Cultural Studies and Cinema

Bringing together theoretical approaches on the place of cinema in daily life, the audience's relationship with films, the secrets of cinematographic arrangements, the basic formations behind film production, and how films are actually ideological arrangements through the representations they convey, the book examines cinema in the context of the audience, gaze, culture industry and representation.

Serpil Kirel's work asks questions such as what the audience experiences when they are left alone with films, can "looking" be an innocent action, how does cinema regulate our relationship with the other, how do the East and the West look at each other, what is the position of the audience vis-a-vis the productions of the Culture Industry? He opens the discussion through the works of important theorists such as Hansen, Foucault, Mulvey, Hall, Spivak, Said, Adorno and Benjamin.
