Summary:

Cinema and Spectatorship is the first book to focus entirely on the history and role of the spectator in contemporary film studies. While 1970's film theory insisted on a distinction between the cinematic subject and film-goers, Judith Mayne suggests that a very real friction between ""subjects"" and ""viewers"" is in fact central to the study of spectatorship. In the book's first section Mayne examines three theoretical models of spectatorship: the perceptual, the institutional and the historical, while the second section focuses on case studies which crystallize many of the issue
