In \u003ci\u003eArchitectures of Revolt\u003c\/i\u003e, the editor and contributors chronicle city-specific case studies from Paris, Berlin, Milan, and Chicago to New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Tokyo. The films discussed range from avant-garde and agitprop shorts to mainstream narrative feature films. All of them share a focus on the city and, often, particular streets and buildings as places of political contestation and sometimes violence, which the medium of cinema was uniquely equipped to capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors include: Stephen Barber\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eStanley Corkin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eJesse Lerner, Jon Lewis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eGaetana Marrone, Jennifer Stob, Andrew Webber, and the editor.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52584907833624,"sku":"9781439910030","price":60.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/architectures-of-revolt-the-cinematic-city-circa-1968-hardback-9781439910030","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
