我要吃瓜 me

I am Emeritus Professor of Screen Analysis and have worked in Stirling since the establishment of film studies here in 1978. I have retired but continue to pursue the research interests that have fascinated me for years.

Research (2)

Cinema as Therapy: Grief and Transformational Films is the latest work reflecting my research interest in the Post-Jungian analysis of film and television. Joanna Dovalis and I have begun work on its successor talking into account recent theoretical developments. ?I was Co-Investigator on an AHRC-funded project British Silent Cinema and the Transition to Sound, 2014 to 2017. From 2007 to 2010 I led a team in a three-year research project on The Cinema Authorship of Lindsay Anderson, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.? ?I am the author of several books, in addition to numerous articles. The books include: Reading the Screen (Longman 1984)? ?Hollywood and the Box Office, 1895-1986 (Macmillan 1988)? ?The Films of Nicolas Roeg (Macmillan 1992)? ?An Introduction to Television Documentary (Manchester University Press, 1997) with Richard Kilborn? ?Myth, Mind and the Screen: Understanding the Heroes of our Time (Cambridge University Press, 2001)? ?Screen, Culture and Psyche: A Post-Jungian Approach to Working with the Audience (Routledge, 2006)? ?Lindsay Anderson: Cinema Authorship (Manchester University Press, 2012) with Karl Magee, Kathryn Hannan and Isabelle Gourdin-Sangouard? ?Cinema as Therapy: Grief and Transformational Film (Routledge, 2015) with Joanna Dovalis
