Critical Approaches to TV and Film Set Design

Critical Approaches to TV and Film Set Design

The analysis of scenic design in film and television is often neglected with visual design elements relegated to part of the mise-en-scène in cinema or simply as wallpaper in television. Critical Approaches to TV and Film Set Design positions itself from the audience perspective to explore how we watch TV and film and how set design enhances and influences the viewing experience. By using semiotics history and narratology and adding concepts drawn from art architecture and theatre Geraint D’Arcy reworks the key concepts of set design. Looking at the impact of production design on how the viewer reads film and television these updated theories can be applied more flexibly and extensively in academic criticism. D’Arcy creates a new theoretical approach representing a significant expansion of the field and filling the remaining gaps. This book is ideal for anyone interested in understanding how we can read and interpret design in film and television and should be the primary point of reference for those studying TV and film set design.

Main Currents in Sociological Thought 2 Volume Set

Main Currents in Sociological Thought 2 Volume Set

Raymond Aron's classic two-volume study of the sociological tradition is arguably the definitive work of its kind. More than a work of reconstruction Aron's study is at its deepest level an engagement with the question of modernity: What constitutes the essence of the modern order that having emerged in the eighteenth century still shapes our experience? With scrupulous fairness Aron examines the thought and arguments of the major social thinkers in this two volume set. Volume one explores three traditions: the French liberal school of political sociology represented by Montesquieu and Tocqueville; the Comtean tradition anticipating Durkheim in its its elevation of social unity and consensus; and the Marxists who posited the struggle between classes and placed their faith in historical necessity. Volume two explores the work of three figures who profoundly shaped sociology as it entered the twentieth century: Emile Durkheim who continued Auguste Comte's quest for a science of society and a scientific validation of morality; Vilfredo Pareto the Italian neo-Machiavellian who emphasized the oligarchic or elitist character of all societies; and the German sociologist Max Weber who reflected critically on the prospects for human freedom in an age marked by bureaucratization and rationalization. Both volumes of Main Currents of Sociological Thought are essential reading for any student of sociology political thought and political philosophy as well as any general reader interested in the ideas the thinkers who shaped modern social and political thought. | Main Currents in Sociological Thought 2 Volume Set
