards a closer and more critical focus on the systems and structures which produce them, and which make them the way they are.' – Graeme Turner, The Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, University of Queensland, Australia.
'The Contemporary Hollywood Reader is broad in scope, but remains fixed around a blend of political economy, critical cultrual studies and some more eclectic examinations of text and theory.' – Scope, Issue 20, June 2011
