Lucy Fischer's introduction explores theories of collecting and representations of collecting and collections in film, while arguing that collections of film ephemera and other media-related collections are an important way in to understanding the relationship between material culture and film and media studies; she notes that the collectors have various motivations and types of collections. In the eleven chapters that follow, media studies scholars analyze a variety of fascinating collected materials, from Doris Day magazines to Godzilla action figures and LEGOs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile most contributors discuss their personal collections, some also offer valuable insight into specific collections of others. In many cases, collections that began as informal and personal have been built up, accessioned, and reorganized to create teaching and research materials which have significantly contributed to the field of film and media studies. Readers are offered glimpses into diverse collections comprised of films, fan magazines, records, comics, action figures, design artifacts, costumes, props– including \u003ci\u003eBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u003c\/i\u003e costumes, \u003ci\u003ePlanet of the Apes\u003c\/i\u003e publicity materials, and \u003ci\u003eAmazing Spider Man\u003c\/i\u003e comics. \u003ci\u003eRecollecting Collecting\u003c\/i\u003e interrogates and illustrates the meaning and practical nature of film and media collections while also considering the vast array of personal and professional motivations behind their assemblage.\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":"Wayne State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563770245400,"sku":"9780814348567","price":59.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/recollecting-collecting-a-film-and-media-perspective-hardback-9780814348567","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
