Through an exploration of a range of relevant historical materials (from film reviews to fan websites, to video advertising materials) the book examines how this unusual, historically-specific genre category was formulated in a particular context, and then used (for different reasons) by moral campaigners, distributors, critics and fans.By examining the discourses that inform the circulation of a group of banned films (including the growth of DVD, the internet and the academic rehabilitation of horror films), the book argues that censorship is not just about rules and regulations, but also about the material, cultural and commercial consequences of a censorhsip act of law.It will be of great interest to lecturers and students of film, popular culture and the media, as well as enthusiasts of horror films and those interested in film censorship debates.Sprache: EnglischHerstellungsland und -region: GBHöhe: 216mmLänge: 138mmBreite: 16mmBuchreihe: Inside Popular FilmTitle Format: Taschenbuch Information fehlt?Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn Details fehlen und wir werden diese solange möglich zu unserer Beschreibung hinzufügen., Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Buchtitel: Trash or Treasure, Subtitle: Censorship and the Changing Meanings of the Video Nasties, Genre: Arts & Photography, Thematik: Films & TV, Release date: 30/06/2012, Sprache: Englisch, Herstellungsland und -region: GB, Höhe: 216mm, Länge: 138mm, Breite: 16mm, Manchester University Press<
