Film as Social Practice by Graeme Turner

3.0

Comprehensive, relatively lightweight whistlestop tour of basic tenets within film theory -- visual arrangements, industrial relations, critical perspectives & aligned within themes of cultural studies vaguely prodding at how identities or ideologies may be reinforced/criticised by cinema. Offers little of its own contributions, largely relying on citing & illuminating paths to essential scholars, although as a congregation it's a wonderfully cohesive text.
