Features: This classic work on film history breaks through the limitations of traditional film history research methods by proposing a methodology that situates film history within a broader historical context. It emphasizes and strengthens the core role of theory in historical interpretation and conducts in-depth research on the formation mechanisms of major categories in film history (Aesthetics, Economy, Technology, Society) through case studies. The book elaborates on several fresh research concepts and historical methods. Additionally, Chapter 10 of the book lists a substantial bibliography of literature, providing further research leads for film historians. This book is a reference text for film history studies in film and television programs at universities and colleges in Europe and America.
