- This is a monograph of 228 pages, resulting from four years of research. It seeks to reorient film studies' relationship with ecological questions and concepts, and to enrich the field's understanding of post-Classical Hollywood. It is grounded in the methodologies of film aesthetics with reference also to cultural geography, art history, and literature; and it is informed by original archival research. The critical approach is based on analysis of the material specificity of 15 indicative case studies, and in turn serves as an inquiry into the ways that cinema more broadly imagines humans in relation to their non-human surroundings.
