Beskrivning

This book anthologises selected key works from the oeuvre of Colin McArthur, a pioneering figure within Anglophone Film and Scottish cultural studies since the 1960s.Collecting together thirty-seven essays written between 1966 and 2022, twenty-one of which were hitherto out-of-print, the book identifies and illustrates the central strands of scholarly interest that have defined one of British Film Studies and Scottish Cultural Studies' most influential careers: critical investigation and legitimisation of mid-twentieth-century Hollywood cinema and popular American film genres; the cinematic representation of Scotland and the gradual development of a Scottish film production sector; and Scotland's status as a distinctive visual and material cultural signifier within a diverse range of international popular cultures from the eighteenth century to the present.

Ranging from pioneering analyses of popular American cinema to ground-breaking studies of the representation of Scotland in visual and material culture, Colin McArthur’s writings have always, from the 1960s to the present day, constituted major interventions in their fields. It is thus particularly welcome that some of the finest examples are now readily accessible, and in such a diligently edited collection.
