The Routledge Companion to Music Under German Occupation, 1938-1945: Propaganda, Myth and Reality

This critical dictionary clearly and accessibly explains the major theoretical approaches deployed in the study of the moving image, as well as defining key theoretical terms. Since 1970, the field of television and film studies has emerged from several related disciplines: literary studies, psychoanalysis, history and sociology, among others. It has been established as a discipline in its own right with a complex and developed theoretical apparatus of its own. This dictionary provides readers with the conceptual apparatus to understand the often daunting language and terminology of screen studies. It offers beginning students an introductory map of the field and more experienced students and scholars a refresher course on the basic concepts. Its key features are: over 400 entries; entries ranging from 500 to 3000 words and giving a context to the debate surrounding the term rather than a simplistic definition ; suggestions for further reading; it is fully indexed; and it is fully cross-referenced.
