Understanding sound tracks through film theory
Walker, Elsie M.Author
Until recently, there was a lack of scholarly attention to the power of hearing cinema as well as seeing it. 'Understanding Sound Tracks Through Film Theory' breaks new ground by redirecting the arguments of foundational texts within film theory to sound tracks. The book includes sustained analyses of particular films according to a wide range of theoretical approaches: feminism, genre studies, postcolonialism, psychoanalysis, and queer theory.
