UNDERSTANDING FILM THEORY

Book ID/图书代码： 08296011B50423

English Summary/英文概要： Film theory has a reputation for being difficult. It is challenging, it takes time and it can frequently leave students feeling inadequate and frustrated. Furthermore, theory can often seem intimidating and oldfashioned and therefore it can be difficult to appreciate its modern-day relevance. Understanding Film Theory aims to disassociate theory from these negative connotations and bring a fresh,

modern and accessible approach to the discipline. Each of the fifteen chapters provides an insight into the main areas of debate by introducing key ideas and thinkers.

Taking the application of theory as its central theme, the book incorporates a number of exciting and innovative features:

‘Reflect and Respond’ sections encourage readers to engage critically with theoretical concepts, while seminal texts are concisely summarized without oversimplifying key points.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 电影理论一直以令人费解而闻名于世。它太具有挑战性，耗费时间，常常让学生感到挫败和无能。此外，人们时常觉得该理论既太过骇人，又显得过时，因此很难欣赏其与当今时代的关联性。《电影理论入门》旨在将该理论从那些消极的观点中解救出来，并赋予其全新、现代和易于理解的含义。全书共15章节，每一章通过介绍主要观点和代表人物，对那些饱受争议的主流领域进行了深入的解析。

本书将理论应用作为中心主旨，融入了一系列令人兴奋和新颖独到的特色：“反思和反映”部分鼓励读者带着批判性的理论概念参与进来，而精华的文本虽然简洁概括，却未过度简单化要旨。（XMM）
