The Psychology of CulturalStudies

By Philip Bell

Confronting Theory presents a methodological(philosophical) and educational evaluationand critique of what has come to be known asTheory (‘with a capital-T’) in cross-disciplinaryhumanities education.

French Costume Drama ofthe 1950s

Fashioning Politics in FilmBy Susan Hayward When political and civil unrest threatenedFrance’s social order in the 1950s, Frenchcinema provided audiences a seeminglyunique form of escapism from such troubledtimes: a nostalgic look back to the France ofthe nineteenth and earlier centuries, withcostume dramas set in the age of Napoleon,the Belle Époque, the Revolution and furtherback to seventeenth-century swashbuckleradventures and tales of mystery and revenge.Film critics have routinely dismissed this periodand this genre of French cinema, overlookingits importance in terms of political culturalhistory.

The Philosophical Actor

A Practical Meditation forPracticing Theatre Artists

By Donna Soto-Morettini There have been many books published onacting, actor training, and practical theories forpreparing for a role, but none of these bookshave looked philosophically at the conceptsthat we use when we talk about acting. Thisbook is the rst attempt to grapple with thefundamental questions of truth, art, and human

nature unexamined in past treatments, fromthe rst essay by Diderot to the exhaustivesystem described by Stanislavski. With wideappeal to actors, directors, acting students,acting teachers and trainers, Soto-Morettinidraws from twenty-ve years of experienceas an acting teacher and director to introduceinnovative ways of thinking about acting.
