Rezension zu „The Apartment Plot: Urban Living in American Film and Popular Culture, 1945 to 1975 “
"The Apartment Plot is a lively and fascinating read. I was convinced every step of the way by Pamela Robertson Wojcik's arguments about the apartment plot, including how it works as a genre as well as a cycle, how it makes concrete and sometimes problematizes an urban philosophy, and how it represents alternative ideological perspectives on post-war adult life otherwise obscured by all the attention to suburban living. This remarkable book offers a necessary corrective to many dominant and simplistic assumptions about post-war American life." Steven Cohan, author of Incongruous Entertainment: Camp, Cultural Value, and the MGM Musical "The Apartment Plot is an imaginative, thoroughly researched, closely observed, accomplished interdisciplinary work on the mid-century 'apartment plot' in American film and, to a lesser but important degree, TV, design, print, and sociology. It is a lively and engaging book that both breaks new ground and renovates existing critical edifices."oPatricia White, co-author of The Film Experience: An Introduction
