Reviews

""With poetic projection, cinematic and textual interleaving, and metaphorically transgressive seduction, Peterson cross-stitches magic onto celluloid as she shimmers behind, between and before the membrane of textile and film - this book transports us variously to merged worlds of satin, synthetic, glamour, grotesque and the fantastic."" --Catherine Harper, The British University in Egypt, Egypt ""Building on the current materialist turn of film studies, Textiles on Film foregrounds the expressive importance of fabric in film. Bringing textile and film studies together, Peterson draws out the many ways in which it is textiles themselves that help to shape mood, meaning and feeling in the cinema."" --Saige Walton, The University of South Australia, Australia
