Paul Willemen,

Digital Games and Media

Willemen's writing has contributed significantly to the development of film theory and cultural studies over the past 20 years. This is a collection of his classic but provocative essays, covering a wide range of issues, from pornography and melodrama to Third Cinema and questions of national identity - from the films of Amos Gitai and Nagashi Oshima to theories of postmodernism and an account of subjectivity. Many of the essays originally published in Screen, After Image and Framework have also been reworked and updated, but Looks and Frictions also includes a number of previously unpublished essays.
