Erzählungen aus den Vorstädten
by John Fahey, Karl Bruckmaier, Karl Bruckmaier
John Fahey (1939-2001) holte in den Fünfzigern als erster alte Blueslegenden wie Skip James und Bukka White zurück auf die Bühne, revolutionierte in den Sechzigern den Umgang mit der akkustischen Gitarre, ohrfeigte in den Siebzigern Michelangelo Antonioni, rang in den Achtzigern mit Alkohol und dem Epstein-Barr-Virus und wurde in den Neunzigern zum Übervater einer ganzen Gitarristengenereation von Folk bis Avantgarde. Seine Erzählungen von den Rändern der Gesellschaft und den Wurzeln der amerikanischen Popularmusik stehen in ihrer Kombination aus psychotischem Drive, Komik und Abgründigkeit vergleichslos dar.

The ArtsDecember 2001British stars and stardom
From Alma Taylor to Sean Connery
by Bruce Babington, Susan Williams
Deals analytically with the fascinating topic of the great film stars (and some thought-provoking lesser ones) of the British cinema, from Alma Taylor and Ivor Novello in the Silent period, up to the present day. Looks both at stars who attained worldwide fame through the Hollywood cinema, and those whose contribution is primarily to the national cinema.. First collection of essays on the subject with a wide historical coverage including major figures, such as Connery, Mason, Trevor Howard, Deborah Kerr, Mary Millington, Albert Finney and James Mason. Major figures in UK film studies have contributed, including Marcia Landy, Andrew Higson, Peter Evans, Charles Barr, Pam Cook and Andy Medhurst. ;

The ArtsMarch 2026Acting and performance in Hitchcock
by Adrian Garvey, Victoria Lowe
Hitchcock's professed disdain for actors is belied by the extraordinary range and depth of performances featured in his films. It might even be argued that many stars gave their richest and most complex performances in his work. Hitchcock's films are also imbued with the theme of performance, as when his fugitive men and errant women assume fragile new identities and move between roles. Actors and other performers also often feature as characters. However, the exhaustive academic literature on Hitchcock has to date produced surprisingly little work about acting and performance in his films. The collection includes contributions from a range of leading scholars on Hitchcock, performance, stardom, and British Cinema, including Charles Barr, David Greven, Mark Glancy, Lucy Bolton, Lawrence Napper and Michael Williams, and an interview with leading composers/accompanists Neil Brand and Stephen Horne on scoring performance in Silent Hitchcock.

Critical essays on Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Hitchcock
by Edited by Steven Rawle, Kevin J. Donnelly
This volume of new, spellbinding essays explores the tense relationship between Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann, featuring new perspectives on their collaboration. Featuring essays by leading scholars of Hitchcock's work, including Richard Allen, Charles Barr, Murray Pomerance, Sidney Gottlieb and Jack Sullivan, the collection examines the working relationship between the pair and the contribution that Herrmann's work brings to Hitchcock's idiom. Examining key works, including The Man Who Knew Too Much, Psycho, Marnie and Vertigo, the essays explore approaches to sound, music, collaborative authorship and the distinctive contribution that Herrmann's work with Hitchcock brought to this body of films, examining the significance, meanings, histories and enduring legacies of one of film history's most important partnerships. By engaging with the collaborative work of Hitchcock and Herrmann, the book explores the ways in which film directors and composers collaborate, how this collaboration is experienced in the film text, and the ways in which such partnerships inspire later work.
