- This is a sole-authored text (University of Edinburgh Press 2018) that explores ‘extreme art’ films 1929-2015 in the context of the home video industry (pp. 1-234). Based on 4 years of research, the work is presented via 7 chapters with introduction and conclusion. 6 chapters present detailed case studies that each establish a new approach to the home video as ‘paratext’. Drawing on substantial theories from material culture, film, cinema and fan studies, the book is innovative in its use of extensive primary resources surrounding the case-study films including BluRay/DVD covers, artworks, promotional materials, journalism and critical reviews.
