Description

Explore the complex relationship between pleasure and art in this revised edition of Only Entertainment by Routledge. This text examines how the pursuit of pleasure defines entertainment and sets it apart from other artistic expressions. By looking at various genres, the book provides a deep look into how we consume media and the cultural meanings behind it. Richard Dyer analyzes a wide range of popular genres, including musicals, action movies, disco, and porn. Through specific studies of films like The Sound of Music and Speed, the author explores the nature of entertainment and how it functions within our daily lives. The book argues that our understanding of entertainment is part of a common sense that is shaped by historical and cultural contexts. This updated edition is expanded to include a revised introduction and five new chapters covering modern topics. It is an essential resource for students and readers interested in film studies, media theory, and the history of popular culture.
