In an agile demonstration of \"cinephiliac\" historiography, Rashna Wadia Richards extracts intriguing film fragments from their seemingly ordinary narratives in order to explore what these unexpected moments reveal about the studio era. Inspired by Walter Benjamin's preference for studying cultural fragments rather than composing grand narratives, this unorthodox history of the films of the studio system reveals how classical Hollywood emerges as a disjointed network of accidents, excesses, and coincidences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695978086688,"sku":"NEW0253006929","price":32.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71iUA7jYr7L.jpg?v=1779381587","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/cinematic-flashes-cinephilia-and-classical-hollywood-0253006929","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
