Description
The Persistence of Hollywood by Thomas Elsaesser explores how Hollywood's enduring success can be understood. Since the 1960s, film studies have undergone significant transformations, driven in part by Elsaesser's research into Hollywood's persistence. This collection brings together key studies of individual directors and essays on the shifts from classic to corporate Hollywood. It also examines the different critical paradigms that underpin film studies, including auteurism, textual analysis, Marxism, psychoanalysis, and post-industrial analysis. Elsaesser's work provides a nuanced understanding of Hollywood's economic, technological infrastructure, and its place within global capitalism.
