New to the Wiley-Blackwell Studies in Film and Television Series

CSiDEREK KOMPARE Southern Methodist University, USA

this original new study investigates the cultural importance of the tv show, both for the media industry and for the criminal justice system itself, exploring its formal and narrative style, and its impact on media culture. CSI provides a model for studying how genre, narrative, industry concerns, and the broad ‘public life’ of a television series contribute to our understanding of the nature and function of contemporary popular television.

Top HatPEtER WILLIAM EVANS Queen Mary, University of London, UK

“Packed with information and insight, this book is as elegantly structured and presented as the film itself. An excellent addition to an excellent series.”

steve neaLe, university of eXeter

this immensely readable book offers a detailed analysis of one of Hollywood’s greatest musicals, including a comprehensive survey of the film’s production, promotion and reception, all measured against the background of 1930s socio-political contexts in the usa.

Museums and the public SphereJENNIFER BARREttUniversity of Sydney, Australia

in this thought-provoking study, Jennifer Barrett investigates the role of museums in engaging in public discourse, and gauges their ability to operate as sites of democratic public space. reworking the idea of the museum is critical in a world in which exhibition spaces compete with a host of other public fora — community cultural centers, public halls and the internet, and Museums and the Public Sphere examines the implications of a more complex understanding of how the public is realized, invoked, and understood in the museum context.
