Including essays from established and up-and-coming scholars, Cinema,
Television and History: New Approaches rethinks, recontextualises and
reviews the relationship between cinema, television and history. This
volume incorporates a wide range of methods to a variety of topics,
welcoming both empirical and theoretical approaches, as well as studies
which merge the two. It is a book about how historical events are
interpreted and adapted across cinema and television as the basis of a
story, as much as it is about the endeavours of the practising historian
through the exploration of the archive. Divided into five parts - "New
meanings, new methods", "Re-contextualising cinema and television
history", "Rethinking histories of cinema and television", "Rethinking
history through cinema and television", and "The impact of new
technologies" - the book is knowingly broad and diverse in terms of the
case studies featured within it, and the means through which these
examples are examined, explored, and utilised in their respective
chapters.
