{"product_id":"sex-pistols-on-screen-1","title":"Sex Pistols on Screen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis unique book demonstrates the central importance of visual media to the significance of British Punk rock pioneers the Sex Pistols, beginning with their nation-shocking television interview with Bill Grundy in December 1976.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupported by an examination of surrounding documentary and fictional texts, \u003ci\u003eThe Sex Pistols on Screen\u003c\/i\u003e centres on four key film and television\/streaming depictions with and about the four-man group across four decades, namely\u003ci\u003e The Great Rock ’n’ Roll Swindle\u003c\/i\u003e (Temple, 1980), \u003ci\u003eSid and Nancy\u003c\/i\u003e (Cox, 1986), \u003ci\u003eThe Filth and the Fury\u003c\/i\u003e (Temple, 2000), and \u003ci\u003ePistol\u003c\/i\u003e (Boyle, 2022). Though promising an oppositional stance, these works consistently demonstrate how the mainstream media disarm and commodify any genuine sense of mid-1970s anarchy. In addition, their differing personal perspectives exemplify the subjectivity and self-interested advocacy of all historical interpretation. Nonetheless, they still provide a sense of the empowering hit delivered by the Sex Pistols’ pugnacious music and galvanic live performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccessible yet academically rigorous, \u003cem\u003eThe Sex Pistols on Screen\u003c\/em\u003e is a significant study of the visual media’s importance in forging, reworking and reviving both the history and reputation of this seminal band. It will appeal both to the general reader and students of film, television, media and cultural and popular music studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57427810517336,"sku":"9781032964201","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/sex-pistols-on-screen-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
