The Sightlines series constitutes an indispensable chart of the terrain which cinema studies now occupies. Each volume is written by a recognized authority to provide a clear and detailed synopsis of current debates within a particular topic, and to make an original contribution to advancing the state of knowledge within the area. Key arguments and terms are clearly identified and explained, seminal thinkers are assessed, and issues for further research are laid out.
