Packed with dozens of case studies and hundreds of vibrant color stills from films across the globe, this book provides the definitive account of post-classical storytelling and its innovative techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe post-classical narrative style emerged in auteur films from diverse production contexts in the 1990s, gaining prominence throughout the 2000s and 2010s. It has proven resilient and creative, transforming key formal principles such as fragmented and multi-thread plotlines, hypermediated realism, parody, graphic frame construction, complex chronology, and intense self-consciousness. Through meticulous textual analysis of post-classical works, Eleftheria Thanouli addresses methodological questions in narrative research, reviving the tradition of historical poetics. By reinforcing her previous work with numerous new films and nuanced narrative terms and concepts, Thanouli strengthens her position in post-classical cinema and establishes the relevance of formalist analysis in the study of film today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 488g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 x 229 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781501393075\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr. EleftheriaThanouli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44895987007738,"sku":"9781501393075","price":24.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1702659862152_book.jpg?v=1702725647","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/a-guide-to-postclassical-narration-the-future-of-film-storytelling-9781501393075","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
