"This first of its kind examination turns the spotlight on the fan magazines of the "classic Hollywood" era, which famously fed obsessions with celebrities such as Mae West and Elvis Presley. In their heyday, from the 1920s to the 1950s, about twenty major fan magazines were on offer every month at American newsstands, with even more offered in other countries. However, film studies scholars often still regard these publications with suspicion, perhaps due to the magazines' reputation for purveying scandal and gossip, and their frequent mingling of gushing tone and blatant falsehood. However, by treating these movie magazines as primary sources, the contributors are able to gain unique insights into contemporary assumptions about the relationship between fan and star, performer and viewer. As a result, they find these fan magazines to be a huge and hitherto largely untapped resource on a wealth of subjects, including appropriate gender roles, appearance and behavior, and national identity. Essayists address three key areas: the variety of periodicals published under the movie or fan magazine rubric; the magazines' widespread emphasis on stars, fans, and the interaction of the two; and international variations on the original American model. Combining innovative scholarship with an entertaining subject matter, this collection on an understudied yet powerful cultural medium is sure to appeal to film, media, fan, and popular culture studies scholars alike, not to mention film buffs of Hollywood's "golden era.""--

Out of the Grid presents a critical selection of 100 Italian zines from 1978 to 2006 that display a broad spectrum of social, political, aesthetic, and technological changes in the use of language and communication strategies across the territory of self publishing.Widely mapping Italian society, particularly youth culture?over an extended period that can be symbolically defined as the ?post-movement? and ?pre-internet3.0??, this outpouring of creativity gave visibility to small, imaginative and technical shifts on paper that made mimeographs, photocopiers and offset machines tremble, and often erupted into the need to communicate through other mediums. The titles selected originated from different scenes?musical, social, artistic, literary??within which the distances between authors and readers is eliminated. To help navigate this multitude of subcultures, each zine is introduced by a profile that provides further analysis and information. No specific structure has been imposed, leaving room for the specific characteristics of each project to emerge. 100 titles ? paths.Bron : https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/shop/out-of-the-grid-italian-zine-1978-2006-post-movimento-pre-internet-3-0/
