Price: £29.99How does post-classical cinema visualize its awareness of coming after a "classical" or "golden age"? How do post-classical filmmakers claim or disavow classical history? How do historically disenfranchised post-classical filmmakers, whether by gender, sexuality, or race, grapple with exclusionary and stereotype-ridden canons? Classical Projections offers a new way of seeing quotations of films within other films.

"This book's solidly interdisciplinary framing sustains richly detailed research and analysis. It will speak to broad audiences across film, media, and cultural studies, as well as gender and women's studies and critical race theory. Palis's analysis takes the most subtle and incisive type of approach to questions of both the canon and authorship. Her argument bypasses more traditional, additive or inclusive canon 'revision' in favor of a radical reshaping, reframing, and re-contextualizing of the canonical history of U.S. cinema since the 'New Hollywood." - Sharon Willis, Professor of Art History and Visual and Cultural Studies, University of Rochester
