موتیف‌های هیچکاک (انتشارات دانشگاه آمستردام - فرهنگ فیلم در حال گذار)

Alfred Hitchcock's Films Are Renowned The World Over, And A Mountain Of Literature Has Detailed Seemingly Every Facet Of Them. Yet Remarkably Few Studies Have Solely Focused On The Recurring Motifs In Hitchcock's Films. Michael Walker Remedies This Surprising Gap In Hitchcock Literature With An Innovative And In-depth Study Of The Sustained Motifs And Themes Threaded Through Hitchcock's Entire Body Of Work. Combing Through All Fifty-two Extant Feature Films And Representative Episodes From Hitchcock's Television Series, Walker Traces Over Forty Motifs That Emerge In Recurring Objects, Settings, Character-types, And Events. Whether The Loaded Meaning Of Staircases, The Symbolic Status Of Keys And Handbags, Homoeroticism, Guilt And Confession, Or The Role Of Art, Walker Analyzes Such Elements To Reveal A Complex Web Of Cross-references In Hitchcock's Art. He Also Gives Full Attention To The Broader Social Contexts In Which The Motifs And Themes Are Played Out, Arguing That These Interwoven Elements Add New And Richer Depths To Hitchcock's Oeuvre. An Invaluable, Encyclopedic Resource For The Scholar And Fan, Hitchcock's Motifs Is A Fascinating Study Of One Of The Best-known And Most Admired Film Directors In History.

English Among the abundant Alfred Hitchcock literature, Hitchcock's Motifs has found a fresh angle. Starting from recurring objects, settings, character-types and events, Michael Walker tracks some forty motifs, themes and clusters across the whole of Hitchcock's work, including not only all his 52 extant feature films but also representative episodes from his TV series. Connections and deeper inflections that Hitchcock fans may have long sensed or suspected can now be seen for what they are: an intricately spun web of cross-references which gives this unique artist's work the depth, consistency and resonance that justifies Hitchcock's place as probably the best known film director ever.The book can be used as a mini-encyclopaedia of Hitchcock's motifs, but the individual entries give full attention also to the wider social contexts, hidden sources and sometimes unconscious meanings present in the work and solidly linking it to its time and place.
