Fatimah Rony's "The Third Eye" and Catherine Russell's Experimental Ethnography, as well as Trinh Minh-Ha's work might all be useful, though not specific to Korea. -----Original Message----- From: Leslie Kay Swigart [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 11:40 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Cultural/social film theory??? Dear Screen-L'ers: I am trying to assist a student who emailed a request: "I am writing about Im Kwon-Taek and I would like to support that he uses film as cultural preservation and social criticism. Can you recommend a good academic book that contains film theory with cultural/socia issue?" So, my question is: What books (or articles) would you suggest that *best* deal with these issues, either in general, or with Korean film, or with Im Kwon-Taek specificially? I will be showing the student to the use of _FIlm Literature Index_ and _International Index to Film Periodicals_ to conduct a literature review and how to find the materials in our library or outside of it, but I need your advice (not being a theorist myself) as to the particular critics or works best suited. Thanks!
