The Heimat film genre, assumed to be outdated by so many, is very much alive. Who would have thought that this genre - which has been almost unanimously denounced within academic circles, but which seems to resonate so deeply with the general public - would experience a renaissance in the 21st century? The genre's recent resurgence is perhaps due less to an obsession with generic storylines and stereotyped figures than to a basic human need for grounding that has resulted in a passionate debate about issues of past and present. This book traces the history of the Heimat film genre from the early mountain films to Fatih Akin's contemporary interpretations of Heimat. »Die Studie liefert einen profunden Überblick über die filmische Auseinandersetzung mit Heimat und ermöglicht, sich aus der Perspektive des Heimatfilms quellenreich mit der kulturhistorischen Entwicklung Deutschlands auseinanderzusetzen.« Beate Binder, Zeitschrift für Volkskunde, 108/1 (2012) »Ein bisher nicht möglicher Überblick über Heimat-Vorstellungen, wie und soweit sie sich im Unterhaltungsfilm spiegeln; gleichzeitg erlaubt dieser eine genauere Sicht auf die jeweilige Weltsicht der Zeit.« Willi Höfig, Informationsmittel (IFB), 4 (2012) Reviewed in: www.kino-zeit.de, 5 (2011), Stefan Otto GERMANISTIK, 52/3-4 (2012)

Film Criticism, the Cold War, and the Blacklist examines the long-term reception of several key American films released during the postwar period, focusing on the two main critical lenses used in the interpretation of these films: propaganda and allegory. Produced in response to the hearings held by the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) that resulted in the Hollywood blacklist, these films' ideological message and rhetorical effectiveness was often muddled by the inherent difficulties in dramatizing villains defined by their thoughts and belief systems rather than their actions. Whereas anti-Communist propaganda films offered explicit political exhortation, allegory was the preferred vehicle for veiled or hidden political comment in many police procedurals, historical films, Westerns, and science fiction films. Jeff Smith examines the way that particular heuristics, such as the mental availability of exemplars and the effects of framing, have encouraged critics to match filmic elements to contemporaneous historical events, persons, and policies. In charting the development of these particular readings, Film Criticism, the Cold War, and the Blacklist features case studies of many canonical Cold War titles, including The Red Menace, On the Waterfront, The Robe, High Noon, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
