Film and music belong together; classics like Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927) and Mike Nichols’ The Graduate (1967) are renowned for their brilliant soundtracks. But what exactly is ‘film music?’ Does music act as an accompaniment to the ‘film’, or is film an illustration of the music, or are the two inseparable?In Film Music Peter Larsen traces the history of music in film and discusses central theoretical questions concerning its narrative and psychological functions. He looks in depth at classics such as Howard Hawks’ The Big Sleep (1946) and Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959), as well as later international blockbusters and cult films including American Grafitti (1973), Star Wars (1977) and Blade Runner (1982). These case studies explore the role of music in the history of film, and also show how other films can be discussed in relationship to their music.Film Music offers a much-needed overview of how music functions in film and serves as a fascinating, accessible introduction to the analysis of film music. The book will serve as an important text for students of film, music and cultural disciplines, as well as the general reader with an interest in film and popular music.

Rhetorica Scandinavica has functioned as a sower of academic seeds. As the journal has grown, rhetoric courses and programmes have multiplied across Scandinavia. The journal is the major source of nativelanguage literature in the field, and articles frequently find a place on curricula. Thus, Rhetorica Scandinavica has had a significant impact on the study of rhetoric in the Scandinavian countries. The 18 articles in this book are just a few highlights from 13 years – a total of over 225 peer-reviewed articles – of Rhetorica Scandinavica publications. They have been chosen to introduce some aspects of the study of rhetoric as it is performed in Scandinavia to a readership that is un-familiar with the three Scandinavian languages.
