lang=EN-GB>This new series of books will address the fundamental relations
between cinema and culture as it became a powerful force in 20<sup>th</sup>
Century life. Authors will explore the network of institutions, representations,
and practices that shape cinema, focussing on cultural and political dynamics.
Together, </span><span lang=EN-GB>the books in the series will show the ways in
which cinema has interacted with a range of institutions, social movements, and
everyday practices, and will investigate the relations of power that have
informed the production, distribution, exhibition, and discursive and material
manifestations of </span><span lang=EN-GB>moving images throughout the 20<sup>th</sup>
and into the 21<sup>st</sup> Centuries. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;text-indent:36.0pt;
line-height:150%'><span lang=EN-GB>“Cultural histories of cinema”
will have a transnational emphasis, entailing comparative as well as nationally
focused work. Films shown in theatres, everyday non-theatrical venues
like schools and factories, and the more recent ubiquity of moving images on
computer screens and mobile devices will be addressed. The series will feature
work that is genuinely cross-disciplinary, drawing on scholarship from, for
example, media and cultural studies, history, geography, urban and area
studies, architectural and art history. “Cultural histories of
cinema” addresses neglected areas of cinema history, explores new
materials, and proposes new methodologies for thinking about the social and
cultural dynamics of the moving image. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
