Hi Nathan, and the H-List
While not a volume on a single film, Wallflower Press have attempted to
illustrate the plurality of film studies methodologies available to
teachers and students by publishing 'Screen Methods: Comparative
Readings in Film Studies' (2006), edited by Jacqueline Furby and Karen
Randell. The volume comprises case studies offered by film scholars of
how they approach the teaching of individual films via a range of
methodologies.
We have also recently published volumes entitled 'The Blade Runner
Experience: The Legacy of a Science Fiction Classic' (2005), edited by
Will Brooker, and 'The Matrix Trilogy: Cyberpunk Reloaded' (2005,
edited by Stacy Gillis) both of which include contributions focusing on
complementary critical approaches to the study and the reception of the
films.
More information about these volumes are available at

>
> A friend of mine who teaches literature showed me some books the other
> day that were designed to introduce literary theory by taking a wide
> range of critical approaches to the very same novel. He had one on
> Moby Dick, I think, and a few others. So in each chapter there would
> be an introduction to a theoretical/critical approach and then a
> "reading" of the novel from that approach. It struck me as a nice
> teaching tool, and I wondered if anything like that has been done for
> films and different approaches to film theory. Does anyone know if
> such texts exist?

> Any replies will be greatly appreciated.
