Dear colleagues,
Just a quick note to announce the publication of my new book, "Stanley
Kubrick at Look Magazine: Authorship and Genre in Photojournalism and
Film," published this month by Intellect (Bristol, UK). Please click on
the link in my signature below for the book's website.
This book discusses Kubrick’s early work as a photojournalist in
terms of his personal development, of the institutional framework of
Look magazine, and of the norms and conventions of photojournalism in
the 1940s. It also outlines the two-way interaction between the media of
film and photojournalism from the late 1930s to the 1950s. This helps to
explain how Kubrick came to master certain photographic and narrative
skills and develop particular thematic interests which initially gave
his photojournalistic work a distinctive quality and then formed the
basis for his work as a filmmaker. It is also shown that throughout his
long career as a filmmaker, Kubrick consistently referred back to
certain aspects of his early photojournalistic work.
