[SR: 8119758], Paperback, [EAN: 9780779932917], The Edwin Mellen Press, The Edwin Mellen Press, Book, [PU: The Edwin Mellen Press], The Edwin Mellen Press, "Basing her study on primary sources, Jackson provides insights into the active life, aesthetic theories, and film practices of a gifted artist....focuses much attention on Deren's most important theoretical work, An Anagram of Ideas on Art, Form and Film (1946), which has been reissued in a number of books....She then considers Deren's ritualist aesthetics, her modernist film poetics, and her actual practice in filmmaking. Jackson's approach is detailed, stimulating, and enthusiastic. Deren's growing reputation as a film theorist is well served by this book. A filmography and a very helpful bibliography are included." - CHOICE ". . . a fine piece of scholarship on the life, films and film theory of this important American artist. The biographical chapter, rich in insight and authoritative in its facts, fleshes out the skeletal and sometimes inaccurate information published on Deren in the various anthologies. Jackson's extended analysis of the 1946 Anagram of Ideas on Art Form and Film also redresses the long absence in cinema studies of any serious consideration of this complex and principled treatise on the conjunction of issues in art, ethics, and motion pictures. In addition, the author investigates Deren's long involvement with Haitian culture-particularly its dance forms and religious practices-and clarifies previously cloudy information regarding Deren's unfinished film on Voudoun." - Catrina Neiman, 1000, Subjects, 1, Arts & Photography, 2, Biographies & Memoirs, 3, Business & Money, 3248857011, Calendars, 4, Children's Books, 12290, Christian Books & Bibles, 4366, Comics & Graphic Novels, 5, Computers & Technology, 6, Cookbooks, Food & Wine, 48, Crafts, Hobbies & Home, 8975347011, Education & Teaching, 173507, Engineering & Transportation, 301889, Gay & Lesbian, 10, Health, Fitness & Dieting, 9, History, 86, Humor & Entertainment, 10777, Law, 17, Literature & Fiction, 173514, Medical Books, 18, Mystery, Thriller & Suspense, 20, Parenting & Relationships, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 21, Reference, 22, Religion & Spirituality, 23, Romance, 75, Science & Math, 25, Science Fiction & Fantasy, 4736, Self-Help, 26, Sports & Outdoors, 28, Teen & Young Adult, 5267710011, Test Preparation, 27, Travel, 283155, Books<
