Walker includes sustained analyses of particular films according to a range of theoretical approaches: psychoanalysis, feminism, genre studies, post-colonialism, and queer theory. The films come from disparate temporal and industrial contexts: from Classical Hollywood Gothic melodrama (\u003cem\u003eRebecca\u003c\/em\u003e) to contemporary, critically-acclaimed science fiction (\u003cem\u003eGravity\u003c\/em\u003e). Along with sound tracks from canonical American films including \u003cem\u003eThe Searchers\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTo Have and Have Not\u003c\/em\u003e, Walker analyzes independent Australasian films: examples include \u003cem\u003eHeavenly Creatures\u003c\/em\u003e, a New Zealand film that uses music to empower its queer female protagonists; and \u003cem\u003eTen Canoes\u003c\/em\u003e, the first Australian feature film with a script entirely in Aboriginal languages. \u003cem\u003eUnderstanding Sound Tracks Through Film Theory\u003c\/em\u003e thus not only calls new attention to the significance of sound\u003cbr\u003etracks, but also focuses on the sonic power of characters representing those whose voices have all too often been drowned out. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnderstanding Sound Tracks Through Film Theory\u003c\/em\u003e is both rigorous and accessible to all students and scholars with a grasp of cinematic and musical structures. Moreover, the book brings together film studies, musicology, history, politics, and culture and therefore resonates across the liberal arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsie Walker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199896325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElsie Walker \u003c\/strong\u003eis Associate Professor of Film Studies at Salisbury University, Maryland.
