Abstract

Common Ground: Comparative Histories of Cinema Audiences Comparative cinema historiesIn 2006, when the 'spirit of New Cinema History' was materialising, Richard Maltby called for a cinema history from below, in contrast to a film historiography that started (and usually ended) with films and their directors.Instead, he pleaded for scholars to turn their attention to film audiences and the social and societal impact of cinema. 1 To attain this goal, Maltby argued that a different methodology would need to be adopted in contrast with the traditional textual analysis tool kit mostly derived from literary Portrait of Shirley Temple as a child, Fox Film.From a collector's album.
