Description
Cinema and Spectatorship is the first comprehensive examination of the spectator's role in contemporary film studies, challenging the 1970s theoretical divide between cinematic subjects and actual film-goers. Judith Mayne explores the productive friction between these perspectives as central to understanding how audiences engage with cinema. The book's first section presents three essential theoretical models of spectatorship: the perceptual, institutional, and historical approaches that frame modern film analysis. The second section applies these models through detailed case studies that demonstrate how spectator theory operates in practice. This Routledge volume bridges abstract film theory and real viewer experience, making it essential for film scholars, students, and anyone interested in how cinema shapes and is shaped by its audiences.

Key Features

Cinema and Spectatorship explores the history and contemporary role of the spectator in film studies through rigorous theoretical analysis.

The first section presents three foundational theoretical models of spectatorship: perceptual, institutional, and historical frameworks.

Case studies in the second section crystallise key spectator theory concepts using concrete examples from cinema history.

Judith Mayne's Routledge publication examines the tension between cinematic subjects and film-goers as central to spectatorship studies.

The book addresses how audiences actively construct meaning through viewing, moving beyond passive reception models in film theory.
