Indiana University Press is pleased to announce the recent publication of: Jane Campion Authorship and Personal Cinema Alistair Fox "Alistair Fox offers an impressively rich and thoroughly documented reading of Jane Campion's films. . . . [He] persuasively interprets them as working through the traumas of the artist's life. . . . Fox succeeds in resuscitating the biological author, giving us Jane Campion without the qualification of quotation marks around her name." ‹Barry Keith Grant, Brock University Fox explores the dynamics of the creative process involved in cinematic representation in the films of Jane Campion, one of the most highly regarded of contemporary filmmakers. Utilizing a wealth of new material‹including interviews with Campion and her sister and personal writings of her mother‹Fox traces the connections between the filmmaker¹s complex background and the thematic preoccupations of her films, from her earliest short, Peel, to 2009¹s Bright Star. He establishes how Campion¹s deep investment in family relationships informs her aesthetic strategies, revealed in everything from the handling of shots and lighting, to the complex system of symbolic images repeated from one film to the next. 288 pp., 22 b&w illus. cloth 978-0-253-35618-5 $75.00 paper 978-0-253-22301-2 $26.95 For more information, visit: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/product_info.php?isbn=978-0-253-22301 -2 For Instructors: If you are interested in adopting this book for course use, please see our exam copy policy: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/information.php?info_id=122&meid=122 --------------------- Laura Baich Electronic Marketing Manager Indiana University Press 812-855-8287 | 812-856-0415 (fax) online: http://iupress.indiana.edu blog: http://iupress.typepad.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/iupress Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/iupress ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama: http://www.tcf.ua.edu
