Abstract:
When he was a fourteen-year-old boy in Alamosa, Colorado, in 1965, Gary W. Gallagher watched Shenandoah, a movie about a Virginia farmer (Jimmy Stewart) who does not want to see his sons fight in the Civil War. He was so fascinated with the story that he remained in Alamosa's Rialto Theater for two more screenings. Now, after many years of teaching and writing about the history of the Civil War, Gallagher has published a book-length examination of Shenandoah and other movies on the subject. Interestingly, Gallagher expanded this study of representations to include works of graphic art. He examined illustrations in 2,750 advertisements, especially those that appeared in magazines with Civil War themes. As in the case of films, he concentrated on works produced in recent decades. There has been a surge in public curiosity about the war, especially after the appearance of Ken Burns's acclaimed documentary series, The Civil War (1990).Keywords:

Genre and Hollywood provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of genre. In this important new book, Steve Neale discusses all the major concepts, theories and accounts of Hollywood and genre, as well as the key genres which theorists have written about, from horror to the Western. He also puts forward new arguments about the importance of genre in understanding Hollywood cinema.Neale takes issue with much genre criticism and genre theory, which has provided only a partial and misleading account of Hollywood's output. He calls for broader and more flexible conceptions of genre and genres, for more attention to be paid to the discourses and practices of Hollywood itself, for the nature and range of Hollywood's films to be looked at in more detail, and for any assessment of the social and cultural significance of Hollywood's genres to take account of industrial factors.In detailed, revisionist accounts of two major genres - film noir and melodrama - Neale argues that genre remains an important and productive means of thinking about both New and old Hollywood, its history, its audiences and its films.

Steve Erickson's novel Zeroville, about a “cineautistic” editor in Hollywood in the 1970s, is very much about filmmaking and the industry itself. One of the main characters in the book, who is in Spain, shooting a film set in Morocco, observes: “It's all Hollywood, everywhere is Hollywood, the only place on the planet that's not Hollywood anymore is Hollywood.” The scene takes place at the beginning of the New Hollywood era. If anything, shooting and even post-production have been dispersed more widely around the world since then, and now “everywhere is Hollywood” indeed. “Hollywood” is no longer a locative signifier; it denotes complex global networks of media production and distribution.

The author, an editorial and magazine writer who for the past year has been working with the Hollywood Writers Mobilization, views the establishment of the Hollywood Quarterly as further evidence of Hollywood's search for maturity. Sponsored jointly by the Mobilization and the University of California, the Hollywood Quarterly represents a continuation in peace of the war-time collaboration between educators and the creative workers in the film and radio industries.
