Bibliography
Martin Barker is based at the Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. He is the author of numerous books and articles on media studies and popular culture. Thomas Austin lectures in film studies at Sussex University. He is the author of Hollywood: Hype and Audiences, forthcoming from Manchester University Press.
'It is the author's willingness to critically engage with so much
of what has come to dominate academic film studies today, as well
as the clarity of his writing and the fertility of his thought,
that makes From Antz to Titanic a beneficial if sobering read'
*Steven Jay Schneider, Harvard University*
'I would recommend this book to film students for its evocative and
sometimes insightful reading of seven popular Hollywood films,
together with its critique of several existing film theories'
