By 1800 London had as many theatre seats for sale as the city's population. This was the start of the capital's rise as a centre for performing arts. Bringing to life a period of extraordinary theatrical vitality, David Worrall re-examines the beginnings of celebrity culture amidst a monopolistic commercial theatrical marketplace. The book presents an innovative transposition of social assemblage theory into performance history. It argues that the cultural meaning of drama changes with every change in the performance location. This theoretical model is applied to a wide range of archival materials including censor's manuscripts, theatre ledger books, performance schedules, unfamiliar play texts and rare printed sources. By examining prompters' records, box office receipts and benefit night takings, the study questions the status of David Garrick, Sarah Siddons and Edmund Kean, and recovers the neglected actress, Elizabeth Younge, and her importance to Edmund Burke.

Beginning in the 1950's, ""Euro Horror"" movies materialized in astonishing numbers from Italy, Spain, and France and popped up in the US at rural drive-ins and urban grindhouse theaters such as those that once dotted New York's Times Square. Gorier, sexier, and stranger than most American horror films of the time, they were embraced by hardcore fans and denounced by critics as the worst kind of cinematic trash. In this volume, Olney explores some of the most popular genres of Euro Horror cinema-including giallo films, named for the yellow covers of Italian pulp fiction, the S&M horror film,

Mit dem Radio entstand in den 1920er Jahren ein aktuelles Medium, das seine Botschaften schnell und ungehindert einem breiten Publikum zugänglich machen konnte. Lange war es das Instrument der populären Information und der Unterhaltung, der Bildung und der Propaganda schlechthin. Erst nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg machte ihm das Fernsehen Konkurrenz und zwang es dazu, seine Stärken in den Bereichen Service und Begleitung auszubauen. Ausgangsthema dieses Buches ist die Funktion des Radios in der öffentlichen Kommunikation. Mit Beispielen aus Geschichte und Gegenwart des Radios in verschiedenen Ländern behandelt es sodann 1. die Bedingungen, die das duale System in Deutschland und in anderen Ländern für die Kommunikation des Radios schafft, 2. die Bedeutung des Radios für die Akteure, also für jene Gruppen und Individuen in Alltag, Politik, Wirtschaft und Kultur, die zum Gegenstand der Programme werden, 3. die Beteiligung der Rezipienten, also derjenigen, die von Radio als Hörerinnen und Hörer angesprochen werden, die darin aber auch selbst aktiv werden können. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Inhalten des Hörfunks: auf den Ausdrucksmitteln, Textsorten und Formaten, die das Radio geschaffen hat, um die Begegnung von Kommunikator, Akteur und Rezipient zu ermöglichen. Ein Hauptkapitel widmet sich neben den Grundelementen der Radio-Sprache und Programmstrukturen den Sendeformen Nachricht, gebauter Beitrag, Live-Reportage, Moderation, Servicebeitrag sowie der Musik, Werbung und PR im Radio.

With a focus on the social, economic, and cultural factors that influence how we watch and think about movies, this book centres its investigations on four areas of inquiry: Who watches films? Under what circumstances? What consequences and affects follow? And what do these acts of consumption mean?
