The volume expands on new approaches in stylistics, which have moved beyond monomodal emphasis and pragmatic-based analyses. Drawing on a wide range of cinematic texts across genres, contributions showcase both qualitative and quantitative research and their affordances for rich analyses of how telecinematic media use narrative elements to entertain and engage audiences. Examples range from classics such as the Star Trek series and Fargo to contemporary films such as Promising Young Woman and Aftersun. Established and emerging scholars explore such topics as the evolution of style in adaptations, feminist readings, the effect of metaphors, and building worlds through a stylistic lens.
Bringing the study of production and performance analysis together with traditional stylistic approaches to stylistic texts, this book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in stylistics, multimodality, film studies, and media studies.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
