i am interested in learning more about production and reception theories, could someone recommend the appropriate literature? i would particularly be interested to find out if there are such things as marxist, structuralist, semiotic, postmodern takes on production/reception theory. and not to sound too naive: but is it necessary to discuss both production and reception theories together? if so, why? if not, why not? my interest within film studies is german postwar (WWII) film, so if you could relate production/reception theories in this context i would be appreciative--and might even be able to understand it! thanks for your help, //rob levy// Robert D.
