- Summary:
- "New Developments in Film Theory" investigates how film studies have been influenced by major theoretical advances in postmodernism and post-structuralism while revealing how the study of film has affected those critical movements. Covering topics such as love, terror, the body, and passion, and theories such as feminism, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and semiotics, the author provides new and alternative methods for analyzing film.
