New/Recent: Medieval Motion Picture: The Politics of Adaptation

Here's another recent book of interest. This one looks to be from mostly European scholars.

The Medieval Motion Picture: The Politics of Adaptation
Edited by Andrew James Johnston, Margitta Rouse, Philipp Hinz
Publisher Palgrave Macmillan
Series The New Middle Ages

$95.00
ISBN 9780230112506
Publication Date April 2014
Hardcover (256 pages)
Formats Hardcover Ebook (EPUB) Ebook (PDF)

Details

Providing new and challenging ways of understanding the medieval in the modern and vice versa, The Medieval Motion Picture: The Politics of Adaptation highlights how medieval aesthetic experience breathes life into contemporary cinema. Engaging with the subject of time and temporality, the essays examine the politics of adaptation and our contemporary entanglement with the medieval: not only in overtly medieval-themed films but also in such diverse genres as thrillers, horror films, performance animation, and even science fiction. Among the films and TV shows discussed are productions such as HBO's award winning series Game of Thrones, Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, Akira Kurosawa's Ran, and M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense.

Syfy January 2013

The first of three posts today to catch up-to-date with relevant listings on Syfy. The following represent the medieval-themed programming for January 2013.

In addition to the material listed, the network also premiered "Make It Reign", an episode of Face Off featuring designs for a medieval-like secondary world. At the time, I was unaware of its appropriateness, but, as new details have emerged, future air-dates have been added to later postings to the blog.

Of note, the month also featured the US premiere of the fifth (and final) season of Merlin, which recently wrapped up its five-year run in December 2012. The series aired on Syfy in January opening with a marathon of season four, and season five runs from January through April on the network. Season four is now available on DVD and Blu-ray, and season five is due out in April; both seasons (as well as the previous three) are (of course) available through the various digital download providers.
