From 1940 to 1946, these musical films circulated in everyday venues, including bars, bowling alleys, train stations, hospitals, and even military bases. Viewers would pay a dime to watch them playing on the small screens of the Panoram jukebox. This book expands U.S. film history beyond both Hollywood and institutional film practices. Examining the dynamics between Soundies' short musical films, the Panoram's film-jukebox technology, their screening spaces and their popular discourse, Andrea J. Kelley provides an integrative approach to historic media exhibition. She situates the material conditions of Soundies' screening sites alongside formal considerations of the films and their unique politics of representation to illuminate a formative moment in the history of the small screen.  \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction: Soundies Jukebox Films\u003cbr\u003e Part I \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eSmall Screen Encounters and Spatial Practices \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe Look-Listening Machine: The Panoram Jukebox and New Screen Practices \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe Sites of Soundies: The Dynamics of Space and Screen \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 3 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eMobilizing Space: The Panoram goes to War \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part II \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eShort Forms and Enduring Formations \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 4 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eUp Close and Personal: The Shifting Aesthetics of the Jukebox Short \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 5 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\"A Swing Half Breed\": Soundies' Hybrid Identities and Raced Attractions  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 6 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003ePost War Screens: Soundies on TV and the Rehash of the Film Jukebox \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: Short and Sweet: Rescaling Screen Culture \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563704480024,"sku":"9780813586342","price":91.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/soundies-jukebox-films-and-the-shift-to-small-screen-culture-hardback-9780813586342","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
