  • This first study of Adoor Gopalakrishnan's feature films offers a compelling analysis of the socio-historical contexts of his work. Suranjan Ganguly examines how Kerala's abrupt displacement from a princely feudal state into twentieth-century modernity has shaped Gopalakrishnan's complex narratives about identity, selfhood and otherness, in which innocence is often at stake, and characters struggle with their consciences. Ganguly places the films within their larger frameworks of guilt and redemption in which the hope of emancipation - moral, spiritual and creative - is real and tangible.

  • Jan A. Kregel is considered to be 'the best all-round general economist alive' (G. C. Harcourt). This is the first collection of his essays dealing with a wide range of topics reflecting the incredible depth and breadth of Kregel's work. These essays focus on the role of finance in development and growth. Kregel has expanded Minsky's original postulate that in capitalist economies stability engenders instability in international economy, and this volume collects Kregel's key works devoted to financial instability, its causes and effects. The volume also contains Kregel's most recent discussions of the Great Recession beginning in 2008.

  • 'The Slumdog Phenomenon' addresses multiple issues related to 'Slumdog Millionaire' and, in the process, provides new ways of looking at this controversial film. Each of the book's four sections considers a particular aspect of the film: its relation to the nation, to the slum, to Bollywood and its reception. The volume provides a critical overview of the key issues and debates stemming from the film, and allows readers to reexamine them in light of the anthology's multiple perspectives.

  • This engaging collection of Bruce F. Kawin's most important film essays (1977-2011) is accompanied by his interviews with Lillian Gish (1978) and Howard Hawks (1976). The Hawks interview is particularly concerned with his work with William Faulkner and their friendship. The Gish interview emphasizes her role as a producer in the 1920s. The essays focus on such topics as violence and sexual politics in film, the relations between horror and science fiction, the growth of video and digital cinema and their effects on both film and film scholarship, the politics of film theory, narration in film, and the relations between film and literature. Among the most significant articles reprinted here are 'Me Tarzan, You Junk', 'The Montage Element in Faulkner's Fiction', 'The Mummy's Pool', 'The Whole World Is Watching' and 'Late Show on the Telescreen: Film Studies and the Bottom Line'. The book includes close readings of films from 'La Jetée' to 'The Wizard of Oz'.

The volume covers the horror film and its subgenres – such as the vampire movie – from 1896 to the present. It covers the entire genre by considering every kind of monster in it, including the human.
