Reviews

Consumers in the 1930s understood the importance of the studio; In the Studio argues that contemporary scholars of film and media studies should follow suit. The volume makes an important contribution to these disciplines, helping to advance a new subfield by showing how an emphasis on the material spaces of production expands or nuances our understanding of cinema and television. * The Moving Image *
